My 2020 Language Goals
Last week I shared a rather ambitious project I plan to see through 2020, but those goals didn’t include the languages I’m already studying. So, this post—my final one of 2019—is me laying out my plans for the next year;…
20 Endangered Languages in 2020
2019 might have been the International Year of Indigenous Languages (and hey, if you were interested in that, then keep your eyes out for 2022-2032!), but I didn’t want to lose any of the motivation that year brought heading into…
Old English: A Holiday Mini-Challenge
We might be wrapping this year up, but with just a couple of weeks to go, I’ve found myself another challenge to take part in. It’s a mini-challenge, being hosted over on the Language Learner’s Forum, and I’m really excited…

Whelp, my October ‘resolutions’ didn’t last long, so I’ve decided to go back to a tried-and-true method of keeping myself on track: Clear the List! November’s been a busy month, so I’m hoping to slow down in December, but I’m…

100 Days Left of 2019! 😱
There are only 100 days left in 2019, whaaat?! That in mind, I thought it might be a good idea to set myself some goals for my language learning—though I’m going to have to watch out for how busy this…
My Language Learning Hitlist
After reading a bunch of articles about hyperpolyglots this past week (for work, too!), it got me to thinking about the languages I’d really like to have a good grasp of one day. So, I put together a list and,…
90 Days of French: Can I get from A0 to A2 in 90 days? 🤔
Back in March, I signed up for the ‘Free and Legal’ language challenge for the second time, with French as my language of choice. With just over three months left to go, I’m definitely lagging behind. Can I turn it…
Weekly Language Learning Goals – Week Eight: Scaling Back
Hey everyone! So I’m currently at the end of a nice (well-deserved, if I do say so myself!) long week off work—and though I didn’t hit all of my goals this past week, I did manage some, as well as…
