As part of the Langblr Activation Challenge, here are some of the amazing language and linguistics blogs that I follow and have learned so much from over the past months. 

First off, shoutouts to @tealingual - truly a gem in the langblr community - for creating this challenge and to @nordic-language-love, who is one of the reasons I created a langblr in the first place. Hope to be as fluent in Norwegian as her someday!

Hello everyone! My name is Mack, I am 22 and just finished my joint honours degree in English Language and Linguistics and Hispanic Studies.

My pronouns in English are They/Them but in Spanish and German I accept all pronouns.

I am fluent in German (native language) and English and intermediate/advanced level in Spanish. I also took some classes in Latin and Portuguese in school and uni.

My main focus this year is Romanian because I am participating in the kulturweit initiative and moving to Romania for a year. I am also planning on dabbling a little in Hungarian because I'm moving to a city close to the Hungarian border.

Otherwise I'm mostly interested in Romance languages, Jewish languages, Hindustani and, linguistically, in indigenous languages of the Americas (especially the Pacific Northwest) . Recently I've also been really interested in Swedish, Finnish and some other languages. So on my blog you'll find a wild mix of languages, linguistics, culture etc.

I am also queer and neurodivergent and I have a sideblog for fandom, meme and special interest things @himbo-mulder

Week 2: Promote other langblrs

As my blog is solely dedicated to Swedish, I will therefore only recommend blogs about learning Swedish or Swedish culture.

Active blogs I follow;

@tealingual

@langfafflr

@mediocrelanguagelearner

@underligbesynnerlig

@linguenuvolose

Non-active blogs I use as resources;

@polyglotswede

@organizedstudy

@svensklangblr

@learn-swedish

promote other langblrs!!

Hi I'm Lily. I am from Australia, but I live in Finland. My native language is English, and my target language is Finnish.

I've been studying Finnish for about 4 years, but only in a serious sense since I moved to Finland 2 years ago. It's hard for me to access how well I speak Finnish, but I estimate I am conversational/advanced (B2 level) and I hope to still improve from here.

I don't speak or study any other languages, but have a general interest in languages and particularly interesting and note-worthy language and grammar features. This is an interest acquired solely through studying Finnish, which I feel has also been a reasonably big learning experience regarding my native language as well.

Week one is introduction. Hello, folks! My name is Will, I live in English-speaking Canada, and my main target language is German, mainly because of family. My other target language is French, because Canada. (Sometimes I encounter non-Canadians who think that every Canadian is perfectly fluent in English and French—although I think this is an older stereotype—and it always makes me laugh. Walk into a store where I live speaking French and the poor shop assistants will look at you like deer in headlights. Anyway.)

I'm genderqueer and use they/them pronouns in English, and both er and sie pronouns in German and il and elle in French. My favourite colour is red. My favourite music is currently the Everly Brothers, Nina Simone, and Pomme. I really enjoy creative writing (which one might be able to glean from my original posts, haha), and sewing. I play DnD sometimes too. And I love shoes. My first post on this blog was an intro post, so if anyone feels like scrolling back a ways, you can have a look at that!

Week 1: Introduce Yourself

My name is Marta (she/her), and I'm almost 21 years old. I’m Spanish and have lived most of my life in a town near Madrid, the capital city. I’m studying International Relations.

Spanish is my native language, and I also speak English, French, German, and Catalan. I am self-studying Russian and learning Mandarin at university.
