Happy Croatian language learning!

about the author
Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you – I am glad you’re here! My
name is Shannon and I am the blogger/language lover/
adventurer behind Eurolinguiste.
Since, Eurolinguiste has become the place where I share my journey in language learn-
ing with others interested in pursuing something similar. It’s here that I document the tools
I use, my personal methodologies and progress, and tips for tackling a new language for
fellow language learners.
It’s also where I like to share my adventures, some of my favorite recipes, and the little bits
I learn about the cultures and histories behind the languages that I’m learning.
When I’m not studying language, I am a musician and a composer, I love to compose and
perform. And I love that my career often provides me with the opportunity to travel. Shame-
less plug: I have a few CDs out with my music. I also love to take photos, practice martial
arts, make jewelry, experiment with classic recipes, and scuba dive (something I haven’t
done in several years, but wish I still had time to do).
I speak French and English fluently (and constantly confuse the two), have dabbled in Ger-
man, Italian, and Arabic to various degrees, and I am currently working my way towards
communicating in Mandarin Chinese and Croatian.
