We took a bit of a break at the end of 2018, but we're back with a year in review. We take a look behind the scenes of Silly Linguistics. How did I plans for 2018 work out? Why did I stop working on the comic? What are Mike's thoughts on running the Silly Linguistics facebook page? We discuss this and more on this episode of Silly Linguistics

GenreTalks is a new feature on the Silly Linguistics podcast where we talk about cultural points in order to get a clearer understanding of culture around us.

I talk to Mike Simpson about writing for Silly Linguistics, online media and also taking over the hosting chair of the podcast,

I talk language learning, language media and all sorts of other language stuff with Richard Simcott

I speak to Timothy Patrick Snyder. He writes the Old English lessons for Silly Linguistics and also runs the Eald Englisc page on Facebook. We talk about Old English, making memes in old languages and language media.

Wow! This turned out to be way longer than I thought it would be, but the whole chat was awesome so I just left it all in. Get drink, get a snack, sit back and enjoy the chat

I ask Nikolay Nikolov a bunch of language related questions. The questions are grouped into easy, medium and hard questions. Play along and see how many you can get.

I talk with Ignacio about the origin of language and also ask "What is language" and how does it differ from what animals do to communicate.

I ask a series of increasingly difficult language related questions to Erik from Camp Netherside and see how many he can get right. We also discuss the questions and have a bit of a chat at the end of the quiz.

I speak to the creator and host of the History of English Podcast, Kevin Stroud and talk to him about why he decided to make a podcast and how we went about doing it.

I talk to Ignacio Bergkamp who is an English teacher to Spanish native speakers. I talk about what his life is like as an English teacher and what sorts of problems he runs into as a language teacher and how his job has affected his language life.

We discuss how we got into languages, which languages we have learned, and how we went about learning them. We then discuss some of the many ways dialects of a language can differ from one another.

We discuss related languages, from the Scandanavian languages, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese, to Arabic's groups of dialects to Chinese languages.
