This is a completely revised listing from March 2019, with some sporadic updates. I’m always excited to be able to add more podcasts to the list, so if you know of any linguistics/language podcasts not here, please let me know! (I usually wait until a show has at least 3 episodes before I add it to the list)

I’ve updated the Linguistics/Language podcast recommendations list!

It’s always exciting to see new linguistics and language podcasts, and old favourites still going strong. As always, if there’s a linguistics or language podcast you love that is not on the list, let me know!

French Resource Folder

lemonadeandlanguages:

Hey guys!

Since I’ve had this blog for about a year and a half now,  I decided to compile them all into one folder on OneDrive so that they would be easier to access :) I’ll be updating it periodically as I post more stuff on here, but feel free to check it out! There’s a bunch of posts that I made ages ago that have been buried under unrelated posts here, so maybe you’ll find something interesting!

As of now, the folder includes grammar posts, vocabulary lists, and a few documents on Quebecois French. 

And if ever you want something that isn’t there, just ask :)

Well, now I want to start with a rainbow:) Rainbow is always something beautifull and positive. This is one of the symbols of happiness, I think. And colors are an important part of it!

We have one useful phrase to learn the colors of the rainbow: “Каждый охотник желает знать, где сидит фазан.” - Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting.
