February… the month of love 💕

But sometimes the most powerful words aren’t “I love you.”
They’re “I miss you.”

Language gives us the ability to say what our heart feels — across distance, across cultures, across time.

This Valentine’s season, fall in love with learning how to express the words that matter most. 💙

Ready to say more than just the basics?

Compiling vocabulary glossaries for my language books and manually checking them for continuity is always a huge PITA. Currently working on an automated Vocabulary Analyzer that can spot these issues for me (regex for the win).

I forgot to share it here, but I’ve been reading in Polish every day for 100 days now :)

I’m doing my best to use the language more now, and I’m not quite there yet, but I’m happy how much my understanding has progressed!

I love to see more than English used here

The whole world puts an effort to communicate in English. Instead of asking the fediverse how to mute posts in other languages how about using the translate feature, perhaps after taking a wee moment to enjoy being exposed to the unfamiliar 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, before playing the corrective role of grammar police, what about considering that English might not be the poster's first language 💡 #languages #language #CulturalImperialism #LanguageLearning

This article investigates how the amount of time toddlers spend watching videos relates to the kinds of words they learn, not simply the total vocabulary size. Findings show higher digital media use corresponds with a smaller proportion of body part words and a larger proportion of words related to people and furniture, while most other word categories remain unaffected.

This work highlights the nuance in language development and the role of environmental input in shaping lexical categories, an area of central interest in psychology. It also demonstrates how media experience interacts with learning processes and content type, prompting careful consideration of measurement and interpretation in developmental research.

February = the month of love 💕

But what if love isn’t just flowers and chocolate… what if it’s how we speak to one another?

“Love thy neighbor” hits differently when you can say it in another language — when you understand the culture, the depth, the heart behind the words.

This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with learning something meaningful. 💙

I've been learning Spanish for years. I can read it fine. Grammar’s fine too.

But following native speech is tough.

So I built a little web app with tiny stories + built-in repetition for daily listening.
