It's a strange thing.
I know how to read and write the Greek Cyrillic alphabets, but most of the time I have no idea what I'm reading about.
I only know Καλημέρα, παρακαλώ, ευχαριστώ πολύ (Hello, please, thanks a lot) for the Greek, and Сиводня, спасибо for the Russian Cyrillic (today, thank you).

I'm on day 5 of learning Polish using the Drops app. I've requested "Polish for Dummies" and "Złotowłosa i trzy misie/Goldilocks and the three bears" through my local library. I've also very optimistically purchased an eBook copy of the Cyberiada by Stanisław Lem.

So far, it's nifty how much my high school French class seems to help with Polish--like, knowing French "quelle heure est-il" makes it easier to learn Polish "kiedy". I don't know if that makes sense linguistically or if it's just my brain having more options to make connections along.

I made a list of ᏣᎳᎩ words I wanted to share on my discord this week and wrote them all down in syllabary without the phonetics because I CAN READ THEM. 😭🥹

@isaactly_s This is a video I found while clearing out my phones` memory. It is quiet funny and is about the english language and its particulars concerning food (cow/beef, pig/pork). At the end, everything is about hotdogs ;-) Hope you enjoy.

"The implications for language teaching are significant. Traditional methods often place a heavy emphasis on reading and writing early on, but a shift toward immersive listening experiences could accelerate spoken proficiency."

Asked on discord but can't wait for an answer, if I made a test 3 weeks ago for myself, forgot about it, and managed to get 17,5/20 (two forgotten words and wrote a a instead of å) does it counts or not? #languagelearning #selfteaching #selftaught #languagelearner

Fellow #neurodivergent who are into #languagelearning, I have a question.
Do you sometimes have more trouble than you should when an exercise requires to translate a single sentence without any context? Or when only asked to do "as shown in the example" and you aren't sure you understood what was asked from you, even though (that is important) it is something you would have no trouble with saying in context? And already know? #languages #languagelearner #adhd #audhd #autism

Poiché mi piace guardare film italiani di serie B, soprattutto film di exploitation, mi piace molto imparare l'italiano.

I think ONEW's name is a good example of the English-to-Korean spelling/reading challenges I have as a #LanguageLearner.

Pronounced, ONEW is "Oh-New" in English. We like our consonants to move to the beginning of a syllable in this case.

In Korean, it is 온유 - "Ohn-yew", with the ㄴ/N at the bottom of a syllable.

🥴

#Introduction remake for 2025

I have deep, varying interests and post frequently. I currently love:
* music! #kpop stars #EXO, especially D.O. #도경수 #디오 #DohKyungsoo and #SUHO #수호 , plus #SHINee # Key and #ONEW #온유
* #kdrama, #cdrama, #ThaiDrama, and #TaiwaneseDrama
* learning! I am a #LanguageLearner
* #hockey! #PWHL and local junior hockey league games
* #Unschooling my kid

I'm here to learn, share joys, and make connections with people.

TFW you are watching a kpop music video and have captions on in both Korean and English, but you can't seem to follow the lyrics with the song until you realize the song itself is in Japanese and English. The captions translate it into Korean and English.

Just me? 😅

Happy Hangeul Day, celebrating the written Korean language invented by King Sejong the Great in the 1400s!

Here's SUHO feeling proud of his non-Korean fans who learn the Korean language. 🥰

(Yes, I still have pretend conversations with him in Korean in my head as I practice #LanguageLearning .)

Two messages in Korean, and their English translations, from SUHO, noted as 준며니.
1. 해외공연을 하다보면 한국어를 한글을 한국 사람만끔 잘하는 해외 팬분들을 만나서 진짜 깜짝깜짝 놀라는데
When I perform overseas, I'm surprised to meet fans who speak Korean as well as Koreans.
2. 엑소때문에 한국어 공부했다고 해서넘 뿌듯해용
I heard you studied Korean because of EXO, so I'm so proud.

My current stage of informal #LanguageLearner learning is knowing how a word or phrase sounds, then trying to type it into Google Translate to see how it is spelled.

Today, it was "진차" (seriously). I first thought it was spelled "친차" (friendly), then "진자" (pendulum).

My pronunciation is still terrible. I want a class that is solely me watching how a native Korean speaker places their tongue when they speak. That sounds a little obscene, though. 😅
