Bad News: Our boss locked the keys inside the building.

Good News: We didn’t have to wait around for a locksmith.

Bad News: My boss finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory™. I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute girls.

Good News: A cute girl saw me do it.

Bad News: It was Maggie, and since she’s already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a fawn that was just too damn small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she’ll never think I’m cool no matter what I do. It’s too late. She knows.

There are million dollar blockbuster movies that were less entertaining than the rollercoaster this post just took me on.

australia sucks but at least our politicians aren’t treated as celebrities and we can tell them to fuck off at the grocery store

[sparklylanguageoverlangblr]

To be perfectly honest, we do that in britain.

[dontbreakthechain]

Sometimes I wonder why non English speakers are like this

[vrabia]

because it’s a funny harmless joke at the expense of the world’s current lingua franca, whose native speakers often make fun of the ‘weird’ accents and pronounciation of people who very likely speak at least one more language then they do.

tHANK YOU, sCIENCE SIDE,

[stele3]

Actually that’s the language side—Japanese language, to be exact. We’re still waiting to hear from the science side of Tumblr as to how and why a tree would grow in this manner.

[claudia-donovan-clone]

Trees grow in the direction of light, so clearly this tree had light in a strange loopy pattern during growth.

Plant follow light, light make loopy loop, plant go loopy loop.

[astranaut]

thank u science side

Is french a logical language that one can learn after a reasonable amount of time and effort studying it.

No

Am I going to try anyway and have a breakdown at 3am over an irregular verb

Absolutely

[ash-is-a-map]

hi, you're the scum of the earth -from, a minor who is disgusted by the prospect of adults seeing me in a sexual way. have a terrible day x

I humbly disagree about being the scum of the earth-From, a person who believes calling other people the scum of the earth for their attraction isn’t the best way to go about things. Have a great day!

[sparklylanguageoverlangblr]

you're a piece of shit :) have a terrible day, bye now!! :)

who doesn’t love languages? or free resources? or free! language! resources!?

i was on duolingo, reading a discussion, and saw a link to a free swedish grammar book! and when i checked the website, there were loads of free language books in downloadable pdf form just waiting to be put in a tumblr post. i even used proper capitalisation for the book names! but that was shortlived, as i have a nonchalant online presence to consider. 

Arabic- Grammar of Modern Standard Arabic, Colloquial Arabic (Levantine), Arabic: An Essential Grammar Cantonese- Basic Cantonese, Intermediate Cantonese Catalan- Colloquial Catalan Croatian- Colloquial Croatian Czech- Czech: An Essential Grammar Danish- Colloquial Danish Dutch- Dutch: A Comprehensive Grammar, Dutch: An Essential Grammar English- Colloquial English, English: An Essential Grammar Estonian- Colloquial Estonian French- Colloquial French, Modern French Grammar, (another) Modern French Grammar, Student Grammar: French Georgian- Georgian: A Learner’s Grammar German- Basic German, German: An Essential Grammar, Intermediate German, Modern German Grammar, (another) Modern German Grammar, German Synonyms Greek- Essential Grammar: Modern Greek Hebrew- Modern Hebrew: An Essential Grammar Hungarian- Hungarian: An Essential Grammar Icelandic- Colloquial Icelandic Irish- Basic Irish, Colloquial Irish, Intermediate Irish Italian- Basic Italian Grammar, Colloquial Italian, (another) Colloquial Italian, Intensive Italian Workbook, Modern Italian Grammar, Modern Italian Grammar Workbook Japanese- Colloquial Japanese Norwegian- Colloquial Norwegian Polish- Intermediate Polish Portuguese- Portuguese: An Essential Grammar, Portuguese of Brazil Romanian- Romanian: An Essential Grammar Russian- Colloquial Russian, Contemporary Russian, Intermediate Russian, Russian Grammar Scottish Gaelic- Colloquial Scottish Gaelic Serbian- Serbian: An Essential Grammar Swahili- Colloquial Swahili Swedish- Colloquial Swedish, Swedish: An Essential Grammar Tamil- Colloquial Tamil Thai- Thai: An Essential Grammar Turkish- Turkish: A Comprehensive Grammar Yoruba- Colloquial Yoruba

obvious disclaimer: i don’t own any of the rights etc etc to any of the above etc etc, i just thought i’d share.

and while i’m here, if you want an actual free online course to do, FutureLearn has some language ones (as well as lots of other disciplines too!) i did a few modules of their Italian For Beginners which i really had fun doing and i learnt a lot of the basics- unfortunately they don’t offer those at the moment, but do check back as they introduce new courses all the time! 

Open University offers loads of free courses, including some language ones. i haven’t done any language specific ones through OU, but i have done a few history ones which i enjoyed (although personally, i prefer the format and structure of FutureLearn, if i’m being honest). 

Open Culture seems to have lots of language courses (48 languages, to be precise), although i have never personally used their resources they have been recommended to me, and they seem to offer a lot of languages not previously covered by any of the above, so it may be worth a look! 

YouTube and Spotify also offer some good visual/aural learning resources which really helps with pronunciation, but you’d have to check for your specific target language. i am currently trying to learn swedish and italian (although i have fallen dreadfully behind in the latter) and i’ve found some useful things on both!

How To Digest Books Above Your “Level” And Increase Your Intelligence

[wordsnquotes-online]

Keep reading

[spinelli-a]

This is great. Recently purchased a Carl Jung book. I love everything in it, but it’s a really hard read 😣…I keep putting it down and trying to figure out how to overcome my issues with reading comprehension.

After this, I know it’s my not my issues that are holding me back…it’s my whole reading process/purpose. Definitely starting over and applying this.
