Burnout, baby, burnout!
Or, the original title: Language learning update – week ending 15 March Japanese On days that I badly needed some extra sleep minutes, I would begin to think that this whole JLPT N1 thing was a bad idea…just 3 weeks in and I am starting...
Magsalita ka ba ng Tagalog, pare?
Here is an awesome video of the wonderful Moses McCormick speaking Tagalog with Damion, his student. “Kawiliwili” — I think this is Moses’ favourite Tagalog word!! 😀 And Damion, wow, this guy knows a lot already!! Talaga? Magaganda ang babae sa Pilipinas? Hahaha. Seriously, love...
Bogart the Explorer interviews Hugh Jackman!
I am a huge fan of Bogart — he is spontaneous and his jokes are original. He was in an air freshener commercial before — I remember that I wasn’t really paying attention; I was so surprised when I saw that the guy talking was...
Language learning update – March 8
Ta-daaa! Look who made it through week 2. And only one black item. Whew. I am getting used to a routine and it’s not so bad. In general, I tend to keep Japanese in the morning and Hungarian in the afternoon. In the evening, I...
Filipino Nathan Hermida on The Voice
Seventeen year old Nathan Hermida joins the likes of JR Aquino and Chesa to pass the Blind Auditions of The Voice. He sounded so smooth and mature, and he got Adam and Christina to turn around. Check out Blake’s face at the 1:29 mark. 🙂...
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...
Gong Ci Fa Xai! Happy New Year!
May this year bring us lots of happiness, bigger successes, better health…greater lives! I am not Chinese (obviously) but I have many Chinese friends. Hopefully, I can study Mandarin within the next couple of years…and then I will rock Taiwan! 😀 That reminds me…I haven’t...
JLPT now twice a year in the Philippines in 2015
I was just thinking of the exam today and how I really need to start studying soon. Ogata-sensei explicitly told me to take the N1 exam in 2015, instead of proctoring every year 😛 Ack. But probably not N1… ============================== The Japanese Language Proficiency Test...
Backstreet Boys in Manila!
The greatest boy band in the world is coming to Manila in May for a concert! I want to go….I missed their concert with the New Kids on the Block a couple of years ago. But this time, I really want to. I have to!...
