Thing I remembered today when shopping for fancy mason jar lids:
When I was a little kid, since I had never seen it written down and was in a French class by the tender age of 5, I assumed they were "maison jars" -- i.e. jars you used at home to make pickles rather than buying pickles at the store, which came in their own jar.
("Maison" means "house" or "home" in French.)

4yo looking at me with a critical look (presumably after I did something wrong at the table): you are not very learnish!

Lately I've been watching/listening to a lot of content about #ComprehensibleInput regarding #LanguageAcquisition . What's been tripping me up is that most content creators say the Goldilocks range is knowing 95-98% of the words and then a few minutes later they say that you should only be highlighting unknown words once every page or two. If each page has 250-750 words and 2-5% of words on the page are unknown, the MATH says 4-40 words on each page are unknown.

(In case you were wondering about acquiring plurals in constructs)
As a firm believer in this teaching approach, I can say that this factor has significantly influenced my daughter's language learning journey.

Got a reminder this evening of a spectacular German word: "Arschgeige" (loosely pronounced "ARSH guy guh"). It's a word used for a person who's a complete screw-up.
Literally translated, it means "ass fiddle."
An example sentence is:
Der 45. US-Präsident ist voll die Arschgeige.
You're welcome!
