    Lisa Gerard gives us some insider knowledge on Boston, Massachusetts...

    Known as the “Capital of New England,” Boston, Massachusetts, is the largest city in New England and one of the oldest cities in the United States.  I began my college career in Boston, and I can honestly report that there is nothing quite like it.

    On the road: Books to take in your suitcase

    Friday, 13 August 2010
    You’ve packed your bag full of clothes, you’ve got your swimsuit and suncream (or overcoat depending on where you’re going), laptop and favourite DVDs, your camera and your passport. You’re all ready for your year abroad. But you feel something may be missing... You still need to pack your books. From proper bookworms to casual readers of the latest best-seller, everyone likes to take a book with them when they go away. I love travel, and I love books, so here are my top 5 books that are about travelling, or that I discovered while on my year abroad...

    Culture Shock: USA

    Wednesday, 25 August 2010
    Tilly Ingleby studied in Baltimore for a year, as part of her degree course at Swansea University. Here's her account of how to deal with culture shock and Americana...

    If you’re about to embark on a year in the States, I’d like to say a big well done to you for having the guts to do it, and to tell any sceptics you have to sod off. When people found out I was studying in America I could see the snobbery in their reaction and it’s infuriating.

    Austin

    Friday, 20 August 2010

    Lisa Gerard gives us her views and advice on going to Austin, Texas, for the year abroad.

    Oh, Austin, where do I begin? Austin is a fantastic city; it’s growing too quickly, becoming a little too popular, but it's all part of the charm. It has dedicated, passionate residents ranging from students to artists to businessmen. An anomaly within Texas, Austin is extremely liberal, free-spirited, and a hotbed for innovative thinkers and businesses.

    Learning a new language...every year!

    Thursday, 12 August 2010
    I've always been interested in languages. By high school graduation I spoke Spanish, German, French, and Filipino. I started my blog to answer questions about how I learn languages, and I chose "fluent every year" as a fun goal with a unique identity. It turns out, it's already more popular than I ever expected, and I'm still just getting started!

    Signposting around the world: Translation boo-boos

    Wednesday, 28 July 2010
    Going off on a year abroad (or just holidaying somewhere outside of the UK) can prove to be quite a shock to the system, with gratuitous translations thrown left, right and centre onto corrugated metal. Signposts, shop names and toilet etiquette have all been given some dodgy translations abroad, and we only felt it was just to dedicate a whole article to such gems as these...And there was this one time, in band camp...
