You Need To Be Looking For Sewing And Drawing Tutorials In Spanish, To Watch Baking Tutorials In Russian

You need to be looking for sewing and drawing tutorials in Spanish, to watch baking tutorials in Russian or read the wikipedia article about the insect you've just discovered on your balcony in German ! You cannot watch Peppa pig in your target language forever.

Will knowing how to say "aiguille à tricoter" in French be useful for your exam ? Probably not, but who cares ? You're listening to spoken French AND you're learning a manual skill !

Youtube is full of wonderful tutorials in many languages, everything is there just waiting for you ...

And why stop at manual skills ? Philosophy ? History ? Astrology ? Hop hop hop, in your target language ! Want to learn something about Egypt ? The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has a coursera course on it.

"But I won't understand anything" I personally prefer to understand 20% of a lecture about a sacred temple in the middle of the desert than understand 60% of the most boring standard "what do you like to eat for breakfast" textbook learning material.

I've been learning Spanish recently and I can't stress enough how frustrated I get everytime an irregular verb is irregular

That's so true! I'm learning Russian and even if I'm still a beginner, I can understand the common words of the other Slavic languages, that's so fun to see!

so a couple months ago i was looking through the channels and saw bbc alba and decided to watch it and something i found so cool was how similar gaidhlig is to gaeilge… i also know some french because i did it in secondary school and i have quite a few brazillian friends that i met online, and something i love is how whenever they speak in portuguese i can understand some words and the sentence structure because i know french, and they are both part of the romance language family. learning languages is sooooo cool and it is so interesting knowing about all the similarities and i feel like whenever you know one language it is really easy to learn the others which are in the same family. anyways ! i love learning languages, i find it all so interesting 🥹

My French text book says « mais ce serait trop simple si c’était systématique, n’est-ce pas?! » and I think that’s the French language’s motto

In Danish, if you're acting improper or if you're being mean we say "hvordan kan du være det bekendt?" which LITERALLY means: how could you be familiar with that? like this isn’t your heart, who are you right now

I saw that English has also an expression for that: "should be taken with a pinch of salt"

Also, even if some translators are good, keep in mind that sometimes they won't understand the most colourful expressions and they will lead you to a word-for-word translation

I'm Pretty Sure That's Not It....why Is This The First Result...... -> Prendre Quelque Chose Avec Des

I'm pretty sure that's not it....why is this the first result...... -> prendre quelque chose avec des pincettes = to handle/treat something with caution This post is a friendly reminder to take the google translate/AI translations with tweezers.

Bonjour, quels sont quelques façons de démonstrer à qqn sur texto en français que tu lui écoute et reconnaître (bref, des affirmatifs français)?

Salut !

Comme dans toutes les langues ça va dépendre des personnes et de la discussion, en tout cas pour ma part voilà ce que j'utilise :

- Je vois (oui)

- Ah oui

- Ah bon ?

- Je comprends (oui)

- C'est vrai (?)

- D'accord/d'acc

Répondre par juste "oui" ou "ok" peut paraître froid pour la personne qui reçoit le message, certaine fois je remplace "ok" par "oki" pour que ça passe mieux

Je rajouterai peut-être d'autres choses plus tard si j'ai de nouvelles idées, en tout cas j'espère que ça peut t'aider !

Si d'autres personnes veulent ajouter leur avis, n'hésitez pas à reblog en ajoutant les mots que vous utilisez :)

I fucking love language and linguistics, I love the social aspects of it, the storytelling, the music, the sounds, the comparisons, the loanwords, the differences, the history, the changes, the communication, things that transcend that, non-verbal languages, the dialects, unconventional ways of communication, the mixes of languages, the pigins and creoles, the bilingual or multilingual speakers, codeswitching-

I love it all. I love how humans express themselves. How sometimes translation isn't needed because everyone understands anyway. How it can catch you offguard, how words aren't possible to translate-

How silences are often louder than words.
