I had another blog I think only my mother read, but this is the first blog entry on my own site.

 

It is a lovely early spring day in Cape Town and I had this odd desire to kick off my shoes and go frolicking in the hills like Maria in the Sound of Music. But I had a socio-linguistic seminar to get to – the famous (relatively speaking, of course) Tove Skutnabb-Kangas came to speak to us. Apparently monolingualism is an illness. True, story! Well, that’s all I remembered after the two and a half hour session…

 

So there was no time for spinning around and singing and rolling down hills. Unfortunately.
