Tower of Confusion

The Aspiring Polyglot points out another new language blog, the Tower of Confusion. So far, the focus seems to be Cantonese and Mandarin though there are nods to French and Vietnamese. For some fun stories to keep you going when you're wondering just why you took up language learning in the first place, drop by. Let us hope for many stories and tips to come.

On a somewhat related note that I've been meaning to get to, let's hope that all is well with Polyglottery and he has merely found something better to do with his time, as the postings stopped some time ago but were both regular and informative up to the end date. If you're new to language blogs, you should drop by in those idle moments awaiting the next posts from the Aspiring Polyglot and the Omniglot, who is currently on vacation.

The Language Addict, for his part, will be listening to at least lessons 6 and 7 of Pimsleur Turkish in the next day or so. And I've been making a regular habit of listening to Laura Pausini, whose style very much fits the adult contempo demographic to which I belong. As a result I'm feeling pretty good about my Spanish and (to a lesser extent) Italian lately, and my French is as good as usual. Now I just need to find something good to listen to in German. So far, I've ruled out listening to the complete Ring cycle!
