I don't know if this is a hidden reference to an easter egg of Final Fantasy V or an obvious reference of most shops from Akihabara. They even put it on the second floor to add realism!

Someone asked me what language I had my phone in yesterday. I had to look at it to check. It would've surely been French or Norwegian, but I had to make sure which one. #languagenerd #french #norwegian #polyglot

Der Kobold (fast 6, erkennt mehrere Buchstaben, liest kurze Wörter aus bekannten Buchstaben) möchte jetzt rumänisch lernen. Ich hatte das auch mal angeschaut, aber bin über die ersten Wörter nich raus gekommen. Nachdem es jetzt aber mehrere Tage lang Thema war: Welche Ressourcen zum #SpracheLernenMitKind nutzt ihr so?
Bevor wir all in gehen gern erstmal niedrigschwelliges um zu schauen, ob das Interesse bleibt.

I think the latter sounds better to me 😉

There was someone a few years back who wrote a paper on the definitive order of adjectives in English - the pattern is apparently strong enough to reach firm conclusions. e.g. that a native speaker is unlikely to say "the brown big dog" and will almost certainly use "the big brown dog".

He came up with an order, like size-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose, but it was a fair bit longer than that. It's hard to search for so I haven't got a reference. Closest I have is the one I took that 6-element one from:

English is a tough language to learn!

The rule says:

“I before E, except after C"

But did you know there is a second part that says:

"...or when sounded as A, as in neighbor and weigh."

I'd love to read a lot more like I did last year, but it's actually hard af when learning two foreign languages or three, especially when there's one you're a complete beginner in #books #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity #ReadingList #reading2025 #booksky #language #languages #languagelearning #languagenerd #booknerd

I love the word "hoary."
