I’ve started curating all the information I can find on the topic of language, language learning, and bilingualism into a
Flipboard. Flipboard is great for reading content on your iPad without any clutter or interference from advertisements and distractions.
There is a lot of information out there (I’ve found 575 articles in the last year alone), and there is a lot of repetition and there is a lot of nonsense, but plenty of gems as well. Published “as it comes” and up to the reader to educate themselves and separate the hype from the reality.

I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.
