The Tibetan letter ག་ makes a -k sound at the end of a word. Here are some examples!

The meaning of the Tibetan title "geshe". This is the Tibetan translation of the word that the Buddha was using when he said that "admirable friendship is the whole of the holy life" 🙏

👉 Sanskrit scholars were the world's first linguists, coming up with precise descriptions of language that stand the test of time.

🌐 When Tibetans imported Indian culture en masse in the 7th-11th centuries, one of the ideas they imported is the idea of grammatical case, known as "vibhakti" in Sanskrit.

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! 😅

Some of these words are more literary, and others more colloquial. Some are more respectful or are for high-status children. There are also several regional words for "child" not included here.

Easy peasy, right? 😅

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

Did you know that in Tibetan (and also in Mongolian), the different strokes of a letter are named after different parts of the body?

The long vertical stroke in the letter ཀ་ is called a "leg" (རྐང་པ་), and the slightly shorter vertical stroke in the letter ཁ་ is called an "arm" (ལག་པ་).

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.

China is a colonial, imperialist country. Solidarity with the Tibetan people and with all oppressed and stateless peoples. Free Tibet ✊️

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 or anything, it's just I like the other tools a lot.)
