Six months into the year already. That’s just so hard to believe. I feel like each year time speeds up, but maybe that’s just me. My Six Month Goal Check-In I had two major goals this next year to improve my abilities as a linguist and as a musician by researching and further practicing my crafts. They were to: 1. Read 20 books that were...

In my Weekly Wishes a month or two ago I had mentioned that I wanted to start doing travel videos and while I shared that I had, in fact, created a few, I have yet to share them. My First Travel Video After seeing Esther & Jacob‘s travel video from the Galapagos Islands, I was inspired to begin creating a few of my own, and...

I cannot believe we are already eleven days into June! Time really goes by too quickly. I hope this month doesn’t sneak by as quickly as May seemed to do. This post is a part of The Nectar Collective Weekly Wishes Link Up. LAST MONTH’S GOALS Practice a lot. I definitely practiced more than usual but took a break for a few days following my...

I typically keep my two online profiles separate, Eurolinguiste and SKsaxgirl, but I recently did something that I wanted to share with you here as well because I’m really excited about having had the opportunity. Last night I played on Jimmy Kimmel Live with Mø. It was a ton of fun and the videos are already available online on the Jimmy Kimmel Live website so...

My obsession with taking photos of Starbucks around the world began in 2009 while I was on tour in Colorado. After a week long tour, I had yet to enjoy a single cup of coffee and I was feeling it (particularly because of the non-stop schedule). It was our last day before flying back home – and lo and behold! – a Starbucks in Breckenridge,...

While M and I were in Malaysia earlier this month, we did not have much time to visit the area as our schedules were full with the event for which we were there visiting. We had one afternoon where we had the opportunity to drive into Kuala Lumpur from Putrajaya, and after visiting the city, we decided to take a twenty-minute taxi ride to a...

It seems I am a little late to the party this month on updating my goals. I wrote my April Goals out the end of March and this month I’m just now sharing them more than halfway through May. Yikes! I guess playing catch up after traveling out of the country for a month will do that to your blogging schedule when you still have...

This last weekend, M (my husband), decided it was time to get me out of the house. We opted to play “tourists at home” and headed out to old town San Juan Capistrano to eat lunch, visit the mission, and enjoy the cool air and historic sights. I managed to take a few pictures with my phone (we didn’t decide where to go until after...

I was contacted a few months back by FluentU because they thought I might be interested in trying out their platform as I continued to learn Mandarin Chinese. Never one to miss out on an opportunity to try out new language learning tools, I agreed and am I now a big fan. I had hoped to publish my review earlier, but as you know, I’ve...

Language Resources
It’s one thing to study and learn a language, but it’s entirely another when you finally get to use it. While it’s fun to earn points on Memrise or Duolingo, slip Disc 16 of your Pimsleur Mandarin lessons into your CD Player, or recognize a symbol or two of Chinese in a magazine article, it’s far more rewarding to begin to hold a conversation (or...
