Kotowaza - 三日坊主 and 七転び八起き 2009-01-10 16:18:10 This is a post from a Japanese language blog I no longer update. Since I’ve marked that blog for deletion, I thought I’d post a copy here to preserve it for future reference.
Japanese has a wide range of proverbs, kotowaza (諺), to describe most situations and emotions. Many Japanese learners give up after [...]
Podcast Review - Romanian Podcast.Net 2009-01-09 16:33:00 I promised a few podcast reviews some time ago so I’m working slowly through the list of sites I bookmarked. I’ve decided to continue my series of podcast reviews with a review of Romanian-Podcast

I should have asked my Polish colleague to translate this [...]

Sleigh Bells Ring… 2008-12-21 23:56:58 Dear readers,
My mother is coming over for Christmas and New Year (she should be arriving tonight). Christmas is only a few days away and there’s still a lot to be done so I apologise in advance for the lack of new posts between now and New Year.
In case I don’t get the chance [...] Read more:Sleigh
The Name of the Rose 2008-12-15 17:07:38 My partner was in Italy last week on business and he brought me a copy of Umberto Eco’s Il nome della rosa (The Name of the Rose) back with him for me to read. While I’m not actively learning Italian, I enjoy reading Italian books and magazines and find it a brilliant way to improve [...]
