Recently I found a tweet that had a language learning challenge over 30 days that I wanted to try out: I decided to give it a go and see how it all pans out. A few French speaking people have been helping me along – most prefer to give their feedback through Direct Message as […]
What Did You Miss In March?
It’s been an interesting month where I continued with my French but also shared some work-related projects I’ve been doing related to virtual teambuilding activities, learning OBS and also lots of interesting books. Here’s what you may have missed. The Blogs Learning OBS (I had a lot of fun learning this tool and doing some […]
On Self-Critiquing
Yesterday I filmed a short book review about Nassim Nicholas Taleb on his book, Skin in the Game. Although it may look like I create the footage in the one go, usually it involves a lot of stops and starts where I wait until I get into some conversational flow in front of the camera […]
Qu’est-ce que j’ai fait cette semaine?
Learning to write French requires practice and lots of feedback. By doing writing a blog post in French and then seeking feedback from my French speaking network, I’m able to correct the written phrases. Here’s what I got up to this week. A BIG Merci to Rotana Ty (@rotanarotana) for this weeks corrections! Cette semaine […]
Working and Learning Out Loud
I have written a lot of transparent work and learning practices on this blog over the years so I thought I’d revisit the theme again. The reason for this was a recent Twitter conversation started by a question asked by Jayne Davids (@Jaynedavids) who is my ‘go to’ expert in my Personal Learning Network on […]
Update on Social Media
Early this year, I did a massive clean up and decluttering of both physical and online “stuff”. It was a cathartic experience to ditch a lot of things, clean out the garage as well as streamline all documents, files, photos and videos on the cloud. It had to be done and now I can progress […]
Learning OBS
I have finally gotten around to downloading OBS (the free streaming software) on both my Mac and PC. On the Mac, you need to do some extra things because you need to download additional software but it works like a dream on the PC. Some time ago, Darrell (@DarrellaaS) told me about OBS but I […]
What Did You Miss in February?
Thanks to the deletion of social media on my phone, the removal of notifications and a bit of insomnia thrown in, my mojo for writing, creativity and learning has come back! Yay! It’s been a MAD writing month with some creativity thrown in where I am now on a fictional travel adventure around France in […]
Qu’est-ce que j’ai fait cette semaine?
Big thank you to my friend Céline Schillinger who helped me out with the French corrections this week in purple. Big thank you to Kevin Le Vaillant once again who has helped me out this week in the blue writing. Learning to write French requires practice and lots of feedback. By doing this, I’m learning […]
Day 1: Virtual Tour of Les Hospices de Beaune
Last night my husband asks me, “how about a trip to Paris in November?” My reaction? I know that it’s highly unlikely we’ll be travelling anywhere internationally for the next two possibly up to five years, sadly. What he meant to ask me is that we buy a couple of tickets to go see the […]
