Something New, Something Called Corrigo
Heraclitus is known for his doctrine of change being central to the universe, and that is certainly true in my universe. In my 40 years of life (41 soon), I have come to love change and embrace it—change is good. I am very happy in my work-life, so to stir things up a bit, I recently took on a new role within my company and with that role comes a very steep learning curve. I had to learn an entirely new tool called Corrigo to be deployed in a month’s time for the new client I'd be managing.
Kató Lomb
A few days ago, I received my order of Alex Rawlings' book, HOW TO SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE FLUENTLY. I'm now on page 84 and Kató Lomb was mentioned in the introduction, so I started to research more about her. She was a Hungarian interpreter, translator and one of the first simultaneous interpreters in the world. My research brought me to TESL-EJ website where I found three of Lomb’s books.
How to Speak Any Language Fluently
HOW TO SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE FLUENTLY by Alex Rawlings arrived in the mail today. I’m super excited and I'm placing this bright yellow book alongside my other language books.
I first found out about Alex from Olly Richards' podcast series, I Will Teach You A Language.
New Notebooks
I have been using the Five Star spiral notebooks (sheet size: 8-1/2" x 11") for over a week now and I'm loving it. The paper is lightweight but the quality is good. Ink doesn’t bleed through the paper even when I use my Tombow brush pens and Pilot drawing pens.
Which to Choose?
When I saw this post by Itchy Feet on Twitter, I was like, oh gosh, that is so what I'm getting when I tell people I'm learning Swedish.
Mapping Experiences
As a program manager, I'm obsessed with two things: thinking and processes. And then I found this book, MAPPING EXPERIENCES, by Jim Kalbach. This book is about possibilities and I'm super excited how it'll help me expand my thinking.
