Full Latvian-Resource Index
Been a while, but I'm picking up on Latvian so here is some resources I've collected :)
As many online latvian learning resources I could find. Thanks to Reddit r/latvia, r/learnlatvian and r/polyglot for most of the links on this list. That being said, I have not used all of these sites, but as someone who is weary of online webpages and downloading malicious links, I can tell you that as far as I know, everything is safe to use! (new list organization)
Latvian Resources
textbooks: Colloquial Latvian (audio files), Latvian Teach Yourself, Complete Latvian (audio files)
dictionaries: webtran, glosbe, deepl, dict.com, tuklotajs, etomylogical dict
memrise courses: Beginner’s Complete Latvian, Introductory Latvian, blaafjell, all courses
other resources: ikindalikelanguages, 50 languages, learn 101
extra: movies playlist 1, movies playlist 2
please tell me if you encounter dead links

Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books that I try to update regularly
UPDATE because apparently not everyone has seen this yet the new and improved version of this is a MEGA folder
I know there’s so many more urgent things but if you like this resource you may consider buying me a ko-fi to keep this project alive
if u don’t mind me asking, why translation?? i plan on studying translation as well, and i would love to know what drove/drives you to study it!
Hi! Sorry it took me so long to reply!
I’ve always known I wanted a career in languages. I considered becoming an English teacher or teaching French in a foreign country/to foreigners in France. But for the time being, I can’t quite see myself as a full-time teacher. It’s something I’d ideally like to do later, once I’ve gained some experience and grown more confident.
Regardless of the industry you're in, English has become a requirement for most jobs. I didn’t want it to merely be a tool, but rather the core of my work. Being constantly immersed in my target language is what really prompted me to choose translation as a career.
In my school (the ESIT in Paris), most students are in the “trilingual section": they have their main/native language and two additional languages. For instance, someone might have French as their first language, then Portuguese as their second and English as their third. In this case, they learn to translate from both Portuguese and English into French. I opted for the "bilingual section", with French as my main language and English as my second. I get to translate from English into French but also from French into English. Most translators will be translating only into their native language. In the end, we spend much more time working on our native language skills than on our target languages. This is something that initially threw me a bit. I had spent so many years trying to make my English as flawless as possible that in a way, I took French for granted. But I've come to realise that there’s still so much for me to learn and discover about French. I think that going into translation entails loving your own language as much as your target language(s).
Translation really teaches you to be creative and shows you that there’s a million different ways to express the same idea. I enjoy improving and polishing my writing and sometimes work on a single paragraph – if not a single sentence – for ages. The satisfaction I get from finding the most effective phrasing or the perfect word combination is simply unmatched.
A translation is generally not the kind of task you can complete in one go and then jump to the next straight away. It's a slow process but an incredibly rewarding one. I’m learning to step back from my work and reflect on what I’ve written. I usually try to produce a first draft and then spread the revision process over a couple of days.
I hope to one day dabble in literary translation, but my master's degree course is dedicated to editorial, economic and technical translation. I've surprisingly found myself drawn to legal translation and all things related to contracts, vital records, etc.
(there are literally so many things I could have mentioned: learning to use CAT software, analysing a text and its target audience so as to choose a suitable translating approach, witnessing the way my peers work and learning from them, etc.) Feel free to message me if you have any further questions, I'd love to chat with fellow aspiring translators!
Where are the latvian learners :( langblr please help
I couldn’t find a list of curses/profanity in Latvian so I thought I’d make one. I’m not a native speaker, these are phrases I found on multiple online articles, please correct me if something is wrong!
As confident as I am that I can only sustain long-term interest in languages that have a lot of native speakers and therefore a lot of content to “use” the language for…. I really want to show people that learning a lesser-known or lesser-spoken language can be done and can be really fun.
I know that I’m being completely hypocritical, but I wish there were more language diversity on tumblr. I mean, I can name so many languages that have more than 10 million speakers that no one (not a single soul) on here is learning. But Swedish, Norwegian and Danish all have less than that and I could find hundreds of blogs learning these languages.
I’m not trying to make anyone do anything they don’t want to do, and anyone’s reason for choosing or not choosing a particular language to learn is completely valid. I guess I’m literally just complaining about how boring it is to see only the same 10-ish languages being talked about on here.
Hey guys, just a quick announcement.
I’ve been putting this off for way too long, so I’m just gonna say it now.
This blog is going to be put on Semi-permanent hiatus. The combination of school, other priorities/responsibilities and the fact that I’ve lost a lot of passion for Korean makes it impossible to do anything relating to this blog.
I don’t know if I’ll bring this blog back, and some of you might’ve noticed I stopped posting months ago, when this post was due. I’m honestly surprised that you guys have stuck with my unannounced inactivity for this long.
The studyblr community really helped me improve and make more connections, and I love you all. Keep studying, keep learning, and never give up on your passion!
Love, Mocha.

Hey, guys! I’ve only been doing this blog for a number of months now, and I was really excited to reach 1,000 followers last month. I want to keep making content like this and more kinds of content. That’s why I have put together a little PDF of vocabulary that I think will be helpful. I’ve been working on it for probably over a month now and spent a lot of time making it as clear as possible.
I have included basic nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and emotions. I wrote examples for all the verbs and emotions and many others. I have included example sentences and notes on any words that might not be straightforward when translated into English. It’s in no way a comprehensive list, but it should be a great place to start. Even if you’re not a beginner, check it out. It’s a great way to review. I promise that each and every word will be worth knowing.
The nouns include people, places and things. If you add verbs and adverbs, you’ll know plenty of words to start making all kinds of practice sentences.
Let me know if you like it. I’ve started working on a practice “workbook” kind of PDF to go along with this one. But, if you guys don’t want it, let me know, because I can focus my time on making more posts instead.^^
And it’s probably a bad idea to post this on a Monday, but I can’t wait any longer~ I wanted to share it with you all for so long! I hope you find it helpful!
Get out there and start making practice sentences!!
Without further ado, here is the link.
Best wishes and much love,
Milkcocoah Korean

Negation with 안, -지 않다, 못, and -지 못하다
Hello, everyone! It’s great to be back~ I finished my graduate degree (waiting on my exam results to make it official), and I’ll be moving to my new house just a few hours after this post goes up! That being said, please understand if my posting is a bit irregular for the next week or two, though I will certainly try my best to get things up on time. Anyway, negation!
The other day, someone asked me about negation in Korean, and I realized that I had never tackled it before despite being a pretty simple and highly important part of the language! Let’s check out four ways to negate things in Korean: 안, -지 않다, 못, and -지 못하다.

a darkened auditorium with 264 silent people in the seats. on the stage, me, sitting on a stool, lit by a spotlight, the only light in the theatre. i hold up a photo of my cat, 10 people applaud, two or three hold up photocopies of the same photo, the rest do nothing, watching, waiting.
I love this description of tumblr.
