I love Ewann McGregor!
Here is a commercial for ING, featuring the awesome Ewan Mcgregor — who decided to change his name to “Ewann” 😉 Of course, I didn’t understand what he said in Hungarian — but he made the language even sexier than it already is 🙂 Here...
Language learning update – Week ending 1 March 2015
As I said previously, I have re-evaluated my language goals and have put together a daily plan to ensure that I am on track with these goals. My reaction to this first week? Whew! I survived!! It wasn’t easy, especially at the end of the weekday,...
Super Language Overhaul
I have a confession: I don’t think I would succeed in my very first italki challenge. It was going well and I had this plan of taking 5 sessions of French first, then Hungarian second. I finished all my sessions for basic French almost midway...
Happy 2015!
Whew! It was a whirlwind in 2014! I didn’t realise how much has happened until I narrated my entire year to my surfing sister, Desiree. Last year was big, fast and fun. I feel that 2015 will even be bigger, faster and more awesome! To...
My daily Hungarian battle plan
It took me a fair amount of time but I think I found a workable study plan for Hungarian. As there are considerably less available materials, I needed all the help I could get. Compared to French, I am having a more difficult time with this...
My first italki-Skype chat with a Hungarian language partner
Last month, I signed up with italki because all my favourite polygots were talking about it. But I got overwhelmed by the sheer number of people in the site so I logged out and forgot about it. But this month, I was re-evaluating my language...
90-day language challenge – update #1
The first 10 days of my 90-day language challenge was not easy. Not surprising, of course. In the beginning, I was struggling to find the time to do all 3. Despite this, I still managed to find pockets of extra time during the day for...
90-day language challenge times three!
Whew! July flew by so fast and tomorrow is August 1st. Excuse the lack of updates as things have been so crazy this month. One, I moved to a new house. Yay! I am a homeowner! Two, I started teaching again. Three, things have been...
Mini Magyar update: Starting over again
This is a long overdue update on my Hungarian lessons. Update? What update? 🙂 For weeks, I put Hungarian (and Japanese) on the back burner while I concentrated on French. I must admit that I am struggling a bit with the language because: 1) it...
Language learning update – 8 May 2014
A rundown of my language learning activities for the past few days: 1. Filipino – my boss will be back in Manila next week and I have a few more days to prepare for lessons. I’ve been meaning to make some more Brainscape decks for...
Language learning update
Bonjour à tous! お元気ですか？Ako, keri lang 🙂 Just a bit of an update from the language learning front. I know that I haven’t been writing much about the topic since quitting my Alliance Française classes. But I assure you that I have not stopped studying...
