Bloggin' Nomads is the official blog of the international brand for the modern nomad, Casa di Culture.
Casa di Culture represents a segment of society that considers the world a meeting place, music a language and culture a religion. This blog is the voice of that movement.
We want to hear from you! Let us feature you in our Wednesday Global Nomad section and let everyone hear about the good work you do!
Check out this interesting article in the New York Times about the ever evolving French language.

Today was my first tandem language lesson where I learned Guānhuà, or Mandarin. I spent my lunch break with a student from Taiwan who taught me introductory Mandarin in exchange for Italian lessons.
I honestly did not have much faith in my progress before starting, but soon realized the grammar and vocabulary were easy, it’s just the pronunciation that can be challenging.
If you are interested in learning Mandarin or any other foreign language now is the opportunity to do so. There’s a plethora of free online resources, as well as foreign films, movies and free language exchanges such as tandems.
