Thanks to my slow (albeit steady) publishing schedule interspersed with other topics, even the next polyglot event of the year has ended. But fear not! With my thick online face, I shall continue to document my favourite excursion of the year until I’m done! Unbelievable as it was, we’d come to the last day of the main event, and I’d come to my…

Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2016 Trip Report! Day 3

Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2016 Trip Report! Day 3 (only two months late :o)

Read the previous parts: Day 0 Day 1 Day 2

Phew! It’s taken a bit longer than expected to get the third (official) day of the event documented here! That’s mostly due to me setting off on my final journey in Europe and spending more time with my private travelogue than this.

Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2016 Trip Report! Day 1

After killing the time – both mine before the actual gathering and yours for reading my previous post– the actual gathering was about to begin. To be fair, though, Day 0 already contained enough socialising to be considered an essential part of the event. I met tons of polyglots I knew, and even more that I didn’t. It’s pretty magical that we polyglots, or language learners – probably a weird…

Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2016 Trip Report! Day 0

If you’re one of the two people who have been reading my blog since its inception, you might remember how it all started out – with a series of travelogues from Germany. Okay, I’ve always planned to make it predominantly a language blog, and I never managed to complete the series, but guess what, it’s #throwback today, so why not…write a language post that’s also a travelogue in Germany?

So…we’re…

10 days to Polyglot Gathering

One month ago I decided I’d take it easy and go as I am, without straining myself to keep my languages up to par.

10 days before the event, I’m starting to regret it.

SHIT JUST GOT SERIOUS.
