Last month I reviewed the French version of Flashsticks, pre-made flashcards printed out onto sticky notes to create a fun and interactive way to study new vocabulary. This month, I’m staying on the same topic – flashcards – but I’d like to talk about a web-based option. Today I’d like to introduce you to Antosch & Lin. About Antosch & Lin Antosch & Lin are...

These past few months, the talented blogger and language learner, Lindsay Dow, over at Lindsay Does Languages has hosted the #IGLC, a challenge to help her fellow language lovers improve their languages by using prompts. This was my third month participating, and I decided to once again alter just how I took part in the challenge. The first month I posted images with new-to-me vocabulary. The second I recorded short...

It’s time for my monthly language learning strategies update and I’ve decided to combine it with the monthly goal post I share as a part of Weekly Wishes. Due to the transition I mentioned earlier, I think it makes sense to combine the two since both posts are goal based. This post was created as part of The Nectar Collective linkup. Friends! It’s April which means that...

One of the greatest benefits of technology is that it puts an endless amount of information in our hands and that it simplifies a lot of our daily tasks. This includes learning. With so many incredible and varied resources immediately available to us, it is so much easier to learn a language now than it was in the past. And not only are learning resources...

If there weren’t already existing flashcard decks on applications such as Memrise and Anki, I probably wouldn’t bother to study with flashcards which is a shame because flashcards can be a great way to retain and refresh vocabulary in a new language. I still have blank notecards left over from high school, but I’ve never gotten around to sitting down and writing useful vocabulary on...

In my opinion, tones are one of the (if not the) most difficult aspect of learning Mandarin Chinese. Even after close to a year of study, they are still something that I struggle with as a language learner. Without a private teacher or language exchange partners (who sometimes let your pronunciation slide), there’s really no good way of knowing whether or not you’re correctly pronouncing...

The last few months, the talented blogger and language learner, Lindsay Dow, over at Lindsay Does Languages has hosted the #IGLC, a challenge to help her fellow language lovers improve their languages by using prompts.

We’ve arrived towards the end of month two of 2015 and so it’s time for me to share my language update and language learning strategies post. For those of you new to my blog, I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese and Croatian. I plan to take the HSK test this December and so I am preparing for that test using a variety of methods. Even...

I’ve mentioned my personal experience and history with language learning in a few different posts. And I try to keep this page updated. Although, if I am totally honest, I haven’t been doing a great job… I grew up speaking two languages, but I stopped speaking one of them at a young age, so I’ve forgotten nearly all of it.
