Barcelona apartment - Unlike other accommodation options you and your family have the opportunity to feel part of the city and also enjoy a unique place for relax. Stay comfortable in one of Europe’s most breathtaking cities. Renting an apartment is also ideal if you are traveling with children or in a large group. People are so tired staying at hotels and has restricted schedules for meals and city tours, that they are now planning to stay in rental apartments.

Good article indeed! Just to share with you, I have been through another great high school exchange programs. This year there were 473 nominated blogs from 26 different countries in four categories.

I'm just about to start learning Japanese again so this list is awesome! It's great to have all these blogs in one place! When I last tried learning Japanese, the internet was the last place I'd look for tools and resources.... I have to study abroad while I'm traveling so it's a real pain to carry heavy books around.

Hello. I thought I'd include my site as well. I run a site about language learning called "I Kinda Like Languages" which you can find at http://www.ikindalikelanguages.com and I also have a blog at http://www.ikindalikelanguages.com/blog/ and well, we have actual courses(!), learning tips and lots of other stuff so I thought your readers might perhaps find it interesting and relevant to the topic.

Otherwise, a good list. I have subscribed my RSS reader to some of the blogs in it.

This is an excellent resource for language buffs! Great list.

I have a site which may be useful to other language enthusiasts.

I run a website called Leximo, and its a Multilingual User Collaborated Dictionary.

You can find information on Leximo's vision by reading the Leximo Dictionary Manifesto.

Here is the link info for my site:

Hi! Perhaps I'm missing something or just being thick - but apart from Omniglot which is great, I don't recognise any of the other blogs! Are they all US based ones?

There are a great number of excellent language learning bloggers that I could name in the UK and Australia that really should be here. The title is misleading therefore - it's not representative of the blogosphere!

Having said that, feel free to correct me! And i will definitely be checking out some of the above blogs to expand my reading - why don't you check out the left hand side of my blog (http://lisibo.blogspot.com) where there's a list of many of the excellent language bloggers I follow such as José Picardo, Joe Dale, Adam Sutcliffe, Lynne Horn, Isabelle Jones, Jess McCulloch, Helena Butterfield, Alex Blagona, Andrew Jeppeson, Jo Rhys-Jones, Chris Fuller and so on!!

Er, I meant to say, "...blatantly wrong statements and assumptions about language were allowed to stand uncorrected."

There is absolutely no way that Tim Ferriss belongs in this list. Not only does he rarely blog about language issues (while many other bloggers do so primarily), but when he does, he often makes trite, misguided observations about language that are either incorrect, tone-deaf, or severely lacking factual basis. He is not a linguist and he shouldn't pretend to be one. His post on "How to learn (but not master) any language in 1 hour" was egregiously bad. It was frustrating to read, and I was downright infuriated when I got to the comments, which were admittedly moderated, while blatantly wrong statements and assumptions about language were allowed to stand.

I can't imagine that very many linguists or language lovers could get behind him as a credible voice in the field, especially if his posts about language are any indication.

And what about Language Log? I can't think of a more language-focused blog written by a higher-caliber group of professionals than those folks!

I have no affiliation positive or negative with either Tim Ferriss or any of the folks at Language Log. Just sayin'...

Than you for the blog.
I have taught.
I seem to be making some time pursue interests via blogs.
I'm heading for "Free Language" now.
Free sounds goon

@ Nathan, comment 11 - seconded!
Perhaps because they're not strictly
"people who are blogging on the subject of LEARNING languages"??
But no less so, than, say, Language Hat. And if, say, #13, Dr Goodwood's Language Blog, is "More linguistics than foreign language learning" too, then, yes, where on earth is Language Log? It's my number 1.

Can I put in a word for Esperanto as well.

I suggest not because it is now recognised as a living language - eight British MP's have nominated Esperanto for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, for example - but because it has great propaedeutic values.

That's a fair comment Ole. I probably should have stated that it was only English language blogs. I came across a number of good-looking language blogs that weren't in English but given my relatively non-polyglotism (I'm sure that's *not* a word) I wasn't able to adequately evaluate them.

Funny how all the "Top 21 language bloggers on the web" are in English. Everybody's language? Or maybe a somewhat more modest "Top 21 English language bloggers on the web" would have been more appropriate?

There is an excellent method to learn languages that I stumbled upon a couple of years ago. Basically the site teaches a lot of conversations that you would most likely use if you were to go to that country or interact with native speakers. It does teach a lot of grammar for those that want it, but again its main method is to show how natives would say something in any particular situation. Then it just becomes a game of reciting the correct response to the right question. That's really all language is anyway. We just recite phrases that we've heard all our lives, but recite them to the right questions or comments. Check it out at http://www.learn-podcast-spanish.com

Congratulations to all of the blogs showcased!

I'd like to mention www.spanish-lesson-plans-for-children.blogspot.com. It's about a mom who wishes to give her children the gift of knowing more languages than just English. Being that she and her husband are not from Spanish-speaking families, she shares her trials & tribulations of getting the two languages to flow!

Thanks!
