enjoy a selection of the most insanely-titled, gorgeous mountains in germany.

brocken (the crumb)

höllentalspitzen (peaks of hell valley)

geißfuß (goat foot)

merkur (planet mercury — because why not)

hochwanner (high-up man in a bathtub — ???)

wank (no translation required)

nebelhorn (fog horn)

große arnspitze (sounds like ‘armspitze’, which means large elbow lol)

hochvogel (tall bird)

plattspitzen (flat tops)

biberkopf (beaver head)

großer daumen (huge thumb)

schneefernerkopf (far away snowhead)

mädelegabel (ladies’ fork)

bonus: alpspitze (locals declared this average size 2k rock the literal ‘peak of all alps’ despite the mont blanc being almost twice as high, taunting the french)

language learning is such a personal thing that there is no “right” or “wrong” way of doing it. it’s whatever works on bringing YOU closer to YOUR goal.

you want to watch tv shows but don’t really care for speaking with others? yay!! no speaking practice needed.

you want to learn quickly for an upcoming trip? yay! text book phrases and simple grammar.

you’re a beginner and it’s been 10 years? 2 weeks? 6 months? it doesn’t matter. as long as you are working towards bringing YOURSELF closer to what YOU want to achieve, you have succeeded: you are succeeding; you are doing great.

i find that so much demotivation comes from comparison and/or trying to follow other's advice too closely. if anki decks don't work for you, that's fine! if duolingo works well for you, then use it!

this language learning thing, it should be enjoyed. in the sea full of deceptive polyglot stories and videos on top of videos attempting to understand how to learn languages in "the fastest way possible" sometimes we should sit back and ask ourselves, "when is just learning things, enough"?

with that i hope you all continue working towards your dreams! whether you want to become a translator or just watch a few more movies in your target language, you can do it. i know you have it in you.

I haven’t been really active lately but I came across something I wanted to share.

It’s a free language learning app called Lingo Legend, and I’m honestly a bit surprised by how much I’m enjoying it.

It’s basically just a vocab game where you’re a farmhand. The game is split between working on your farm and going on adventures.

You can choose what theme of vocab — though it doesn’t seem to be possible to put in your own — and set the pace you wish to play. There’s a daily energy limit, which you can refill by watching ads but there are no ad interruptions.

Supported languages are:

French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Dutch, German, Italian and Portuguese.

Maybe I’m just late to the party and everyone already knows about it but I rarely see it talked about.

I reblogged a kickstarter for this game a while back, and it’s in early access on steam now!

If you didn’t see the original post — it’s an immersion based language game good for beginners, the idea being you’re dropped on an island and have to figure out the language.

It has a surprising number of languages too.

Latin-American Spanish

Castilian Spanish

French

Italian

German

Brazilian Portuguese

Tagalog

Dutch

Turkish

I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll get back to you lot when I do. I’ll probably test the Spanish and then maybe try Dutch or Tagalog :-)

Let me know if you’ve tried it and what you think!

one thing about learning languages is that yes, learning in itself is fun but what’s even greater is the fact that all your other interests and hobbies can be looked at with another shade of light. I personally love philosophy and to be able to read another language’s nuances and concepts and understand it more than you ever could with a translation? incredible.
