Excerpt from Kató Lomb’s “Polyglot: How I Learn Languages”

[thetinylangblr]

Me: I want to know languages

Person: then study

Me: no study. Only know.

[thetinylangblr]

me: okay this summer I will study the languages I want, I will download online grammar and vocabulary books, I will look for online sources and actually open the duolingo app

[thetinylangblr]

Tbh the idea that German is an angry or ugly language is just French propoganda to divert attention away from the fact that French sounds exactly like when your dog is choking on some plastic wrapper he found somehow

OKAY GUYS I DON’T KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN DONE BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT BILINGUIS. ya’ll, this site is amazing. it’s a site of free, public-domain bilingual books. and there are SO MANY LANGUAGES. it’s not just french and spanish, but also dutch, mandarin, ukrainian, esperanto and way more. there are only five books but they are all classics and they are all amazing! 

see that? that’s Alice in Wonderland in Esperanto and English. AND IT GETS BETTER. in certain languages, YOU CAN PLAY THE AUDIOBOOK ALONG WITH IT AS YOU READ. it’s also worth noting that you don’t have to have it in english and another language. you can have it in any two of the languages offered. 

anyway, here it is. so please guys, spread the knowledge, because it’s totally great and i have a new addiction. 

[thetinylangblr]

I understand it’s useful to have a lingua franca when the world is so connected and all but benefits aside it’s really really sad to see other languages either die out or slowly lose their appeal in the minds of young people because English is seen as cooler or simply more important…..like could it just go away please

[thetinylangblr]

do u ever get too into your own head and you start doubting you can speak your target language so you have to say some random shit out loud just to make sure you still know it

[thetinylangblr]

me: *sees a small child*

me: i envy your young brain’s plasticity for natural language acquisition

[thetinylangblr]

Hey.

Learning languages is fun, remember? You are doing this because you like it, remember? This is not stressful. This is fun. 

Learning new vocabulary words is FUN. 

Hearing your target language is FUN. 

Memorizing stuff is FUN. 

Also, slow the fuck down. Ain’t no way you’re gonna be fluent tomorrow, so you might as well enjoy where you’re at now. 

Okay?

Okay.

-sigh-

Now go drink a glass of water, and chill the fuck out, ya silly. 

[thetinylangblr]

Bilingual culture is having an academic vocabulary in the exact same language in which you can’t remember the names of any fruits or household appliances.
