During the last month Spanish players preferred the "Quick Spanish Language Game Estar - Present Tense" by a wide margin. Maybe the sleeping man's image also helps to remember one of the 3 basic uses of "estar". Read more 👉 www.gamesforlanguage.com/blog/post/…

Recently, the post Quick Italian: magari and mica has been the favorite of our Italian learners. In Italian conversations you'll often hear "magari" and "mica". Read more 👉 lttr.ai/AsAoz #Spanish #German #French

Still it's so much more fun to learn with real people. Just got a text from my🇨🇭friend, learned a new phrase: "j'ai la flemme"- feeling lazy, not motivated. Me, just enough motivation to watch Roland Garros: Zverev 🇩🇪 vs DeJong 🇳🇱 - who to root for, both playing tops. And I ❤️ both languages. #langsky

I've started using an app to practice conversational Italian. But the problem is that my AI friend, Cristina talks too much ☹️ I'm learning to interrupt and get the conversation back to what I want to say. I guess that's a skill, too. 😁 So many ways to learn a language! #languagelearning #languages

Fun to do the daily German Wordle game on Der Spiegel. Do you do word games in another language? And, I'm looking for Italian. #wordgames

Good Morning! Wonderful pictures. Am very fond of Haarlem, lived there for two years on the Koninginneweg. And learned my Dutch. 🇳🇱 ❤️ Having another language is a huge bonus in life. Beats a live translation app any time. 😎

Spending 10 days in the Netherlands and soaking up a language I love. Fun to hear words that I knew as a child. 😁 "snoepje" (candy), "poffertjes" (mini pancakes) "hopjes" (coffee flavored candy) ⁉️Question: Was cute cartoon dog Snoopy's name inspired by the Dutch word "snoepje"⁉️ #dutch #langsky

Gestern hieß es in den Nachrichten: ... wird hoffentlich nicht über den Tisch gezogen... Schon mal die Redewendung gehört: Jemanden über den Tisch ziehen. (Literally: To pull someone across the table.) Ever heard this expression? Has a interesting origin, if it's true. #langsky #german

Languages are academically interesting And they provide opportunities. But I view language learning as a personal path, also. A small way in my microcosm to foster tolerance, unity and understanding A constant reminder that people are important outside of the sphere into which I was born #langsky

Fluency is only one of the benefits of learning a language. You learn how to learn. You deepen maturity, patience, & commitment. You learn to navigate desire & despair, embarrassment & break through. You learn pacing, structure & organization. Probably humility, as well #langsky

You can only learn a language by using it: speaking (starting by repeating after you hear it- 🇩🇪 "nachsagen" 😊), writing, reading, reading aloud, listening ... it means you make mistakes, but they become fewer and fewer, and then you get that "language high" 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ #langsky #language #languagelearning
