Every time people mention how they have increased the amount of foreign language input they get from their blogs (the ones they read that is) I always think that, hey, that's a great idea, but I never do anything about it. Because looking for blogs can be tiresome and I try to avoid browsing as much as possible. However, there is The Forum, where there are people who can recommend things. I finally decided to add some Russian blogs to my blog roll, so I asked for some recommendations from the fellow language enthusiasts on the forum. Lindley recommended some Russian blogs, and through them I found some others. All of a sudden I'm reading much more Russian, and I'm writing a little bit more as well since the blogs are very interesting and I often have something to say on them :-) I have posted these links on the forum as well, they (and other links) can be found here, but I thought I would crosspost it on the blog as well.
http://lingvomania.info/ - I don't think this blog is about any language in particular, and I haven't read that many old posts yet, but it looks very good!
http://amikeco.ru/ - this blog seems to deal with Esperanto, but also with language related things in general, and it seems to be updated very regularly. It also looks very interesting.
http://www.lingvotutor.ru/ - quite a lot about English!
I can't remember how I found this blog, but I find it amusing:
http://www.la-ja-femme.ru/ - "a blog for women, and for men who understand them" - a blog with lots of short articles about... just about anything related to beauty, health and so on.
And I gladly accept recommendations for more blogs! (As long as it's not about English.)
I really wish I could find more French blogs I like. :( Aside from a couple of BD blogs, the only French blogs I sites I read are Gizmodo.fr and Slate.fr. There are so many other places I go on the internet that I wish were in French. Language blogs, for instance: I only have one French language learning blog in Google Reader. I wish there was a French Lifehacker, or Reddit, or any number of sites I spend time on. There just isn't a French equivalent for them.
ReplyDeleteFor Dutch I've managed to find Tweakers.net, which is ok.
