Studying languages can be fun but what happens when there is more at stake than you realize? #creativewriting #fiction #sf #scifi #sciencefiction #MWalkerStephens #languagestudy #aliens #languages #learning

The equivalent of the word "hello" in German, which is "hallo", is the best "hello" I think.

It just occurred to me that I can read and write six different writing systems (with varying degrees of ease).

My younger self would be delighted by this.

I logged into Lingo Legend tonight, and was sailing through my lessons but finding the spellings a bit odd.

I totally forgot that I changed the study language from Italian to Portuguese last night.

I just keep thinking about the presumable Latin roots and rolling with it -- while thinking it was an Italian lesson.

What can I say: I'm tired! 😅

I want to try a new #Japanese learning method: I'd like to start posting regular or semi-regular videos talking about different things, using a translation service and/or dictionary to find the necessary words. The problem is, my living situation is a little ruff right now, so I can't think of anything positive to talk about. If I can get into a better place though, has anyone had luck with this method? #LanguageLearning #LanguageStudy #JapaneseLearning

Can anyone recommend good online tools, ideally free or affordable, for learning Danish?

A friend has offered to help me learn and I want to take advantage of the opportunity!

*Not Duolingo, obviously. I'm not interested in their AI slop.

**I don't need lectures from language study purists about using online tools. I am asking for what I want for my own reasons. Bullies and scolds will be blocked.

SPEAK LIKE AN ISRAELI - Part 1: הביתה 🏠

This is THE word you'll hear constantly when talking to Israelis.

One of those words that instantly makes you sound like a local the moment you use it.

If you want to speak Hebrew like an actual Israeli (not like a textbook), these are the words you absolutely need to know.

Those words that separates tourists from locals.

Master them, and Israelis will immediately notice you sound different from other Hebrew learners.

This is exactly the kind of real, practical Hebrew I focus on - the words and phrases that actual Israelis use every single day.

Stay tuned for Part 2 😃

Fellow language learners, if you have ditched Duolingo because they wedged in AI slop (because you care about how they treat their workers and/or the accuracy of the lessons and/or AI impact on the planet, etc.), what are you using for language study now and for which languages?

This is annoying: I got a new phone and many of the apps that I used to use to study Ancient Egyptian are no longer available.

Sadly, this is not really an OS problem so much as there was just one person who was writing most of this code, and they appear to have just stopped updating. ☹️

Back to the limitations of flashcards, etc. (Not dissing #Ankidroid or anything, it's just I like the other tools a lot.)

i know, duolingo isn’t actually great, but

If you are intermediate in Spanish, I strongly recommend listening to this guy's Spanish. He enunciates well. He repeats himself. This is great for learners. I understand *most* of what he says.

A heartwarming moment shared by a parent: their daughter practicing Hebrew cursive letters in bed using my Hebrew 2 Workbook. It’s a beautiful reminder of how learning Hebrew can connect generations, and I’m so humbled that my resources play a part in this journey.

My books are designed for learners of all ages, but moments like this truly capture the gift of passing Hebrew to the next generation.

So I'm finally doing almost daily journalling, a habit I've wanted to do for ages - all because of my #TeReoMāori study! I can put together simple sentences in all tenses, so my writing practise is translating those short diary entries into Te Reo. I use Te Aka for new vocabulary and a couple sources to help with grammar I'm not sure about.
I then read several of them aloud, to practise pronounciation but also just getting used to the language.

(1/2)

When you realise the 1000 most frequent word list in Te Reo Māori is acually 980 words:

Teachers, we're curious: do you ever get your students to do introductory language study on Duolingo or similar apps as extension activities when they are learning about other regions? What grades or ages, what apps, what languages?

I wrote a lot of words I learnt reading this book (like for now 18 pages/9 sheets), I have to organise them for learning but I feel everything is only accessible through a Paywall now, are there still good apps? I never did paper cards or such, open to it but unsure how to proceed? (level estimated A2/B1, self learning)

Tu B'Av just ended, so let's talk about what happens when a marriage ends in Hebrew.

In plural, we say /g-roo-'sheem/ (stress on the last syllable), meaning *we are divorced*, *they are divorced*, or *you (plural) are divorced*.

But here's the twist:

When we stress the *next* syllable and say /g-'roo-sheem/, it means something completely different!

It's a colloquial way to say something is worth pennies, or as we say in Israel, it costs /g-'roo-sheem/ — next to nothing, super cheap, or worthless.

The word /g-'roosh/ refers to an old, unused currency, and /g-'roo-sheem/ is its plural, now used as slang for pennies.

Make sure to learn Hebrew with my phonetic system, where the ' sign shows you exactly where to place the stress.

That way, you'll always pronounce the right meaning, the right word, and sound like a true local!
