  1. Blīðe Cristesmæssan ond glæd nīwe gēar from The Wordhord! 🌲🕯️
    ​For the language enthusiasts: "Blīðe" (blithe) meant joyous or kind, and "glæd" (glad) carried meanings of brightness and shining in Old English. Wishing you all a bright and joyous season, just as the ancestors would have said it over a thousand years ago.

  2. Some thoughts about language immersion:

    Wish I could learn Modern Standard #Arabic through immersion, but all I've found were cartoons. I'll definitely go for TV series as my main learning material when learning a dialect though.

  3. I'm forever struggling to find a sustainable language-learning routine. Whatever I do, it only seems to last for a couple of weeks before I fall off the wagon again. I'm currently trying to train the reflex of opening the language app every time I pick up my phone. Even if it's just for reviewing a single word. This might be something. No thinking process involved, no chance to get lazy.

  4. Learning #German as a Polish native:
    - We have 4 cases.
    - Yes, I know what they are, we have 7 of them.
    - The verbs take a different form for every person.
    - That's only logical.
    - And we gender our nouns.
    - Well, obviously.

    Learning German as an English speaker:
    *confusion and panic*

  5. Anyone knows any European Portuguese resources that I can use to practice my pronunciation? Like a bank of sentences I could play and repeat after, or something similar... I checked Tatoeba but I mostly saw Brazilian audio there.
    Any tips will be appreciated, I'm desperate ;)

  6. #langHangout Q2: What is your main goal when learning languages?

    My answer: I only learn languages for fun. I know I will probably never get to use them in a conversation, and that's okay. What bring me most joy is to be able to consume content in new languages, especially books, series and podcasts. So in my learning, I focus on comprehension. My main goal is to be able to pick up any book in my target language, and read it without looking up any words.

    How about you?

  7. Hey! I wonder if there is a hidden language learner community out here. I guess there's many of us, we just need to come together.
    I will just start this little game of posting language learning prompts, and I hope you join along.
    (I stole the idea from #writerscoffeeclub, which I really enjoy following - someone please let me know if that's not okay ;)).

  8. #langtoot Hi all, I just wanted to give a short introduction :) I'm a language enthusiast, currently studying Persian, Norwegian and Portuguese. I mostly study on my own, but it does get lonely sometimes. I would love to find a community to share my progress and get motivated. I will try to share my progress here from time to time, and I'm excited to see what are you all up to as well :).

  9. #langtoot Depending on the language you are studying, WikiSource can be a good place to find reading material. It's available in a number of languages. Often the texts are older works whose copyrights have expired. Here's the link: wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page

  10. #langtoot WikiBooks is a repository of open-content textbooks anyone can edit. Here is the Persian language textbook in the English Wikibooks: en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Persian

  11. ゆっくりと日本語能力試験の向けの勉強をし続く。残念ながら今年の12月は受けない。だが、来年の夏に準備しなきゃ。子供と仕事の転職のもので、一日の勉強時間は少ないため、今から少しずつ勉強始める。

    ずっと前から勉強した教科書を再び勉強始めることにした。今年は第三十のレッスンまでにいけると決めた。頑張ります!✌️

  12. Ich bin fast fertig mit „Plötzlich in Palermo”. Die Handlung nahm eine Wendung, die ich nicht vorhersehen konnte. Das war total fantastisch und frisch!

    Wenn Sie gerade Deutsch lernen, holen Sie sich einige Bücher von @andreklein! Man kann diese und mehr bei @learnoutlive finden.

  13. I took a few weeks off reading my easy German readers and watching shows in German. Still listened to quite a bit of German music, though.

    Getting back to it, I just finished up Ahoi aus Hamburg by @andreklein / @learnoutlive and a word that really stuck out with me was "schickimicki". The funny part is, when I started rewatching Kleo on Netflix an hour later, I heard one of the main characters use that word in a sentence! Like instant reinforcement!
