While not getting too specific about who it was who irritated me the other day, while I was doing this roku account on twitter, I’d like talk about criticism and how I’ve chosen to use social media. To be clear, I’m neither a good American nor a well-integrated German visitor. Other expats or immigrants or… Continue reading rolling with the haters, and begging for feedback or questions

Twitter? I hardly know *anyone* there
This next week, I’m tweeting for a local account, which I did for a week nearly a decade back and it was HORRIBLE.

Stories of Keith Moon or Icarus be damned, I’m flying as close to the sun as I… Continue reading briller de tous ses feux and now
Get your English back to where it was…easy peasy!
How does this relate to you learning enough English so you can communicate with your own little carpet munchers? Maybe you already understand and even speak English when you travel, and you’d just like to practise a bit.
