Who’s learning Mandarin?
Students from 22 universities across 14 countries gathered in a circle. One by one, they added their signatures to a banner that read, “I promise to speak only Chinese from today onward.” They spent nine weeks in Shanghai this summer, studying Mandarin and soaking up Chinese culture, as part of NYU Shanghai’s annual Summer Chinese...

Potential
At school I luxuriated in not trying very hard and doing alright anyway. Teachers called me "gifted" – a term that was, incredibly, written into education regulations at the time. They also called me lazy, insisting I had untapped potential if I would only apply myself. Now I'm thirty going on thirty-one, almost a decade into a career with which I have a fraught relationship. I want change, and to…

Well, we moved to Germany (we know!), so I've been correcting some of my gaps in recent German history by reading the lengthy Wikipedia page on [German reunification][1]. In terms of online life, that's the only real giveaway that I've moved in the real world. The rest of the anglophone media roar rolls along as before with two notable edits. I've completely cut out the very high volume Westminster insider…

First off, here's a [DJ set I liked][1]. Right now a lot of people are talking about leaving Twitter ([here's mine][2]). Many of those that go ahead with it and turning up in Mastodon ([here's mine][3]) and talking a big game about how the collapse of Twitter will beget a golden age for the decentralised internet. That's nice. I don't believe it's really going to be that simple, though. On…

First I have this amazing oral history of the production of certain aspects of the video game Red Alert 3. Specifically the story is about how this incredible cut scene, starring Tim Curry as a high camp Soviet general blasting off into space, came to be. It's astonishingly detailed and manages to go far beyond "pretty funny clip". It talks about how casting and producing these little fragments of video…

German is hard
I was always a bit cocky about languages. I got good marks in them at school and by the end of sixth form I felt I had a pretty good grasp of French. That felt like a lot in the context of semi-rural England where very, very few people learned and spoke a second language fluently.\ French faded because I was an idiot and didn't keep it up after I…

The feeling of away
I’ve been away from home for just over a week now. I’ve been in France. When I’m not in the UK I feel a lot less claustrophobic; I feel like I have such a wider range of choices to choose for my life. An advantage of this trip has been spending time with people who actually live in not-the-UK. I believe to some extent that people are the same everywhere…

The Académie Française
I was vaguely aware that the French language is basically policed by the Académie Française, but I'd never seen this statistic that really shows how small the base French vocabulary is. Aptly enough I saw it in this article about the French propensity to say... no. — The Culture Map by Erin Meyer via BBC
