I truly enjoyed reading the article, Does Your Language Shape How You Think? by Guy Deutscher in the New York Times Magazine, because the linguist author shows how different languages appreciate color, space, directions and gendered nouns and how these differences may effect the way we see and experience the world.

I’ve read several articles from the UK criticizing the Labor government’s move in 2004 to not make it obligatory for schools to teach foreign languages to 14-16 year olds. I can’t believe a government in this day and age thinks foreign languages are not of supreme importance. This BBC piece by Will Smale, Should British [...]

How to learn foreign languages using music & media
“How can you speak so many languages with such good accents?” This is a common question I get as I speak seven languages (Russian, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian and Italian) with perfect or almost perfect accents. I didn’t spend years majoring in foreign languages in college or specialize in pedagogy. I did take foreign [...]
