Had a nightmare in Portuguese and woke up agitated at 3am thinking in full French. Turned on the bed and saw I had a message. I spent the next 5 minutes staring at my cellphone trying to make sense of what seemed like nonsensical keymashing -until I realised I was trying to understand Spanish with an English focused brain. I just, what

truly, what

(native language is Spanish btw lmao)

Hei 💕

I started to learn Norwegian and I'm looking for people who are also learning Norwegian so that we can talk about resources, Norwegian culture, TV series, films and so on... and who knows maybe we will become friends and one day talk in Norwegian!! If you are interested please text me! Have a lovely day ❤️

Another thing that may help you learning and practicing vocabularies, is describing images you find online (or you took). Just take any random image and state each color + objects, or even describe what you see around you in the same way (forniture, stationery, clothing... just choose a topic and go). You can practice singulars/plurals, nouns' genders, articles, adjectives (little/big, near/far), colors and whatever you want, according on how you feel and what you have just learnt.

Just pls remember to always save your texts especially if you're writing here on tumblr. Mine just got suddenly eaten away and I have to start it all over (which may be a good thing cause I get the chance to re-think about everything, but still...)

Studying Japanese and trying to figure out my game plan for the next few days before my classes start again.

First, I want to address the idea that learning new languages is easier after the first one. I was raised close to mono-lingual (caveat: with one language spoken but exposure to another which I never learned) and am an intermediate Chinese speaker due to, in my mind, plain hard work. What I'm trying to say, is that my second language (Chinese) was something I learned as an adult.

Learning new languages is absolutely much easier after the first. It's true.

I'm going through all the grammar in my textbook before brute-forcing the full vocabulary used in each section. Why? Because that's what worked for me in Mandarin.

Really, the meta of learning languages is built by experience. I spent almost a decade on/off failing to learn. In the last couple of years, I went from largely beginner with some exposure to intermediate. I figured out what worked for me, and now I'm applying it to Japanese.

The first 5 years of my language learning wasn't spent learning much of the language- it was partly passive: forced exposure to the language to build roots. The active-time itself was spent learning how to learn, the new language was just the media by which I learned how to fail.

I'm not saying grammar-before-vocab works for everybody. I'm just saying it took a long time for me to make procedures about how I learn and to build the discipline to follow it. (And, make procedures that are fun to follow!)

If you're working on your first new language, don't despair. It does get easier. Learn to learn.

Not sure how many responses I'll get, but I need help learning a new language. Specifically, it's the Tamil they speak in Tamil Nadu. I have a text book, but I haven't touched it in forever, so I'm hoping for an app or something I can do on my phone.

I've looked at things like Babel and Rosetta Stone, but they don't have Tamil. :/ Any suggestions are welcome!

Does anyone know somewhere I could learn Kurdish? I’m not really looking to get it to a conversational level, I just have a friend who speaks it and I’d like to be able to let them talk in their native language more since they said they don’t get to enough!

Which is better: “imparo l’italiano” or “sto imparando l’italiano”? Can you give a little overview of when to use which tense (well, technically aspect)?

"Sto imparando" means you're currently learning sth (literally translates as "I am learning *these days/rn*"), so especially if during this period of time you're studying Italian, I'd translate it using this form and not the simple present (=imparo l'italiano).

The progressive gerund (stare + gerundio) talks about something that is happening in a specific moment like e.g. I'm writing this post = sto scrivendo questo post; but it can be used also for actions you may repeat in a short amount of time (like studying Italian these days/months/lately). It's like answering to the English "What are you up to now/these days?"

The indicative simple present is more general, I could see that as e.g. Imparo l'italiano per andare in vacanza a Roma = I learn italian to be able to go to Rome on vacation. The acception you're giving with the simple present here is similar to "I made this decision of learning Italian" = Ho deciso di imparare l'italiano. But it doesn't refer to a specific time frame: if you used the progressive gerund instead, you'd have made it clear that you have started (and currently are) learning Italian these days.

Ofc present simple still indirectly refer to present actions, but again the time is not directly set. e.g. Scrivo questo post = I write this post (now? partly now and partly later? tomorrow? who knows...). If you want to state a timing with simple present, you better state it clearly using "domani"=tomorrow or "il prossimo mese"= next month, or other time-related sentences similar to these. e.g. Adesso scrivo questo post = Now I write this post [triggering: it says "now", but you're talking about the decision you took of writing a post: like you're sitting at your desk and opening your tabs; but you're not really saying you're writing it in this moment -you are going to do that in few seconds-. To say you are "doing" your action, use the progressive gerund: (adesso) sto scrivendo questo post = (in this exact moment) I am writing this post].

Hope this helps! Remember to check the grammar masterpost, verbi section, for more insights about moods and tenses (or send another ask)!

Lesbian Themed Reading Lesson on Duolingo

Of all the languages ​​I have studied on Duolingo, I haven't found a reading lesson with an LGBT theme except for French. As you can see from the photo, they both are women and they love each other. I like this.

Je t'aime!
