Contributor Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Eurolinguiste. Our articles provide language learners with the insight, tools, and advice they need to acquire their next language. To submit content, please use the contact form at the end of this page. Please review the submission criteria prior to sending in any materials.

Submission Criteria

We would love to feature content from the members of our community. We ask that guest contributors submit articles that fall within certain criteria so that they align with the goals of Eurolinguiste as an educative resource.

Posts can be reviews of any of the following language learning materials: textbooks, podcasts, games, websites, or events. We also accept certain travel-related reviews. The review cannot be of your own product. Example: Our review of FluentU.
Posts can provide advice on certain aspects of language learning including time management, careers, study techniques, etc. If you opt to write an advice piece, the information included should be realistic and can be implemented into the readers’ language learning practices. If possible, include real-life examples of how you yourself have applied the advice that you have given. Example: Cases | What This Word Means for Language Learners
Posts can provide advice on certain aspects of travel including city guides, restaurants, travel activities, budget travel, etc. If you opt to write a travel advice piece, the information included should be realistic and feasible for readers. If possible, include real life examples of how you yourself have applied the advice that you have given. Example: The House of Alexandre Dumas | Chateau Monte Cristo
Writing should be targeted to DIY language learners. Example: Use What You Know | A Language Hacking Guide
We encourage the use of videos, photos, screenshots and other visual content within your posts. We also love posts with resources that can be used by our readers such as guides or checklists that can be attached as downloads. Example: Top 8 Language Learning Resources I Actually Use
Guest posts for Eurolinguiste are written on an exchange basis. If you write for me, I’d love for you to consider me writing for you!

In addition, we do not accept submissions that fall into the following categories:

Posts that are not organized or that are not clear.
Posts that are clearly used for self-promotion and do not provide valuable content to the readers.
