The Top 21 Language Bloggers on the Web

Posted on 19. Jun, 2008 by reg in Education, ShoutOuts, eduFire News

Language BloggersBeen scanning the blogosphere lately looking for people who are blogging on the subject of learning languages. There aren’t a *ton* of them but I have come across some really good blogs. So, here we go, in no particular order, with the Top 21 Language Bloggers on the Web. And I know I’m leaving some people out…my apologies in advance! Feel free to add others in the comments! :)

#1 – Omniglot – This blog covers a wide spectrum of languages and offers up fun stuff like Mystery Language competitions and Words of the Day. If you’re passionate about languages in general (vs. simply looking to learn one particular language) this one’s a must-read/must-subscribe.

#2 – ForeignLanguageBlog.com – This appropriately named blog focuses on a variety of aspects of language learning including stuff like intensive learning and raising bilingual children. This blog updates frequently and is full of lots of interesting language-related links.

#3 – Language Hat – Language Hat is definitely one of the smartest language-related blogs you’ll find. There’s a great community of people reading and commenting on the blog as you can see evidence of here. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something a bit more academic.

#4 – Free Language – If you’re one of those people who can never have too many resources or links in your quest to learn than this one’s perfect for you. By far one of the best collection of language-related learning links on the web as you can witness here and here.

#5 – Babelhut – Want to know how to set up a Spanish keyboard in Vista? Looking for insight into study habits for Japanese? You’ve come to the right place. Babelhut hasn’t been around very long but I like what I see so far!

#6 – Confessions of a Language Addict – Perhaps the most basic blog design ever but don’t let that fool you. There’s some great content here. For example, take a look at these recent posts on language immersion and the best language learning methods. Well worth the read.

#7 – Tower of Confusion – I love people who approach languages with the same intensity that Kevin Garnett approaches basketball. The author of Tower of Confusion definitely fits the bill. Check out recent posts on Migration to Anki and Shadowing Alone. Good stuff…

#8 – The Linguist on Language – Steve Kauffman is one of the most well-known language bloggers. He’s the author of The Linguist and has developed LingQ, a very cool language learning system. Given Steve’s deep expertise on language learning this is a good one to keep tabs on.

#9 – Polyglot To Be – Polyglot To Be is an interesting look at multiple ways to learn languages ranging from mnemonics to context reading. Seeing the variety of approaches and languages up close and personal is great…language learning voyeurism at its best!

#10 – Language Study Blog @ Suite101.com – You can think of Suite101.com as kinda like About.com. Their Language Study Blog is very well done. For example, check out this article on learning languages with an iPod.

#11 – Learn Spanish with Tomísimo – If you’re learning how to speak Spanish this one’s a must read. While not every post has to do specifically with learning the language for the most part there’s a high signal-to-noise ratio here and some fresh ideas (e.g., 6 Reasons You Should Talk to Strangers in Spanish). Two thumbs up from this end!

#12 – Behind the Curtain – Stuart Jay Raj is the self-proclaimed “Language Guy” (interesting background article here). He backs it up with some very solid content and resources on his website. What can we say…the guys knows his stuff!

#13 – Dr. Goodword’s Language Blog – More linguistics than foreign language learning, Dr. Goodword is interesting to follow nonetheless. Reading this blog gives you an increased sense of appreciation for the richness of language (e.g., this recent post on rapeseed oil) which is an important thing for all aspiring polyglots to have.

#14 – Learning Spanish Blog – Another must-read if you’re learning Spanish, I’ve been very impressed with this blog. Totally awesome links, reviews and more. Plus, if you really want you can learn to swear in Spanish. ;)

#15 – Italian Language, Grammar and Usage Resource – Since I’ve offered up a couple of Spanish-specific blogs I’d be remiss to ignore my Italian friends. This blog has a ton of Italian lessons and even an opportunity to follow their word of the day via Twitter. Gotta love technology huh?!

#16 – Learn Japanese – One fo the best Japanese learning blogs on the Net, Learn Japanese is chock full of helpful hints on subjects ranging from flashcard usage to whether or not to take Japanese classes. A must-have for all of you learning Japanese. (UPDATE: The author of the blog has moved it to here.)

#17 – Keith’s Voice on Extreme Language Learning – Extreme Language Learning?! I like it. Posts on stuff like the Iversen Method and using YouTube to learn languages make this blog worth checking out, especially if you’re learning Kanji.

#18 – The Four Hour Workweek – This one’s a bit of a cheat because most of Tim Ferriss’s posts *aren’t* about learning languages but the ones he has posted (e.g., How to Learn (But Not Master) Any Language in 1 Hour) are very interesting and the comments tend to be well worth the read as well. Let’s hope Tim posts more on language learning in the future!

#19 – The Language Chronicle – Very good yet very broad. Everything from Zulu to Hebrew to Ahmaric can be found here. Lots of links here and other interesting stuff. This is a good blog to put in your feedreader and scan from time to time.

#20 – The Linguist Blogger – Not to be confused with #8 on our list, The Linguist Blogger is a solid collection of articles and links. It’s a blog that seems to be picking up a lot of steam, both in terms of quality and quantity of posts as well as comment activity. If this was a Billboard chart The Linguist Blogger would have a bullet by it. :)

#21 – All Japanese All The Time Dot Com – This one almost didn’t make the list but a couple of our commenters pointed out what a great blog this and upon further review it definitely deserves to make the list. Khatzumoto has a very inspirational story, learning Japanese in all of 18 months. I think you’ll definitely dig this one.

Thanks for bearing with me through all 21 and I hope you find these helpful. Also, don’t forget to check out and subscribe to our Resources Blog in addition to this blog. And as I mentioned before, please post comments and tell me about all the great language learning I missed!

  • 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.

  • Mike

    It amazing to see an article with summary of all the world's best language bloggers at one place.By the way II have came across a good website to learn an indian language Hindi.
    Given the link below, hope it helps somebody.

    http://www.ISpeakHindi.com

  • 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... and I also have a blog at http://www.ikindalikelanguages... 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!!

  • Great bloggers, and here's our blog: the Chinese in English, ifgogo dot com ^_^

  • This is an awesome list.

  • Cool! I was searching for Language blogs and came across your list: very useful. Thanks!

  • Thanks for the mention!

  • 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

  • plutarch

    @ 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.

  • Brian_Barker

    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.

    You can check detail on http://www.lernu.net

  • reg

    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?

  • we are leaving some people out??

  • 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-spani...

  • I completely agree with you Aaron. People want to learn Spanish quickly for a wide array of reasons. Whether you will be traveling out of the country, are moving, or simply want to become more versatile for your job, it is extremely beneficial to be able to speak another language.

    Learning Spanish quickly can be an overwhelming and rather disappointing process if you do not approach it the right way. It can be rather difficult to pick up without the proper materials and assistance. Fortunately Rocket Spanish claims it can help you speak Spanish confidently and naturally in just eight weeks. It has an audio course, a vocabulary and software game and it also includes support from a Spanish teacher.
    With the help of Rocket Spanish you can follow an interactive course that is practical and will allow you to discover how to speak in virtually any circumstance. Not only will you pick up another language, but you will do so quickly, easily and effectively. You will be on your way to becoming bilingual in no time.

  • Congratulations to all of the blogs showcased!

    I'd like to mention www.spanish-lesson-plans-for-c.... 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!

  • Did I miss Language Log? Should be in the top five, if not top three.

  • You'll find another language blog at verbmall.blogspot.com

    Short columns are posted twice a week on Wordmall, and many of the ideas come from my radio program on language, Words to the Wise Tuesdays, 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. EST

  • I'm humbled by the mention :) Thanks again. It's good to see an active and flourishing interest in language learning.

  • Thanks for mentioning Free Language! i just sent some love back:

    All the best to eduFire and language learners around the Web!

  • Good to see Omniglot and Language Hat in the top 3. They truly deserve it.

  • YES i agree with you  "Good to see Omniglot and Language Hat in the top 3"

  • Thank you you can get more please check this thread once in a week thank you.

  • Thanks for including Suite 101! I've only been at this a few months, so even more exciting than being on your list (a huge honor), is the list itself. What an incredible resource. I can't wait to check out all these language blogs.

  • reg

    @ Jim and Thomas - You guys were so right. Great blog! We've now made it the "Top 21" and added AJATT to the list. Good catch. :)

  • I'm honored to be included in this list, especially since that groups me with such excellent linguists and bloggers who I already greatly respect.

  • I agree with you .The bloggers is funny

  • Thanks for the link! I'm happy to see we made the cut! :)

    BTW, I second Jim's comment about AJATT. Very good blog, with a very wide audience too.

  • since as you wish, thank you for sharing your opinion about the topic.

  • Jim

    Great list, but serious omission!!

    Where is All Japanese All the Time Dot Com?

    Khatzumoto is definitely one of the most inspirational language-learning bloggers out there. AJATT would go straight to the top of my list.

  • I'm honored to be included in this list, especially since that groups me with such excellent linguists and bloggers who I already greatly respect.
