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

#audiobook Yay a relaxing afternoon listening to the rain and a book! :)

Can I ask what resources you used to get to grips with Polish declensions?

YAY for steady Scottish Gaelic progress! :) #langsky

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

In case anyone sees this and wonders. The answer is audiobookshelf

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

Merrily plodding on with my Scottish Gaelic learning :) #langsky

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Two of my 3 TL's are French and Scottish Gaelic, so I totally get this! 😂

I never used to be drawn to Polish at all but as it has become more widely used in my area I do find myself curious about it. The thing is, there are only so many languages you can work on at once

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Thanks!! Always good to find I'm not mistaken! :)

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

They both are awesome but I have enough languages on the go. It's simply that I keep feeling I should learn one I actually have contact with. I rejected Polish in the past as too complicated but I think I have more experience of language structures and how to learn now

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

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

Recommendations for the best Indonesian grammar overview book please! #langsky

Interesting how this year seems to have turned into the Scottish Gaelic and French year. Let's see how long that's the case :) #langsky

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Getting a grammar overview to start with (like spending a couple of hours familiarising myself with the structure of the language)

#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?

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

That's Scottish Gaelic spelling and Mandarin tones for me!

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Yeah, also I'm not saying there is anything wrong with wanting to be a polyglot. Simply, on the day I posted that, I saw multiple I want to be a polyglot posts and was thinking about it and just thinking, it's not like that for me. :)

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

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! :)

I do not need any additional language resources right now, but hopefully, if anyone else has used it, they can let us know :)

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 :)

Well if Japanese is the language you want to learn above all others, go for it!

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Pick a language you genuinely really like and want to know. Not what you think makes you look cool or anything like that

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

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

Oh awesome because I don't think our library has it! I'll look into that. I need to go to the library tomorrow anyway. Thanks :)

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Yeah, probably good advice, I was wondering the same but she doesn't have a lot of money and I wasn't sure if any of the audio courses were free

Blue-Oranges @blue-oranges.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

#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?
