Eurolinguiste / Language Resources
Today is an incredibly important day – it’s Little Linguist’s first birthday! This weekend we’re celebrating this big milestone, but for today, I’ve got my little one all to myself. July was a whirlwind month. I wrapped up the launch of Language Learning Accelerator, started Get by in Croatian, dove into my Croatian, Russian and Japanese studies, said goodbye to my grandfather alongside family I...

One of the most important things you can do for your language learning is find something tied to your language (aside from the language itself) that you love. Or at the very least, that you find interesting. For me, I love history, food, and travel, so these are the things that I tend to latch on to whenever I start learning a new language. And...

Recently, I wrote that I am restarting both my Croatian and Russian language studies. I earlier shared the exact steps I took to go about my three day Italian language refresh, and while I’ll be using some of the same tactics, my strategy will be far less intensive because I do not have a deadline for refreshing either Russian or Croatian. Whenever I get back...

Since leaving Ireland, I’ve become fascinated with visiting places where you can learn about, see, or experience the process that goes into creating something. It all started when I got the touristy experience in Ireland, taking friends or family down to Guinness or Jameson in Dublin when they visited. Seeing the history and process that went into creating their beers and whisky fascinated me. As...

As a quick recap, here are the books we’ve read so far this year: January // Book about your native language February // Book in your target language (translation of a book from your native language) March // A book...

Please note that I was given a month trial to Baselang in order to write this review. All opinions are my own. After studying Russian, I decided I needed a break. Something that in comparison, with my background in French and Italian, would be easier. Spanish seemed to be the perfect solution. I began dabbling in the language, trying it on to see how it...

You know those restaurants that are ‘in the neighborhood’, those that you pass by endlessly without ever realizing the incredible experience that awaits you just within their doors? I often spend so much time trying to find places that I can travel to and try out that I forget to look at what right there in front of me. Sushi Wazen is one of those...

You learned a language. Congrats! That’s huge. Take a moment and applaud all of your hard work. Now, let’s talk about why you’re really here. That one language wasn’t enough, was it? You feel the call of yet another, but you’re worried about language interference, or mixing. You don’t want to ruin all of that work you just invested into learning the first language by...

The Covered Market, or Spice Market or even Grand Marché in Fort-de-France, Martinique was established in 1886. It is known for its wide variety of spices, and it’s the perfect place to go to find fruits, vegetables, spices, rum, madras fabric or clothes, and local handcrafts. There are several small restaurants located within the market and they offer local cuisine. It was one of these,...
