This year I predicted would be full of changes, and one came about that has surprised me and invigorated the modes of expression of theLingoGuy. From the tender age of 17 – 19 I was in an art studio for my General National Diploma in Art and Design, and recently spoke to one of my […]
Never in my classroom – dyslexia and disinformation
Recently I have become aware just how badly some people view dyslexia. Having worked with some guys in the UK and experiencing being a mentor to some clients at the moment, let’s explode some myths, shall we – #1 People with dyslexia cannot write properly. This is such mistaken thinking it hurts to even start to […]
Geek or Nerd? How absurd! – took a bite back of the Apple
You may recall that I was a 3 OS guy awhile ago. This was more about money and tools for the job. This has changed yet again, due to necessity and loyalty. I am no longer a Linux user and miss it somewhat. Especially as you need to be a right geek to use one […]
Never in my classroom- half closing the draw on my chalk set
My career path has been somewhat you could say meandering, or I chop and change. This best suits me as I need to reinvent and often take stock to get the most out of life. Chop off the deadwood you could say, or know when to give up the ghost cause something has been haunting […]
More European – untrained ears & sounding weird
As I am playful with my words, this means I am a mish-mash of accents and phraseology. Recently I have had some odd observations that I thought I would share. Firstly to a South African ear I sound German, apparently. This is no insult and no surprise as I do have an accent no way near […]

Geek or Nerd – start of the footie fight back

RB Leipsch and the Rams are my two teams I follow the most, and with both the passions of their prevailing & pitfalls. Macca & Tunni strike back Macca is doing really well with the […]
More European – what I would miss from Leipsch?
As promised a bit of an insight into what I think I would miss if I were to go back to the UK. I have lived in Leipzig for well over a decade now and see this as I said as my home. This is the place I have settled and set down some roots […]
More European – UK missing you, well kinda!
Like a lot of ex-pats I see England as my vacation land now, but lots of the locals here ask me if I miss home. Not oodles, but here be a few things I do find it hard to replace after over a decade in the Europe of the East. With the youtube age my […]
Create5 cooking – home made bread, und Bäckerei
Back in the day my Mum made her own bread, and a nose memory that lingers to this day is the kitchen and corridor filling with the smell of fresh loaves, wafting through the family home. Bread making is someat that we have lost in that fight for time, & money. Losing what is a […]
