The Language Geek

As if writing one blog isn’t enough, for a few months now, I’ve been writing a second one. It’s called Language Geek, and you can find it here. Language Geek is a couple of things: it’s a journal of my progress (and my inevitable set backs) in learning foreign languages. At the moment, I’m learning German and Russian.

The blog is also just about languages in general: tidbits I find interesting, peculiararities, etc., along with links to language sites and articles. If I were to compare Language Geek to another blog, I’d say it’s most similar to Confessions of a Language Addict (except, in my opinion, that blog is far better than mine - but I digress).

It could be argued that I could have just wrote about languages here (and I had intended to, actually), but ultimately, I decided to make a stand-alone blog for it. Some of the stuff I write about at Language Geek is a bit too language-geeky for many people, I think, and I didn’t want to scare off readers of System 13 by rambling on and on about verb conjugations and prepositional objects.

Anyway! If you’re into foreign languages (or if you just can’t get enough me, heh), check out Language Geek. If nothing else, you’ll get to read about me getting my tongue in knots while trying to pronounce Russian words.
