This last year I completed a Project 365 where I practiced and worked on music everyday for an entire year. I hope to keep practicing as much as possible, and I am sure it will be more often than not, but this year I have a different goal. This year I aim to work on an entirely different aspect of my music abilities. To throw...

My problem is that I have too many things that I like to do and not enough time for them all. I constantly seek ways to find a way to balance all of my hobbies, but it also means that I’m never bored. There’s always something to do. Along with traveling, photography, language learning, music, writing, and cooking, I love to read. When I say...

There are a number of tasks that I would like to accomplish in the next year, but rather than focus on a series of short term resolutions, I’d like to something a little different.

This recipe has become pretty popular amongst my family – my mom even made...

Each month I check-in on the work I have been doing in the various languages I am studying, sharing the resources and methods I have been using and where I am at with each language. This month, due to other commitments, I have not had as much time as I would have liked to dedicate to language study. Aside from the two languages I use...

When my blog was over on WordPress.com, I had a section called the “Eurodictionary.” It’s moved here with the rest of my content to Eurolinguiste.com, but I have yet to write about what, exactly, the Eurodictionary is for those of you who have recently joined me. I live in a bilingual household and so there is a lot of code-switching that goes on (the shift...

This next spring I will be going back to Paris to visit with family and I am so excited! It’s been several years since the last time I was there and I cannot wait to go back. I love Paris, I love visiting Paris, I love the people in Paris, especially my family (who are so lucky to get to live there – ouais, je...
