So here it is, a statement of intent. My good lady wife and I have spoken for a while of potentially moving abroad for a bit. It's still not something we are certain about, and yet may be all pie in the sky, but after a number of these conversations we decided that if we were to go anywhere it would probably be Germany.
Of course one thing that would make living Germany a harder task than say Australia or Canada (for example) is the language. It's different, you see. And thus if this is ever to become more than a pipe dream, the language barrier will need to be broken.
So why the blog? Such a task takes a motivation that can't always be achieved by telling yourself 'I must do this'. So I've decided to write about it, hoping at the shame of having nothing to write about will force me to re-double my efforts should I get lazy. There is a more altruistic edge to writing about this plan too. There are a huge number of free resources online to aid in any language-learning journey. I hope that over time I can document and review a number of these resources, as well as providing a few tips (should I encounter any) for any one else that may be attempting the same thing.
That is all for another time though. For now, thanks for reading.
