Learning a new language can be lonely. And while the Internet connects us with other language learners across the globe, sometimes it’s just nice to get out and meet other people who share your passion. This year, I’m attending my FIRST language event and I am just over the moon excited. I can’t wait to finally meet all of you face to face. So in...

As a freelance musician and recording artist, I find that I spend a lot of time at home in between gigs and sessions. To an outsider, it may seem like a musician’s only job is to perform, but there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes and a lot of it is done at home. While this is a great thing –...

When I graduated, I lost...

Warning: incredibly long post. Skip here if you want to get straight to the language learning stuff. Not long ago, my parents decided to make a few changes to their home. This meant that they needed to move their furniture around and the items I had stowed away in some of that furniture had to go. You see, my husband and I had just moved...

Despite several years of language learning under my belt, there’s still one thing that I struggle with more than anything else. Consistency. Don’t get me wrong – I love learning languages which is why I keep doing it over and over and over. Sometimes, life just gets in the way. Today, sitting down and studying is habitual.

Italian. One of the first languages I tackled, and one that as of late, was long neglected. It is also one that I worked on when I had absolutely no idea how to study a language. Italian is one that I thought a course and a certification meant I knew it. One that I continued to study for a few short months after school in...

This month, as you can guess from the title, I’m revealing my next language project. It’s certainly something that’s happening much farther down the road. I’m still working on Spanish and then plan to revisit Russian, but Japanese is in my future. The past few weeks, I have compiled the resources I’d like to use, consulted with fellow learners and I feel just about ready...
