They say if at first you don't succeed try, try again. Well here I am trying again and seeking your support. I am fundraising to build an app I believe will be more than useful in reaching and connecting language learners, wannabee learners, tutors, game creators and everything else that's relevant to the language community on one functional and easy to use platform.
The Braun Pages (pronounced 'brown') is my latest project I hope to bring to fruition with professional team I have lined up and your generous support. Whether you're a business or individual, you can greatly benefit from The Brown Pages. It will be the fastest, easiest and most convenient way of sharing and promoting your language events and services.
Thank you for your support. Please share generously.

Over the last few months I've had to come to terms with the utter failure at my first attempt at launching a language related business. I say first as I'll try again.
I took sometime to reboot and refocus on a different path. My original business was meant to facilitate regular in real life language gatherings and events in the community.
I've been developing an app to help all around the world do just that. Something I think is really needed.
Talk soon.

I really hate when people are quick to defend the sreaight up laziness of others with the "limited resources" excuse.

I know very well what that is actually like yet I found a way to learn a language by sunlight, candlelight & a kerosene lamp. .
If you look closely you'll see a blue piece sticking out of the sand, that was my water source. (Though I didn't drink from it.) My toilet was the bucket you see in the corner. (I can't very well go out in the middle of the night or rush over to the neighbor's house and demand to be let in.) I'm sorry I don't have a video of the trek I had to take to get to internet.

This was not the worst situation in the world bjt I imagine it's pretty close to what is meant by "limited resources". So I say to you all, at least towards me, spare me the crap, I've walked miles in the shoes of one with limited resources. .

How old were you when you learned that Disney made different versions of their songs for France (also the international crowd) and Quebec? No wonder I keep getting asked if many basic words and phrases are used in Quebec. explains a lot.

Loving the language struggle

I’m an avid language enthusiast whose goal is to help build a multicultural world.

The internet has brought us closer to each other and allowed us to pick up valuable skills at the click of a mouse or tap of an icon. Language has since been one the fastest growing sector. With tons of very low cost and free resources, anyone can give themselves a valuable life skill.

Language learning is not longer just for the elite and I plan to take full advantage of that. I have studied over 17 languages so far including Swedish, Irish, ASL and Portuguese to name a few. My native language is English and I’ve attended French school all my life. This is because I grew up in Montreal, Quebec. The first language I’ve learned, and I consider myself fluent in, is Spanish. My Russian and German should be better but I can get by. I do plan of taking proper classes for those two at this point.

I’m working on a project I like to call FRANGLACATION. Unlike 98% of the resources available, Franglacation is not about teaching you French but rather helping you use French. I’ve come to realize that learning is not the issue for most but rather using the language. Through natural, interactive conversations on a variety of topics and small group sizes of no more than 5 people, the goal is to get you speaking and using what you’ve learned in a natural, social way.
