cherry blossoms

the roads are lined with cherry blossoms right now,

creating a beautiful pink path.

But soon,

it will all be over,

as cherry blossoms only stay in full bloom for a short time.

Today, it feels like we’re in the middle of spring.

The cherry blossoms are starting to fall, and the roads are lightly pink with petals, but they’re no longer sparkling like before.

Anyone speaking/learning Norwegian?

I want to join a free course next semester and I’m wondering if I’m a fool and it’s impossible to learn or if it’s doable. Considering that I’m an Italian who learnt German and Ancient Greek I think I would now he scared only by learning Russian, Finnish or Chinese/Japanese (and probably more languages on the same difficulty level which I am not even aware of) but I really want to learn Norwegian!

Can someone help and share their experience?

Gimme all them etymologies

"Irish doesn't have a word for please, you have to say if it be your will" buddy do I have news for you about "please"

"Irish doesn't have a word for hello you have to use a shorthand religious blessing" buddy do I have news for you about "goodbye"!

"In Polish the word for car is that which walks by itself" BUDDY what do you think an AUTOMOBILE is?

you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

Recently, while looking at the Irish word for "vegetarian", I recognized the word "feoil" as meaning 'meat', which of course made me curious about the meaning of the second part of the word. I was not disappointed by what I found out.

Routine for improving my listening skil

【Solo Life in Japan】Still getting used to living in Tokyo 🛋🌱

Recently, I’ve been focusing on improving my listening skills.

One way I’m learning is by watching YouTube videos spoken in English by foreigners.

Lately, I’ve been watching a channel featuring an Australian woman who begin to live in Japan.

She talks about her daily life in English.

I admire her because she continues working for her Australian company while living abroad.

That kind of lifestyle is something many Japanese people can’t easily do, since working abroad with a Japanese company can be very strict and limited.
