We all want 2021 to be an awesome year. And it can, through simple actions.
I love the topic of habits but let’s be honest, it gets overwhelming sometimes. There are articles telling us to change all of our life in a matter of seconds, as if it was no…
For the untrained eye, polyglots all look alike. They speak “many” languages and that’s it. The reality is quite different. There are 3 kinds of polyglots who follow different patterns but follow the same goal: gather knowledge in multiple languages.
The first one, and most often found around the world…
It’s easy to get lost in the sea of pointless language learning apps. Especially when you’re starting your first foreign language. They are everywhere.

I’m not the only one. Feeling like you’ve remembered nothing despite a lot of work is something we all experience.
It’s also wrong.
If you’ve never stopped learning, you don’t suck anymore. You just happen to…
Writing can be a very introverted task or a very extroverted one. You can talk with people from the other side of the world without leaving the comfort of your home.
We all chat with friends and colleagues daily and yet believe people who share their writing online are different…
I don’t understand why most people still believe they can’t learn a language.
