I left school as a 🇬🇧 monoglot at 16. I now speak 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇩🇪🇵🇹🇮🇹 Lingala, Kongo, Lari and Kituba (10, since you ask). But what IS the language secret? Part of the answer is in the chart below, but there is more. Please help a first-time author with a RT! 😉😀 amazon.com/dp/B09HFSN7Y5
Grammatical gender has very little to do with logic. In Berlin and Vienna the sun ('Sonne') is feminine and the moon ('Mond') is masculine. In Paris and Brussels the sun ('soleil') is masculine and the moon ('lune') is feminine. The Language Secret
Falsche Freunde. German words that don't mean what you think they do. Aktuell = current ≠ actual Eventuell = possible ≠ eventual Gift = poison ≠ gift Handy = mobile phone ≠ handy Stuhl = chair ≠ stool There are many more. Can you add to the list? The Language Secret
In Germany, interest in Latin has been declining nationwide. In 2008 more than 830k young people there were still learning Latin at school By 2021/22 that figure had dropped to 539k. Why Latin is still worth learning: dw.com/en/why-latin-s…
Language acquisition is an intuitive process, like that of children when they develop their mother tongue. Language learning, by contrast, is a conscious process that involves studying rules and structure. A language app needs to combine both approaches. theconversation.com/languages-are-…
Multilingualism should not just be the preserve of those who grew up in a multicultural environment. Anybody can learn multiple languages if they know The Language Secret.
The colours in 🏴 and 🇩🇪: Red, rot; white, weiß; blue, blau; green, grün; grey, grau; black, schwarz. Is ‘schwarz’ an interloper in our list? It's not like 'black'. But it IS related to our word 'swarthy', meaning ‘dark’. Almost every word in 🇩🇪 has a connection with 🏴
The American war deprived the British government of the use of its American colonies as a destination for convicted criminals. So they now therefore embarked on a programme of sending convicts to the far-away coast which had been charted by James Cook. theneweuropean.co.uk/when-english-t…
The headlines here are all about Latin, but drill a little deeper and there are some disturbing figures. German ranks third among languages taught in schools, so in how many schools is it taught? 2.7 percent. We need to talk about learning German. express.co.uk/news/history/1…
Latin is now the fourth most popular language taught in UK primary schools, behind French, Spanish and German, but crucially ahead of all the other European languages and Mandarin. Veni, vidi, vici. express.co.uk/news/history/1…
Mount Everest. People prepare for years, spend vast sums of money, exhaust themselves for weeks in the climb, and repeatedly put their lives at risk. Others would rather just land on its summit in a helicopter. AI versus human translators: a discussion theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Any chance of retweeting my pinned post? Help a first-time author! You know it makes sense. Go raibh míle maith agat, diolch, dziękuję, danke, bedankt, merci, gracias, obrigado, grazie. And: natondi yo (Lingala), ntondele (Lari), matondo na nge (Kongo). Add 'thanks' in your TL!
Scots is “one of three native languages spoken in Scotland today” along with English and Scottish Gaelic. However there is ongoing debate as to whether or not Scots is a language or dialect. Make up your own mind: scotsman.com/heritage-and-r…
