What kind of bullshit is this language? Apparently, “pikapikaa” (translates to something like “quickly”) is a real finnish standard language word. And not even only when Pikachu says it.

Hello! So I decided to make a directory for langblrs because there are plenty of them for studyblrs but hardly any for langblrs. The langblr directory can be found here and you can get added to it by sending me the following information:

1. What’s your langblr’s url? 2. What is your native language? 3. What languages are you studying?

Please spread this post around so more langblrs will be aware of the directory!

Fox Village

This fox village is called Zao Fox Village and it’s located in Japan’s Miyagi. The fox village is a sanctuary for about 100 free-roaming foxes. Visitors can purchase food to feed the foxes for the equivalent of about a dollar. Although foxes can be tamed and made into pets, the sanctuary doesn’t recommend petting its residents or feeding them by hand. (Source)

How do you know you're not just in a lucid dream?

I don’t, and neither do you.

concept: I’m able to fluently express myself in a wide range of languages. The eyes of native speakers lighten up when they hear me speak their language, complimenting me on my skills. I have now access to culture and people in a way I never had before.

Hey, Langblr!

So I started making this directory of the availability of different languages in language learning apps/websites. I figured that this would help a lot of us in our never-ending hunt for resources. The objective is to help in determining which apps/sites your target language is available in.

If you’d like to help in adding in languages/resources, the link is right here! Feedback is also much appreciated!

Fun things to say when someone tells you they’re going to go to the bathroom:

Stay safe

Congratulations

That’s what they all say

Different strokes for different folks

I hope you have the time of your life

But you have so much to live for

Please explain

fun fact: procrastination happens to animals too. it’s a naturall thing. animal equivalents for scrolling tumblr include:  - hamsters starting to wash their faces in inaproppriate situations  - hyenas stopping everything and starting to dig holes in the ground.  - seagulls starting to ruffle their feathers instead of doing important things this happens for two reasons:  1) an animal is in the situation where none of the standard scenarious it has are fitting, so it does the next best thing  (example: hamsters were put in a vibrating bowl, they couldn’t run or attack, so in about a minute they stopped everything and started washing their faces.) 2) an animal has two conflicting instincts fighting for dominance, so the third one, usualy suppressed by them, kicks in. (example: when two hyenas meet at the border of their territories, they have an instinct to protect their own territory conflict with an instinct not to cross someone else’s. they don’t know if they need to attack or leave, so both start digging holes in the ground. example: a seagull sitting on the nest needs to protect her children, but also has to go get some food. instead a seagull settles for ruffling her feathers for two hours.) with humans it’s usually the second reason. (example: I’m tired and I want to go to sleep, but I should write an essay for tomorrow. both these things are important, so I’m procrastinating them by writing this post.) nature is beautiful. I’m gonna go to sleep now.
