I think the thing that I was most excited to do when I got to the United Kingdom was having tea. The thought of being in the land of a proper English tea party was tantalizing, I couldn’t sleep the night before! It conjures imagery of me playing 1700’s tea party as a kid and dressing…
Nothing is Beneath you
When you are feeling like you are stuck and can’t get beyond something or feel like you have started too late or even that you aren’t where you need to be compared to your peers, stop and think about this. Be in it for the learning experience. I have this experience from time to time when…
Thoughts on Iceland
The land of fire and Ice. its history is full of Viking lore, elves, and Nordic fishermen. Discovered by Norseman Ingólfur Arnarsson in the 9th century, its mystic hues are ruddy brown, mossy green and white with snow-capped mountains. There were tales of elves causing mischief as recently as 1972. I was told that the construction of a freeway…
Challenges of Language Learning: What language do I choose?
In the great wide world of tongues, there are languages that are easy and there are the ones that make you want to rip out your hair. I must be a glutton for punishment because I like to learn what are called less commonly taught languages. These are the hard ones and the hard to…
加油! let’s go!
I’ve gotten some backers onboard with Linglobal! It’s officially a full-fledged global education program, kind of a big deal, right? But now what?

I would go with my mom on her endless shopping trips and make a beeline for the magazines. I would always manage to find a bookstore if we were in a…

To be successful, one cannot plan and never follow through. Henry Ford once said,”you cant build a reputation on what you’re going to do”. The essence of these statements is to follow through even if you don’t know how. This article is about how I will execute and how you can take these steps a little at…
Being on Track Attack Plan
I’ve recently begun seeing a life coach, he suggested coming up with a plan, a goal if you will. Anything you want to achieve in life, and we will spend 3 months working to achieve this goal. The thought of endless possibilities made me feel like a kid in a candy store, what do I…
Back on track to being a polyglot
A month ago, I met young lady while I was out at a restaurant for dinner. She had an ebullience, as sweet and bubbly the tropical pink drink in front of her. Her keys were dangling too close to me, being the spaz I am about personal space, I noticed her purse and keys with detail. A little British double decker…
Day One in Trump America
Let’s face it we are now living in Trump America and on day one of Trump America, I was called a “Nigger Bitch” by one of his supporters. On social media, a “friend” of mine posted a status saying “fuck Hillary, you nigger bitch!” I told him this was not okay. He was someone that…
