Since I am focusing a lot of my time on learning Spanish and documenting my progress (meaning I read lots of Language Learning blogs) I think it’s a good idea to share a list of blogs I read regularly so that you can easily discover these great resources. These are not the only blogs I read, but they are some of the best. Obviously there is no way that I could have found all the good ones, so if you have suggestions, please post them in the comments, or tweet them to me @aemoritz!

I will add these blogs to the blogroll, but here they are, in no particular order, on their own, for your bookmarking pleasure:

  1. Language Mastery is geared towards adult language learners who want to find out about great resources and who want to receive great advice. John also has a podcast, along with several other interesting projects. I love reading the latest posts on this blog and twitter.
  2. Vincent, the Street Smart Language Learner, posts reviews, tips, summaries of science articles related to language learning, lyrics to Chinese Christmas carols. He lives in Tokyo, speaks a whole bunch of languages, and you can follow him on twitter.
  3. The Yearlyglot. Taking on the challenge of learning a language a year? That’s not the main draw for me. I just like the way Randy writes. Stubborn-asshole-and-proud-of-it? Yup. Has a lot to say, and sometimes I don’t agree? Yes, and I want to listen. Entertaining? Definitely. Should you also follow him @yearlyglot? mhmm.
  4. Ramses, who writes Spanish Only, is studying Spanish in college…but really he’s doing it on his own and has a great blog with tips and stories and transcripts of tv shows and movies! He’s about to start a semester in Galicia, Spain, where he’ll also be studying Galician. Very cool! twitter!
  5. ielanguages.com is a super comprehensive site, which makes sense, because if you read Jennie’s about page you’ll catch on that she’s a bit of an overachiever (which i think is awesome, btw). While she is based in France right now, her website offers tips, tutorials, articles, resources for a bunch of languages, and she focuses on French, Italian, Spanish, and German. Her twitter is also comprehensive.
  6. Andrew’s How to Learn Spanish blog is awesome and he’s also learning Spanish. He gives lots of examples of how he is trying to absorb as much Spanish as he can. I particularly love his recent post on learning Spanish from Shakira’s La Tortura. I mean…I’ve loved her since I was in middle school or whenever. You can follow him @andrew_the_odd.
  7. Tofugu is really fun to read. Even though I am not actively studying Japanese right now, I have a lot of connections to Japanese culture and people and love reading his blog. It’s funny and I also like tofugu on twitter.
