One of the joys of listening to languages that build in relationship-indicators to their ways of speaking to each other.
The depth of a relationship indicated by a 형 vs 아저씨 or 선배님
#Inktober2025 #Inktober Day 31: award
Practicing vocabulary and writing in Mandarin and Hangeul
I feel like seeing this entire month's worth of practice is an award for me. Wow!
#LanguageLearner
I just realized, after seeing posts of Kyungsoo's Tokyo concerts this weekend, that Tokyo is spelled 도교 in Hangeul, where 도 is the same as Kyungsoo's last name. But 'D' versus 'T' in romanization.
With that realization, it finally occurred to me that ㅌ is like a double ㄷ just like ㅋ is a double ㄱ. 🤯 It looks so obvious now!
In an effort to fund my beach-based lifestyle, I am giving English lessons online. If you are looking for some conversational practice with a bit of grammar and pronunciation, I'm really really cheap! #english #LanguageLearner
#Inktober2025 #Inktober days 20 & 21: rivals & blast
Practicing vocabulary and writing in Mandarin and Hangeul
Attention to detail is missing for me today, putting the Mandarin under the wrong days.
Korean "rivals" was super easy because it is literally the English word "rival" with the Korean plural particle 들 at the end.
Mandarin "blast" kicked my ass. Two complicated characters, and that second half of the first one has so many elements. 😩

My elderly neighbor, who speaks no English, received my parcels, and I was able to handle the entire exchange, including discussing an extra unexpected parcel, entirely in Dutch.
Progress, I think?

I just yelled, 'Fuochi d'artificio!' in my empty office.
That means fireworks 🎆.
But it sounds like something else.
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).

It’s raining today. 🌧️
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. #polishlanguage #happy #languagelearner
