free information for the general public

Whenever I publish a new edition of the Free Language Letter I re-publish it here for many reasons, mainly to bring attention to the Free Language website, but also to offer subscribers here a quick summary of the content I am researching and producing at Free Language. Finally, I like to give people interested in living a mobile lifestyle the heads up about where to find good free and commercial resources for preparing a journey through a country that speaks a language or languages that they do not speak. One of the best ways to embrace a new culture is through its language - the language lets you access the people, and the people show you the culture. Something like that.

Anyway, here goes...

Every now and again I get the time and am in the right space to send out a Free Language Letter. That happened two days ago for the seventh time.

This is exciting for me as I launch Hip to the Trip. One of my main focuses with HT3 is foreign languages and foreign language learning. I am using several websites in conjunction with this one to bring together the various themes that pervade in my life.

The travel plans for HT3 serve as a background for other endeavors and research projects that each Brent and I will be collectively or single-handedly working on. Free Language and Freestyle Language are two examples of projects I will be working on. Conscious Reggae is on of Brent's projects, and one that he will be collecting data for in every country he visits. Freely Renewable is a project we are collectively building.

So without further ado...
