A Mom's Year

Creating a comfortable life one moment at a time

February 18, 2011

Live the Language: Beijing

One of my favorite bloggers, Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom, has moved her family of six to France for a year. My middle-schooler would have a fit if we did that, so while it’s not in the cards for my family I’m enjoying living vicariously through hers.

Gabrielle posted a Live the Language video about Paris from the EF Language School. It made me want to pack a suitcase and hop a plane right now. I loved the Paris video but then saw that there’s also one for Beijing. The next time we visit Beijing I want to be able to say more than “nihao” (hello) and “xie xie” (thank you). Maybe this will help. There are videos for London and Barcelona, too. Enjoy!

    Hello! Did you see that this weekend we posted 3 more films in the same series, from Sydney, Vancouver and Los Angeles? They were produced by the same creative team as the first films.

    Check them out at http://www.ef.com/livethelanguage – or if you prefer Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/groups/livethelanguage/videos

Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a long-time writer and editor from Minnesota surprised to find myself on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sharing this adventure with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I “published” my first newsletter when I was nine, and I’ve loved sharing ideas, stories, and information ever since. I hope you find something here to inspire you and help you create a comfortable, cozy life.

Special Olympics athletes and staff had the honor of marching. Such an exciting day, and I got to meet actor Chris Burke who played Corky Thatcher on “Life Goes On.”
