what all languages do you speak? and what languages do we think k the losers speak

i speak turkish, english and a little bit of german!!!! i tried to learn spanish some time, but now i'm practicing to learn french.

and the losers,,,,, hmm. i seriously don't know. i feel like richie pick up languages very easily and knows basic stuff or funny words in most common languages, but i feel like he'd know spanish, french, turkish (def not projecting) a little bit of russian and a tiny bit of mandarin because of a bet. stan learns languages to make a use of his free time, he knows a bunch, don't make me count bro, but he def knows asl. mike seems to know the type to know russian a little by reading russian literature, also knows asl. bill and eddie doesn't really care about learning languages, i feel like they'd learn a language from their family, so i think bill knows german and eddie knows polish. bill probably forgot german and had to like turn on duolingo to refresh his memory. bev def knows french, she learned it because she thought it was fancy, and also she tried to learn russian for awhile but gave up.

My favourite language learning app for building vocabulary.

Drops has helped me to build my irish vocabulary because of the extensive catagories to choose from i can learn what I want to learn. I also find it helpful because in the free version you can only do five minutes a day. I find that for me it keeps me motivated and makes me pay more attention to the words as occasionally you will have to spell them. I personally find the app helpful for adding vocabulary to my knowledge but it does lack grammar and actual sentences.

Theres many different languages on drops and these are:

ainu, arabic, ASL, bosnian, catalan, chinese (cantonese), chinese (mandarin), croatian, danish, dutch, british and american english,

Esperanto, estonian, finnish, french, galician, german, greek, hawaiian, hindi,

hungarian, icelandic, igbo, indonesian, irish, italian, japanese, korean, norweigan,

persian, polish, brazilian portugues, european portugues, romanian, russian,

samoan, sanskrit, serbian, european spanish, mexican spanish, swahili,

swedish, tagalog, te reo maōri, thai, turkish, ukrainian, vietnamese, yoruba

What are the 10 languages you can say 'thank you' in?

It’s actually 12: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, ASL, Swedish, Turkish, Arabic, Mandarin, and Japanese!

[indigostudies]

1 thru 5, 17, and 33 for the asks! ☃️

1: what’s your native language?

i grew up speaking english, putonghua/mandarin chinese, and turkish, though english is what i mainly use in day to day conversations (the pitfalls of having moved to the usa haha).

2: how many languages do you speak?

i can converse in four languages (english, chinese, turkish, and german), and i can get by if absolutely necessary in spanish (i had one mandatory year of it in school after i moved to the usa).

3: what languages are you currently studying?

at the moment i'm focusing on chinese, kazakh, korean, and shanghainese, with kazakh and korean being the ones i'm focusing the most on in independent study currently.

4: how many/which languages would you like to know in the future?

i'd love to gain a proficient level in mongolian, (egyptian or iraqi) arabic, vietnamese, shanghainese, cantonese, thai, korean, kazakh, and kurmanji. i also have vague dreams of learning csl/chinese sign language, but i don't know how much emphasis there is on body language/nonverbal cues, and i am autistic and trying to remember/interpret that has historically been something that's made sign language very challenging for me to learn (i took a year of asl but basically nothing stuck).

5: do your friends speak other languages?

i have friends who speak italian, brazilian protugese, french, fujianhua/fujian dialect, german, russian, and ukranian, off the top of my head.

17: what was/is the first language you want/ed to learn?

german! when i had to choose a language to study in school, my options were french, spanish, and german. at the time, i thought i'd go into finance, and i didn't like how everyone was pressuring me to study spanish, plus i knew i'd never use french for anything but academics if i studied it, so i chose german. my experience was...................less than ideal, since the number of students in each class dwindled rapidly the further on i went, and oversight by instructors was minimal to say the least, with the final half of my studies being essentially self-administered, so it's actually fairly surprising that i can get around using it.

33: do you ever want to have a career in languages?

abssolutely. languages are my biggest passion, and if i could, i'd spend my entire life studying them. i'm also very interested in translation studies, specifically english-chinese/chinese-english, and i'd love to focus on that for a graduate degree. i also plan on getting a master's in kurmanji and a phd in chinese, which means i'll be spending a lot of time with those two languages. out of careers, the ones that interest me most are translation (english/chinese), diplomatic work (in an embassy or consulate in china), and post-secondary instruction (in chinese or kurmanji).

[janmisali]

okay let's try this again, adding in some of the things people brought up in the notes and dropping some of the least common choices

I would like to try a "what language family is your first language in" poll but wrangling english speakers who don't know english is germanic would be too much of a hassle I think

All of the languages discussed and mentioned in Crash Course Linguistics

The list below outlines the languages that feature in Crash Course Linguistics (Nielsen 2020). For each episode we list both illustrative examples and other languages mentioned. We created a running list of languages used in the videos while writing, to help us actively move towards a greater diversity of language examples. This table might be of interest to you if you want to jump to a particular episode, or if you want to do some critical reflection on your own teaching or lingcomm work.

Looking at the episodes in a single table, I can see the ebb and flow of our focus. It’s much easier to talk about phonetics using a range of examples from different languages than it is to talk about semantics, where you��re focused on the nuance of meaning. I can also see the interests of various members of the production team show through in some example choices, which is why I appreciated working with a team on this project.

The introduction of every video also included an opening animation that had facts about language in English, but also some facts in French, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, German, Korean, Vietnamese and Klingon, reflecting the linguistic diversity and interests of the animation team.

We’ve made this table available as a document on FigShare as well:

Grieser, Jessi; Gawne, Lauren; McCulloch, Gretchen (2021): Languages mentioned in Crash Course Linguistics. La Trobe. Figure. https://doi.org/10.26181/61031a232e96e

Many of you may know that I keep youtube playlists of language samples, and I thought it was about time to compile them all into one post. They contain pretty much anything where you can hear the language clearly -- music, dialogues, tutorials, movie trailers, readings, etc. I’ll probably add more in the future. Hope someone finds them useful!

[wardisahi]

Since none of y'all was going to send me language asks from the reblog I pinned, I decided I'll answer those questions myself. Questions from @wrathofabooklover-blog.

1: What is your native language?

English.

2: Have you learnt any other languages? If yes, what are they?

I know much of Spanish, some Arabic and Urdu, and learning Dutch, Japanese, Swedish, and Turkish on Duolingo.

3: Have you ever read a book in a foreign language?

I tried to read some manga pages in Japanese to see if I could understand them.

4: Did you learn any languages at school? If yes, what were they?

I took ASL for three years in high school, but I don't remember much after. Just some words. Then in university, I took Arabic.

5: What is the prettiest language?

The Nordic (sans Icelandic) and Romance languages (sans Romanian). I also think Cantonese, Finnish, and Polish are pretty.

6: What is the ugliest language?

Czech, Hungarian, Latvian, and Lithuanian. Sorry.

7: Have you ever made up your own language?

When I transferred to another university, changed my major, and took an intro to Linguistics course, our final project was to make up our own language. Mine was called Sudaarish.

8: What languages do your parents speak?

My dad: Urdu, English, some Spanish, wants to learn Turkish

My mom: Arabic, Urdu, English, learning Turkish

9: If you were granted a wish that allowed you to instantly be able to speak any language, which would it be?

Maybe the Asian languages. I can't choose which one.

10: Have you ever tried to learn sign language?

Look at question 4.

11: Have you ever watched a movie with subtitles in a different language, or vice versa?

Yes. Indian (mostly Hindi), Korean, and Spanish movies.

12: Choose a Scandinavian language you’d like to learn.

Well, I'm learning Swedish.

13. Choose a Slavic (eastern European) language you’d like to learn.

Bulgarian, Croatian, or Polish.

14. Choose an Asian language you’d like to learn.

Ooh, that's hard. I guess Cantonese, Kazakh, Japanese, Mandarin, Telugu, or Thai.

15. French, Spanish, Greek - which is the best?

Spanish all the way. I have a love-hate relationship with French and Greek is interesting, but those accent markers make it hard for me to read.

16. German, Dutch, Italian - which is the best?

Dutch. It almost sounds like English. German is interesting too, but those definite articles are too much for me and I too have a love-hate relationship with Italian.

17. Have you ever been embarrassed by a native speaker of the language you are trying to learn?

No, I don't think so, but in Urdu, the language my parents speak, I once mixed up the word "leave" with "fuck".

18. Name a dead language that you wish to make a come back.

Ancient Egyptian.

19. What is your native language / homeland famous for?

Colonialism. There I said it.

20. What language is overrated?

French, Icelandic, Italian. Also I'm tired of seeing people talking about Japanese and Korean as the greatest languages they've ever heard of.

21. What language do you think is too intimidating to learn?

Albanian, the Chinese languages, Indian languages, Icelandic, Korean, and the Southeast Asian languages. Also Xhosa and Zulu because of those clicks.

22. What language should more people speak?

Arabic and Mandarin (I'm tired of people making fun of those languages. It's almost 2021, so quit being racist.)

23. What language uses the prettiest alphabet?

Finnish (I love the ä letter) and Greek.

24. What language uses the weirdest alphabet?

Armenian, Georgian, and Hungarian.

25. Try to find some foreign currency in your house. Where is it from?

I found Canadian coins in my bathroom. I went to Canada four years ago.
