Travel - Switzerland’s invisible linguistic borders. It was one of the shortest train rides I had ever taken: just 10 minutes and one stop from the Swiss city of Neuchâtel.
Yet when I disembarked in the small municipality of Ins, everything seemed, somehow, different. At first, I couldn’t put my finger on it. Something about the architecture perhaps?

An introductory language course by John Okell Burmese by ear or Essential Myanmar is a systematically graded foundation course in modern colloquial Burmese, also known as Myanmar.
It aims to give you a confident and enjoyable start in speaking Burmese, focusing on what you are most likely to need when you visit Burma: “survival language” for cafés, taxis, shops, and so on, and “social language” for getting to know people and making friends. The primary content of the course is delivered by the audio files, with the text providing a reference point for refreshing your memory as you progress through the lessons. This balance offers several advantages: you can learn while you are walking or washing or travelling or driving; since you are hearing the new words and phrases rather than reading them, you achieve accurate pronunciation and oral comprehension from the start; and as you take a speaking part in the exercises and dialogues, you have active practice in talking.

Image copyright ANTHONY WALLACE/AFP/Getty Images When Hong Kong was handed back from the UK to China in 1997, only a quarter of the population spoke any Mandarin. Now, two decades later, that figure has nearly doubled. But even as people get better at communicating in Mandarin, also known as Putonghua, some in Hong Kong are losing interest, or even downright refusing to speak it. Chan Shui-duen, a professor of Chinese and Bilingual Studies at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said that among some of her students, speaking Putonghua can almost be taboo. "Especially among young people, the overall standard of Putonghua is rising," she said. This is because, for many, Putonghua has become an unwelcome reminder of the increasing "mainlandisation" of Hong Kong. Read more about Hong Kong since the handover: The social rejection of Putonghua has come as people question their Chinese identity, which has alarmed both the Hong Kong and mainland Chinese governments.
Language of success. Bien Chabacano. Just a few hours ago, I encountered a very interesting blog called Habla Chabacano. The said blog is about Cavite city and it's Chabacano. I found this amusing because I speak Chabacano de Zamboanga. As I read the posts in Habla Chabacano (which were partly in Chabacano), I quickly spotted the differences/similarities between the two Chabacanos.
First off, the Chavacano of Cavite looks more Spanish sounding than that of Zamboanga. The sentence structure is also closer to Spanish.
