Try as I might, I couldn’t think of a unifying theme for this. So, let’s just do the easiest stuff first, OK? #1 on the list is to thank Steve, Sieglind and Harold, all of whom spotted glitches with Monday’s exercises. If you want to have another look at them, now they are ‘new and […]

How I started learning a language using only an easy reader
Friday’s post ‘It’s time to add a new element to your Italian study plan‘ was really long. This one will be shorter, promise! One reason is that I’m rather behind with my usual tasks, after having spent most of Sunday afternoon having a go at SWEDISH. The idea was to show that it’s possible to […]
