#trilingual

[gayeilgeoir]

Stop making your multilingual characters “forget to switch back”, that’s unrealistic, here’s some actual situations multilingual people regularly do, as someone who is fluent in English, and conversationally fluent in Irish and Spanish:

If they have to say something in another language, like a name, it will be heavily accented, they won’t say it like it’s English

Multilingual people might have a hard time distinguishing languages that arent their first, and may mix them together in sentences

Translating expression directly that only make sense in one language

Adding sounds to English words because they don’t exist in their language (Eg: ‘Eschool’ in Spanish speakers instead of ‘school’)

my roman empire is how peoples' voices change when they switch languages

I can now go to a German/Austrian supermarket and get two kilogrammes of cat. Yum!

Being bilingual is hard but being trilingual is even harder because your vocabulary is just shit.

[polysprachig]

Trilingual(+) with no idea what language learning goals to set for 2025 and/or no particular desire to set any? With various degrees in range of expression/accuracy in your L1-L3 and level discrepancies across the 4 skills, vocab and grammar?

Consider changing up your factory settings and shifting them after a certain time period (3, 4, 6 months...) or establish them as your go-to default for the year at large.

L1 - listening to music/podcasts & hobbies

L2 - reading/writing (including fanfiction, device language, etc.)

L3 - watching videos/films/series (and/or making them, if that's your thing)

Here is what I share with Jean Moreau : I'm French and the only word I did not understand in the book was the exact one he asked the meaning for.

Thank you Jean for asking what is the translation of pouffiasses in english, now I feel better, we struggle together.

I downloaded a new app for learning German because Duolingo actually started driving me insane and I know it’s the jump from most used nouns to just generally whatever nouns they felt like putting on here… But 242 feels a little excessive for one section. Can we not pace this a little slower please? This is just scary 😂.

how to get better at your first language bc it is effectively not your native language anymore

My brain bugged when P'Vi started speaking French.

It took me a couple a second to realize I didn't need the subtitles 🙃 I was confused because of the Thai and English subtitles.

I know Chanya is fluent in French, but I am impressed that she had almost no accent. I'm certain Chanya gave her input on the script as it felt like a real conversation someone has with their grandparents.

I hope the show will keep using her trilinguism as it would be a great asset for a well-known actress.

I never expect to hear my language when I watch an Asian show.

Right now I’ve been learning Greek as a devotional act to Hermes, and how to play the Lyre for Apollo, but good resources are so scarce! I’ve just been using Duolingo as a resource for Greek and haven’t found any that are for absolute beginners so if you guys know any resources for either please share. 🙏

May the Gods smile when they glance at y’all ❤️

These things are sorta fun I think? Except for the fact that when you start one, all the things you like and dislike just leave your memory completely lmao

On my journey to become a polyglot

I'm learning German and Spanish right now, but do you think I'm gonna stop there????? No of course not

After that, I'm gonna learn Polish and Ukrainian, and then I might learn Arabic or maybe Japanese???? I fucking love languages they're all so interesting!!!! And they all sound so neat when you speak them!!! Its so fun to speak languages

Also can't wait for the moment where somebody is speaking in a language they think I don't know but then I speak like fluently???? Insane

People should learn another language it's so cool
