The fact that the crusty stuff you get in your eyes when you wake up is called "sleep" in English bothers me so much.

In Portuguese it has its own independent word: remela.

Currently learning a new language

And

Fuck

It's hard

But I keep telling myself "I'm a toddler, scratch that, a baby, learning a new language, hearing it for the first time, trying to piece the words together"

It takes native speakers months, no years, to learn their native language.

I've been at it for a month

I'm not gonna get it in a month

It's gonna take me years

But if I'm willing to put the work in.........

Hiya! I'm very new to the studyblr/langblr thing and I'm searching for some blogs to follow to keep myself motivated (and also to not start doomscrolling on the langblr tag) while I try getting back into studying after ages! :D

To keep this post short, the languages on my list are: French (I have a very rusty B1), German, Japanese, and Korean.

Non-language topics I'm interested in: art, anything science but in particular space-related topics (astronomy, astrophysics, etc), ancient history, book reading in general.

What else? I'll turn soon 30 so I'd prefer to interact w/ ppl around my age or anyway around idk 23+... And since this is a sideblog, the follows will come from my main!

I'm an Italian native speaker, and English became a sort of second language in one way or another lmao! I can help with either learning Italian or translating stuff, I think. I also know Latin, but it's been ages since I last used it so I'm very rusty... maybe I should put it on my list too.

Okay, I was supposed to sleep but I thought I should at least share this here too, but to QSMP fans who want to learn Spanish, there's a server for people who are interested to learn that gives free classes and resources as well as language homework.

They have mostly native Spanish speakers who want to learn English but the mods are currently working on a Spanish course for English speakers who want to learn Spanish as well as other possible languages in the future.

I was able to talk with the server owner, and, besides Spanish, the teachers/mods are currently working on possibly adding Portuguese, Korean, and maybe French!

If any of you are interested, you could join the server here:

¡Gracias por tu tiempo!

Happy #EnglishLanguageDay! For a look back at the origins of this language, here’s our video on looking for the Earliest English Word!

When you are learning a new language and you keep mixing formal and informal language

[study-to-rule-the-world]

Does someone happen to know a free app that mainly focus on English pronunciation?

I learnt English mainly through reading and when I have to speak it, I know that my pronunciation makes it difficult to understand what I'm saying, so I'd like to improve :3

how would you translate (into english) "se me hace bola"? (meaning: something overwhelming or that causes you anxiety or discomfort)

(e.g. Se me hace bola esta asignatura)

Does anyone have tips on finding a penpal that’s fluent in your target language? I would love to find a Japanese penpal, especially one who’s learning English so we can both get practice. :)
