Why I'm doing a second year abroad

 Hello!

 I have written an article for Third Year Abroad about my rather complicated degree, the IPML (Integrated Professional Masters in Languages), and also about how I made the decision to do an extra year abroad.

 I hope you enjoy it, and that if you're facing a similar choice you find it helpful.

MLF15: Kirmen Uribe and Jesús Carrasco

 Hello!

 I'm very happy to be involved with Manchester Literature Festival for a third year. My first event was hearing Kirmen Uribe and Jesús Carrasco read at the Instituto Cervantes.

 Kirmen writes in Basque and Jesús in Castilian, so for me as a linguist it was a fascinating experience.

 I hope you enjoy my account of the event, which has been published on the Festival's Chapter and Verse blog.
