Hey #langsky Please could those who have it advise what is a good price for clozemaster lifetime. I'm not sure how good or how frequent the deals are. TIA

#langsky Progress last year in Scottish Gaelic. Will continue this year. Love the language :) Decided finally to pick up Polish as it is one of the languages with quite a few speakers in my area. Strangely, I have never actually tried to learn a language I could just get to speak in my country

For all the world’s linguistic diversity, human languages still obey some universal patterns to make language easy to learn and use. Humpback whale songs recorded over 8 years closely adhered to a Zipf’s law. Other studies suggest they follow brevity law and Menzerath’s law. #LangSky #Linguistics

Whale Songs Obey Basic Rules of Human Languages

Humpback whales learn their haunting melodies in much the same way humans learn words

I think there should be studying for fun groups. You could meet up for a few hours of studying alongside other people and being all excited about what you have learned with people who get the happiness. There could be comfy chairs and snacks! :) #studysky #langsky

Right, trying again to get a positive experience out of working through a book. I want to pull the threads of my Gàidhlig together and make sure I have actually learned the basics of communication! #Langsky

Getting back into languages by giving myself a fortnight to dabble. I'm enjoying it but still drawn to my normal TL's. This makes me happy! :) Given where I live, it would make so much more sense for me to focus on Polish though (or even Romanian). I'd probably get a chance to use those! #langsky

Why is the word used different in these examples even though both objects are female? Why a ta ending in one and te in the other? #langsky

#Audiobooks I have books from MP3, borrobox, audible, kobo and audiobooks.com. it's a faff navigating between so many different services. Anyone found a player where I can access multiple libraries?

Anyone else on #Langsky not trying to be a polyglot? I really love languages and I'll acknowledge I wanted to speak something other than English (since a lot of English speakers seem not to). Still, it's not like I'm here learning because I want to be a polyglot, I just find language fascinating! :)

Listening to English audiobooks at increased speeds (so getting really used to quick speech) has had the unexpected effect of helping with my comprehension in my TL's. Speech at normal speed feels slower and more comprehensible than it did before! #langsky :)

1. A language studied but mostly forgotten 🇩🇪 (school) 2. A language you find most melodic 🇸🇪 3. A language you wish you learned as a kid 🇨🇳🇰🇷🇵🇱 Basically one of the 'hard' ones! 4. A language that feels like home (besides native one)🇲🇫 5. A language you'd love to teach someday. Any I could #LangSky

#langsky I have a friend that has never learned a second language before and wants to learn Romanian (not the easiest). Any suggestions for the clearest grammar overview?

There's something really special about learning a language that is native to this island :) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It's a shame Cumbric is extinct. Perhaps I'll have to tackle Old English one day, for the feeling of speaking a language (other than English) that I have ancestral links to :) #langsky

#audiobook Anyone found an app that will let you keep all your audiobooks together? I have standard MP3 titles that I burned off CD versions, audible titles, kobo titles. I would love to not be juggling so many libraries!! #books

So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you? For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?
