Polyglot Conference Daily Vlogs (updated)

By Gareth Leave a Comment

Pozdravljeni iz Ljubljane!  Greetings from Ljubljana! I’m in the Slovene capital for this year’s Polyglot Conference.  It was great to be a speaker at the Conference’s Language Learning Event the day before the Conference weekend.  That evening, Friday, there was a “Welcome” reception.  Day One of the Conference itself was Saturday and we had another full day of talks, workshops, socialising and language practice on Sunday.

On the opening Friday evening, I blew the dust of my camera and started vlogging the event.

Here are the resultant vlogs from the Opening Evening, Day One and Day Two.

The day after the Conference, I found a (not so) quiet cafĂ© and sat down to gather my thoughts together about the event in the round and some of the talks that I heard.  That’s the “Takeaways” video right down at the bottom of this page.  There, the focus is the substance and the speakers. The vlogs, though, are all about the atmosphere and the other Conference-goers.  Enjoy!
