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

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

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 😂.

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 ❤️

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

How I immerse myself in Korean and Spanish

한국어 (Korean)

I think I’m doing so good in Korean because I’m constantly watching things in Korean and exposing myself to the language.

1. K-pop

I’m such a big K-pop fan and it really helps my learning process. If I didn’t enjoy K-pop I don’t think Id be able to comprehend half of what I can today.

I watch a lot of “vlogs” from my favorite idols. (My fav to watch are LE SSERAFIM’s vlogs, they’re just really easy for me to understand and entertaining at the same time).

ATEEZ is always doing something and they’re my ult group so I’m just constantly watching them. Recently though I haven’t been watching their stuff so I have a lot to catch up on 😅

The music makes no sense to me because obviously song lyrics aren’t written in conversational everyday Korean so I don’t even really count that as listening comprehension. Every now and then I’ll catch a word I know and get shocked though 🙏

I used to watch V-lives or whatever they’re called now a lot but I can’t focus for that long anymore. (박성화 has the best lego lives)

2. K-Dramas

I don’t watch as many dramas as some people but I feel like they’ve definitely helped me get used to listening to Korean.

I try not to take any phrases or vocab from dramas because it’s a drama… and they’re dramatic 😭

I started watching Business Proposal like a month ago but I got distracted with exams and I stopped watching it with 2 episodes left… (SPOILERS: istg if 하리 and 태무 don’t stay together I’m giving up on everything)

3. Korean Cartoons

I LOVE Learn Korean with Jadoo. I barely understand any of it but it’s helped me a lot with understanding how certain grammar points are used and how certain words are used.

I also like watching Peppa Pig in Korean because the episodes are short and sweet and they’re relatively easy to understand.

I used to watch We Bare Bears in Korean but I watched like every episode they had on YouTube so now I’m rewatching in Spanish. (I genuinely love We Bare Bears, it’s always been the best cartoon out there)

4. Korean News

I like to read a lot of Korean news to help with pronunciation and reading comprehension. It also allows me to find some more specific vocabulary that I would use in describing what I do, what I like, and what I want to do in my future because I can find real stories that are specific to my interests.

5. ASMR

Soy ASMR and Seonghwas ASMR videos have been single-handedly holding my life up. Judy ASMR is also a really good creator. I like to watch like roleplay ASMR like “friend does your makeup for a party” or whatever because it exposes me to more casual vocabulary.

Español (Spanish)

1. Classes

I do take Spanish classes at school so I get over and hour of Spanish immersion in while at school everyday. We mainly use Spanish in the classroom.

2. Spanish Documentaries

I’m a bit more advanced in Spanish than I am in Korean so I prefer to watch Documentaries as to cartoons.

Documentaries also interest me more than cartoons in some aspects like learning more about different latin cultures, hearing different accents and dialects, and learning about how other people live.

3. Cartoons

I only really watch We Bare Bears in Spanish because I just like the show, but sometimes Spanish feels like a chore to me or like I’m just learning it to pass a class at this point, so cartoons are a good way to just casually comprehend the language.

4. Spanish News

I found this really good Spanish news for kids website and it’s so incredibly helpful. I’m in the process of making a “Spanish Resources” blog post like I did with Korean so I’ll definitely link that there.

I read the articles out loud to help get more comfortable with speaking, reading and my pronunciation.

They also have a podcast that’s just like a read aloud of the article so after I read the article, I go and listen to the podcast.

The topics are really interesting, too. Like one of them was about this lady bringing her pet pig to the airport to help calm people down??? I wanna go pet a pig wdym????

6. Spanish music

There are no words in the English language to express how much I love Spanish music.

It’s literally just so beautiful.

In class we have broken down various songs, so I can understand music very easily unlike in Korean even if I have to think about the lyrics for a bit.

7. Spanish YouTube videos/ASMR

I watch a lot of “un día en mi vida” type videos and I love ASMR so I watch a lot of those. 🙏

Perth has a new video out about his language learning experience.

[meowxfs]

Is it strange that i always interact with people in english😭😭😭never im my native language, like, its easier to assume they know english than my native language so....

[jc-martin-og]

Encadenado por un recuerdo olvidado,

Que se desmorona en fragmentos rotos,

Retratos de memorias que ya no conozco.

Pushed down a cloudy hallway,

Adrift without purpose, no paths to follow,

No guiding light, more than dying flickers.

Rädd för en väg full av falska drömmar,

Laddad med ånger för döda förbindelser,

Saker jag vårdat, nu tysta strömmar.

Olvidado en un rincón de la existencia,

indiferente de mi alma se marchita,

¿Por qué no me buscan? ¿Por qué se lamentan?

Left behind, a shadow of what I was,

Fading into silence, losing the shape of feeling.

Why won’t they see me? Why would they save me?

Glömd i mörkret, där ingen röst når mig,

Hjärtat fryser, minnen bleknar, känslor suddas.

Varför hör de mig inte? Varför lämnar de mig?
