Last Night I Ate Breaded Fish With My Grandma, And She Said That Is Was "bundás Hal", Explaining To

love saying "ich krieg die krise" for i'm losing it / i'm freaking out / etc because it translates directly to "I'm getting the crisis". you know the one. THE crisis. the one and only baby. ye ol reliable

strangely common misconception that words have basically the same meanings in every langauge and that translation is just a matter of identifying which exact word in the target language corresponds to the word in the original language

Changing a game to your target language & "harmful" learning strategies

Can you get away with just using "das" the majority of the time in Germany?

Do you have any tips on how to improve your writing in your target language?

Do you have any resources/methods about how to reach an academic level in the language you’re learning (& how to improve your writing)?

Do you have any linguistic recourses on Ruhrpott-Deutsch?

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

learning another language is always beautiful, no matter how long it takes. like, what do you mean you are crying because you had to read a sentence twice to get it, when at the beginning you had to do it five times? kicking yourself because you had to listen to an audio at .75x to understand it fully, when two months ago you could barely understand one or two words, even at your second try? getting mad because you had to research how to spell a word, when a few days back you didn't even know how to pronounce it? hell, that's amazing. keep going. you'll get there.

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 :)

#french language #learning french #foreign language

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.

How finns from around Finland say “I”. The formal form is “minä” and default informal form is “mä”
