"My speaking skills suck, I should really spend more time working on them!" *Continues to exclusively work on reading*

#language library #langblr #look in my defence i am reviewing vocab in this way. and ultimately i will use that vocab when i'm eventually speaking

Trying to track down the history of why Norwegian and Danish use æ and ø while Swedish uses ä and ö and all I'm getting is "Norwegian and Danish use æ and ø while Swedish uses ä and ö" and I'm like YES. I KNOW. BUT WHY. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN. WHY IS SWEDEN THE REBEL CHILD.

#language library #clearly it has something to do with german but like why did sweden go down that route instead of copying its scandinavian brethren??#apparently this change occurred around the 1700s and the hansa league fell apart in the 1600s so can't blame that #but did sweden have more contact with germany generally maybe?#someone who knows swedish vs danish/norwegian history help #swedish #svenska #nordic languages #hmm okay so looks like the change from æ and ø to a + small e and o + small e occurred earlier so could've been german influence ig?#i can't really find a clear explanation as to *why* though

me: *doesn't practice my productive language skills* me: why aren't my productive language skills getting better :(

Commented on someone's post on HelloTalk and also told them the post contained no errors, the English was perfect, and their response was "well I used AI to write it :)" and ????? I'm so ??? confused ????? why the fuck are you on a language learning app if you're just gonna use AI to speak the language for you anyway?????

Icelandic is right about þ and ð. We should bring those characters back into English.

#language library #langblr #lingblr #reform will never happen for many reasons but we can all dream of living in a world where english orthography makes sense #'c' should also be used exclusively to represent the tʃ sound and replace instances where it's s/k with those letters #church -> curc. instance -> instans. cat -> kat #bc i am TIRED of explaining to my students that c and g change sounds depending on what letter follows them (sometimes)#we've been doing c/g as s/j this term and then one of them read give as jive

Noticed something interesting about my accent when teaching the other day. For a bunch of reasons (international community, using teaching materials that primarily make use of US English, students no understanding my accent) my accent tends to shift closer to US American when I'm teaching, BUT! Not consistently! When I'm teaching high-energy classes with rowdier students, I Americanise more. When I'm teaching quiet, shy classes I revert to being terribly British.

#language library #chough chatterings #and when i'm teaching really young students i go more filipino #probably bc i'm modelling myself on my filipino colleague who is amazing with the little kids #not sure about the americanising though? maybe it just feels more lively and friendly and fun #whereas british english feels more gentle and softer and less obtrusive #anyway just a fun little observation
