2022 Reflection and 2023 Goals
Another year is upon us and, although I didn’t really post anything here in 2022 (no, seriously!), it’s time to get back on the horse. While I didn’t get as much done with regard to language learning in 2022 as…
Review: Triad Princess
Triad Princess boasts the title of being Taiwan’s first Netflix original series and with a fun concept – and a short run of only six episodes – it seemed like a great show for me to try out during the #40h7dLC…
#40h7dLC? More Like 22h7dLC!
What’s up, lovely people? I hope you all had a good week – I certainly found myself in the middle of a busy one! Of course, last week marked my second attempt at the #40h7dLC, which went markedly less well than…
#40h7dLC Review (April 2021)
¡Hola amigos! How’ve you all been doing? I’ve taken a semi-break from language learning since just after the last #40h7dLC – nothing to do with the challenge, of course! But I thought I’d come back and give you all a…
#40h7dLC Day Three: TV time!
Hi, all! We’re onto the fourth day of this #40h7dLC, which means it’s time for me to talk about what I got done on day three. Spoiler alert: it went pretty well and was a nice gentle day to break…

#40h7dLC Day One: Off to the races!
Yesterday might have been a busy one, but I think I got off to a pretty good start with the #40h7dLC. It’s been great to see the enthusiasm everyone’s had for this challenge and that’s been reflected, I think, in…
#40h7dLC: A New Language Challenge
Hey there, guys, gals and non-binary pals (and everyone else, ofc)! The last time I posted was a while back now – all about the amazing weekend I had at Women in Language – and I’ve spent the time since…
Women in Language: Day Four (Spring 2021)
Well, that’s it for another year. Women in Language 2021 is over. It’s been a lot, these past four days. So much advice about learning languages, growing as a learner (and a person), building your community, finding your purpose… And…
Women in Language: Day Three (Spring 2021)
Happy Saturday! You know, I thought today was an early start for me (I woke up at around 6:40 and just dragged my laptop onto the bed so I could watch the opening talk) but props to all those viewers…
