Randomly wanting to pick up Russian again.

For some reason a bird speaking Japanese is mildly off putting.

> Literal translation

Bird:“ ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”

Bird: “What’s wrong?”

Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”

Bird: “Okay, understood.”

Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]

Bird: “Okay, I understand!”

Owner: “Got it.”

> That’s clearly some sort of Pokemon.

> Off-putting? It’s like birds were meant to speak Japanese!

> For some reason it’s never occurred to me that birds can mimic languages other than English. It’s so cool, though!

[kieletlanguage]

When you successfully translate from one language to another without searching for the words

[exit-the-king]

Est-ce qu’un jour je serai assez mature pour ne plus rire chaque fois que le mot ‘bouchée’ est employé dans la langue anglaise ?

Non. Probablement pas, non.

@linguistisch can you confirm this???

[space-flannel-deactivated201707]

imagine being a totally random dude and all you want to do is catch some fish and then you get stranded in this weird, gigantic foreign kingdom and they make you the utmost authority on your language and literally all you wanted was to catch fish

[eelhound]

This strange sound can mean ‘yes’ in the Swedish language.

I have a friend who is fluent in French, Spanish, and English, but she didn’t want to learn a new language during high school so she took French and pretended she didn’t know it. Long story short, her first year didn’t count because the principal found out so he made her take Spanish and when I walked her to Spanish on the first day, she walked in and said, “Hoe-La uh-me-goats!” And personally I believe she might pull this off

[racingbarakarts]

Update: after two weeks of pulling it off, the teacher asked her to read something in Spanish and she forgot that she was supposed to sound inexperienced, so she read the whole thing in perfect Spanish. Her counselor is now considering transferring her to German

Venting? What's that

Venting is the act of relieving your stress, anger, or pent up feelings, usually in the form of words.

[polyglotfrog]

Are you gay? Just curious

I am not gay. I am straight.

[polyglotfrog]

Howd you learn to speak so many languages? I think thats so cool, my first language was spanish but going into school english took over so I understand and can speak but not perfectly haha. I'm learning chinese in school and plan to continue that in college, languages just seem to click a little easier to me than average. I found your blog and i felt the need to send a weird message like this but anyway, nice blog dude :)

Thanks! And legit just practice. You have to be dedicated to learn a language. I've seen many cases where people who don't care just struggle to learn. You have to care to learn.
