Top 100 Language Lovers 2011 competition starts today – Nominate your favorite!

May 3rd, 2011 | By | Category: Language Lovers Toplist

UPDATE: Nominations are closed. Voting has started!

After the great success of the last three editions of our Top 100 Language Blogs competition (results for 2008, 2009, 2010), the bab.la language portal and Lexiophiles language blog are announcing this year's contest with some minor changes: the Top 100 Language Lovers 2011 competition.

Passion for languages is still the protagonist of the competition but this year we are also taking Facebook pages and twitterers into consideration, hence the new title :)

As always, we need your help to find the best of the best for the following categories:
1. Language Learning Blogs (blogs about language learning & teaching)
2. Language Professionals Blogs (blogs from translators, interpreters etc. on the professional usage of languages)
3. Language Facebook Pages (Facebook pages about language, language learning etc.)
4. Language Twitterers (Twitter accounts focused on language, language learning etc.)

The nominations for the Top 100 Language Lovers 2011 competition are open until May 16th, 23:59 hours German time. Nominate your favorite Blogs, Facebook Pages and Twitter Accounts by sending an e-mail with the URL to giulia (at) bab (dot) la or just leave a comment below.

There are no strict boundaries for your nominations: as long as passion for languages is involved, the blog or Facebook page or Twitter account you have in mind fits into our competition! Just to give you an idea, main topics could be about tips on how to learn a language, language teaching, commenting on translations, strategies for interpreters etc.

Hurry up, the deadline to nominate your favorites is Monday May 16th! After the nomination phase, you will be able to give your vote to most promising for each category. The final ranking will be based half on the users' votes and half on our internal ranking (more information on the ranking criteria here). Results will be made public on June 1st. If you’d like to know more about how the competition is run, please read our how the competition works article. If you have any further questions, just ask giulia (at) bab (dot) la.

The official hash tag is #tll11.

Stay tuned!

    In the Language Learning Blogs category I would like to recommend the “buurtaal” blog of Alexandra Kleijn, which is about the differences between German and Dutch language (and culture). The main language of the blog is German:

    http://www.buurtaal.de/blog

  2. Benny the Irish polyglot May 3rd, 2011 16:26 :

    Great initiative to expand this to not just blogs! May I also suggest you take Youtube channels into consideration? I’d like to nominate Moses McCormick for that if you do: Username laoshu505000

    There are a lot of excellent language lovers on Youtube that don’t follow other social networking sites and they could really add to some excellent nominees!

    My favourite for the categories you suggested are as follows:
    Twitter: @ajatt (His blog his great, but his tweets are exceptionally inspirational for any language learner, not just for Japanese)
    Blogs: Most of those already in there last year; if I think of new ones I’ve been enjoying since then I’ll be sure to drop the suggestion!

  3. Z May 3rd, 2011 17:57 :

    TWITTER: @joedale Joe Dale’s MFL & MFL ICT tweets are OUTSTANDING and have given me so many ideas for my own language teaching.

  11. Francesca May 3rd, 2011 23:19 :

    Maybe the Language Professionals should be split into two categories – English and Other Languages.
    This would give more visibility to some great blogs that otherwise have no chance “against” English.

    Most of my favourite blogs have already been nominated in the past, I suggest that the top ten from each category are automatically added to this year’s longlist.

    Thanks,

    Francesca

    Hi Traducteur,

    we posted a comment on your blog only because we could not find any other way of contacting you. By the way, nominations can be sent also via private email, that is why not every blog, Facebook page and Twitter account appears on this page.

    Cheers,
    Giulia

    2nd category: “La stanza del traduttore” http://lastanzadeltraduttore.wordpress.com/: (in Italian), it is a blog in which translators can describe the rooms in which they work. Very poetic and delicate!

    I would like to nominate David Snopek’s blog http://www.linguatrek.com/

    This blog is fantastic, it contains lots of videos and is inspirational because you can watch David’s progress with his language, and he offers lots of advice and encouragement. His goals are realistic, and he doesn’t force the buying of any e-book down your throat at every chance. He is also extremely enthustiatic and passionate about what he does, and this comes across in his posts and videos.

  122. Carla May 16th, 2011 15:16 :

    @ATGTranslations always has great language news. Very consistent. Also has a new promising blog about language and culture: http://www.linguafrancaweekly.com.

    Dear Katherina, dear Julie,
    Thank you very much for your nominations! Unfortunately, they came in a bit too late (after May 16th, 23:59 hours German time) and therefore cannot be included in this year’s list but we saved the URLs and will make sure to include them next year!

    Dear Mario,
    Thank you very much for your comment. Your nomination also came in a bit too late but the blog you nominated had already been on our list because of its participation in the previous editions of our competition so it is included!

    Thank you so much for all the comments! The nomination phase is officially closed!
    Best wishes,
    Giulia

    Hi

    I don’t see Coffee Break Spanish on here, but if it was, I would vote for them. It’s an excellent teaching method that they have. You feel like you’re learning, but not in a stressful way.
