Today I tried this course from the MIT called "Speak Italian with your mouth full". These are recordings of the class/seminar the gave in 2012 for a class of 12 students from physics, maths or other similar majors. + 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 #langsky

A imagem mostra uma família abraçada, composta por três adultos e uma criança, com o mar ao fundo. O elenco principal inclui Fernanda Torres, Selton Mello e Fernanda Montenegro.
2. Ao centro: o pôster minimalista de “O Último Azul”, de Gabriel Mascaro, vencedor do Prêmio do Júri (Silver Bear) na 75ª Berlinale. O destaque visual é uma concha azul estilizada sobre um fundo branco. O elenco principal conta com Denise Weinberg, Rodrigo Santoro, Miriam Socorrás e Adanilo.

Do you use/have heard/like the Zettelkasten method for taking notes?? What do you think about it? 🤔🤔🤔 I have heard about it before but I didn't see how it could benefit me. But now I am taking a course where I have to think and learn and reflect about new things for me and I am seeing the appeal.

"Duolingo is still great for beginners" bruh it's addictive while being ineffective, that's the worst combination. It's getting you started with being addicted to Duolingo and *not* learning a language on your own terms and at your own pace. (A pace that *needs* to be faster than Duo's)

+ on the other hand, it was difficult for me to focus on the exercises because how I have let social media ruin my attention span. It's not the course's fault it's mine/the system's I spent like 30 min on Quizlet practicing the vocab because i got it wrong each time because I WASN'T paying attention

My point with my logs is that when I achieve a proficiency and cool level in Italian and some tells me "oh you are just good at languages" or "how did you do it?" Or "how much time will it take me to speak Italian?". I'll print this log and send it to them like 👀👀👀 A LOT. IT TAKES A LOT.

The most common misconception is that you either "know" a language or you don't. There are at least three different vectors of language ability: vocabulary, grammar, and accent. Accent matters least unless yours is so bad you can't be understood. All three are *spectra,* not on/off binaries.

To learn a language you have to be creative about how to do it, and to push yourself to try things. As Vincent Van Gogh said: "I'm always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it." 😎 I'm having fun reading up on various artists. #langsky #learnlanguages

This sounds like a fun little experiment, but it has absolutely nothing to do with language learning. It's a Google Translate with bells on, and will do absolutely nothing to actually help you learn a language.

Reminder that CAPTCHA was created by the same guy who co-founded Duolingo. In TED Talk, he said that Duolingo was originally intended to be a platform to get free labor, similar to CAPTCHA. I wonder how people's voice and video data (from using new AI-enabled conversation) will be used. #LangSky
