Language Links I Love

A round up of the best language stories:

1. Being bilingual is attractive. According to online dating service Plenty of Fish's latest language study findings, Americans think it's sexy to speak another language. Which languages do you think took the top spots as sexiest languages in the world? See the answer here.

2. 5 unexpectedly helpful Croatian phrases for your upcoming holiday to Croatia. Samo malo is such a good phrase that is never in any of the phrase books! Classic post written by my bestie, Elaine Ritchel, of Sante Fe Art Tours.

3. Have you heard about the Inter-Slavic Language in the making by a Czech Linguist and Croatian Anthropologist? It makes sense when you realize that in geographic Europe (from Portugal to Ural) there are mostly Slavic languages speakers - about 250 million or 32, 3 percent of European populations. Creating a common pan-Slavic language would be especially helpful for Google translate fails that we see too often when translating Slavic languages.

4. 8 Reasons You Should Never Swim in the Adriatic - Not what you would expect! If you're interested in traveling to Croatia, my dearest friends Sarah and Ivan run Royal Croatian Tours and will help you plan and achieve your perfect trip!

5. For a laugh, even if you don't speak German, 19 Signs The German Language Is Just Trolling Us - So funny!

6. Dharni, a revolutionary young beatboxer shows you how to learn how to beatbox by simply learning a few Polish words. You've got to hear this to believe it!

hahaha I absolutely love this post! It's always so interesting to learn little gems about foreign languages and how people use them. Samo malo from that Croatian post is genius, it so simple that I bet no Croat would ever even consider teaching it and it make such a difference!

Also that Polish beatbox is unbelievable, hats down to Dharni for figuring that one out!

I was totally mesmerized by Dharni's video. It's so fun to learn about other people's cultures, languages, and hobbies.
