for learning different writing systems

omniglot - an encyclopedia with literally any language you could think of including ancient languages

scripts - an app for learning other writing systems with a limited amount for free (you can do 5 minutes a day for free) - has the ASL alphabet, Russian cyrillic, devanagari, Japanese kana, Chinese hanzi, & Korean hangul

Wikipedia is also helpful for learning different writing systems honestly!

pronunciation

forvo - a pronunciation dictionary with MANY languages (literally an underrated resource i use it all the time)

a really helpful video by luca lampariello with tips on how to get better pronunciation in any language

ipachart.com - an interactive chart with almost every sound!! literally such an amazing resource for learning the IPA (however does not include tones)

another interactive IPA chart (this one does have tones) 

language tutoring

italki - there’s many websites for language tutoring but i think italki has the most languages (i have a referral link & if you use it we can both get $10 toward tutoring lol) - they say they support 130 languages!

there’s also preply and verbling which are also good but there aren’t as many options for languages - preply has 27 and verbling has 43

(obviously these are not free but if you have the money i think tutoring is a great way to learn a language!)

getting corrections/input from native speakers

hellotalk - an app for language exchanges with native speakers & they also have functions where you can put up a piece of writing and ask for corrections - honestly this app is great

tandem - language exchange app but unlike hellotalk you can choose multiple languages (although i think hellotalk is a little bit better)

HiNative - supports 113 languages!

Lang-8 - supports 90 languages!

verb conjugation

verbix - supports a ton of languages

Reverso conjugation - only has english, french, spanish, german, italian, portuguese, hebrew russian, arabic, & japanese

apps

duolingo - obviously everybody knows about duolingo but i’m still going to put it here - i will say i think duolingo is a lot more useful for languages that use the latin alphabet than languages with another writing system however they do have a lot of languages and add more all the time - currently they have 19 languages but you can see what languages they’re going to add on the incubator

memrise - great for vocab! personally i prefer the app to the desktop website

drops - you can only do 5 minutes a day for free but i still recommend it because it’s fun and has 42 languages! 

LingoDeer - specifically geared towards asian languages - includes korean, japanese, chinese & vietnamese (as well as spanish, french, german, portuguese and russian), however only a limited amount is available for free

misc

a video by the polyglot Lýdia Machová about how different polyglots learn languages - this video is great especially if you don’t know where to start in terms of self study

LangFocus - a youtube channel of this guy who talks about different languages which is always a good place to start to understand how a specific language works also his videos are fun

Polyglot: How I Learn Languages by Kató Lomb - this book is great and available online completely for free! 

Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner (on pdfdrive) - another great book about language learning

Anki - a flashcard app (free on desktop for any system & free on android mobile - not free on ios mobile) that specifically uses spaced repetition to help you learn vocabulary, it’s got a slightly ugly design but it’s beloved by many language learners & is honestly so helpful

YouTube - literally utilize youtube it is so good.

Easy Languages - a youtube channel with several languages (basically they go around asking people on the street stuff so the language in the videos is really natural) & they also have breakaway channels for german, french, spanish, polish, italian, greek, turkish, russian, catalan & english

there’s also the LanguagePod101 youtube channels (e.g. FrenchPod101, JapanesePod101, HebrewPod101) which are super great for listening practice & language lessons as well as learning writing systems!

What languages do each member of the TOG cast speak ? Who speaks the most languages ? Who is the best at languages ?

Hi nonny!


1. Who speaks the most languages? 


In short, Andy. 


But they get jumbled in her long, long memory. She mixes up tenses, languages that descend from the same source or changed alphabets, and will use outdated or discarded terminology or conjugation from time to time. 


And she’ll go entire weeks forgetting how to speak one language, then when she actually sees that language she’ll remember it. Her grammar is probably awful, she can’t be bothered with formal speech, you will understand her whether you like it or not, formalities be damned.


2. Who is the best at languages? 


Joe, hands down. 


As a poet, merchant and scholar, he is very particular about language, phrasing, appropriate use of terms and tone, and gets super in-depth when he learns a new tongue. He tries writing poetry in each new language in a pretty leather-bound book Nicky got him. May have made some crucial translations himself in the past that helped facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas across the Old World.


He’ll collect literature in that language, read translations of stories he knows by heart, owns copies of his favourite novels in at least seven languages, and set aside hours each day to speak exclusively in that language. In their off time, he and Nicky settle in countries and get part-time jobs just to practice speaking to natives.

(He may have learned Sanskrit just to read classic Indian literature)


Nicky picks up a lot alongside him, but not with that dedication. He keeps his knowledge conversational and his accents are never precise, but he can handle himself pretty well if they get separated. Just don’t ask him to translate anything more difficult than a map, a letter, or a cookbook.

Nicky may or may not understand Romanian better than Andy does.


3. What languages do the Old Guard speak?

As in, what they have in common? Or collectively?

Common tongues include: Latin (Ancient and Medieval), Greek (Modern, Byzantine and Ancient), Arabic (Classical and colloquial varieties), French, English, Spanish, Russian, Persian, Italian and some Portuguese and German.


Collectively they might also have: Hindi, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Amharic, Hebrew, Aramaic, some Maltese, some Amazigh, Occitain and Catalan, some Swahili & Hausa, possibly some Mongolian, and at least one of them (Joe) learned Esperanto for some strange reason.

They’d all have a good grasp of Cantonese and Mandarin but Booker and Nicky never learned the writing system (Andy may have forgotten) and the fact that it’s tonal nearly got them in trouble a few times. Also, Booker’s Persian is somehow better than his Arabic? Joe is deeply confused. Andy argues that it’s just easier.

Nicky dares him to learn Finnish.


That’s excluding Nile. Nile had a few years of Spanish at school and a passing familiarity with French and Dari, and is put on a crash-course of necessary languages by Joe when she joins. He aims to have her speaking Spanish and French like a native, learn Italian at a slower pace by speaking with him and Nicky, and the Russian, Greek and Arabic lessons start slow with their alphabets. It will take maybe a few decades before she has the breath left in her to learn more alphabets and tonal languages.

Nicky will speak to her in Italian and she’ll answer in French sometimes. Booker finds this hilarious.


Poor thing, Joe has her reading Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Homer’s Odyssey, Dante’s Divine Comedy and the works of Tolstoy and Naguib Mahfouz, in their original languages. He’s quizzing her on which vocab words are outdated and which are modern! She just wants to know what the targets they’re spying on are saying and how to order food, not how to write a dissertation!


Andy teaches her all the filthiest insults and swear words and breaks them down, making her laugh herself to tears. Nicky gets annoyed and makes them chop onions for dinner. Andy then starts telling her stories about where these phrases and insults originated and Nicky kicks them out of his kitchen.

New (but old) langblr 🌤

Hej!

So it seems like I’m back. My name is Ida and I used to have the blog @organizedstudy but now I’m here @linguenuvolose (cloudy languages). I felt like I needed a fresh start (and my langblr to be my main blog lmao) so here’s my introduction post I guess?

Some facts about me 🌻

I’m turning 22 at the end of the summer

She/her pronouns 

I live in Sweden but I’m debating moving back to Italy soon

I speak Swedish, English, Italian, French and some Dutch

I would really like to learn German, Maltese and Old Norse

I have bachelor’s degree in Italian and wrote my thesis on Italian loanwords in Swedish

I love linguistics, specifically historical and contact linguistics

I really like plants, art history, excel, cross-stitching and going on walks

This blog 🌺

I’ll do my best to make this blog a fun mix of languages, culture and linguistics! I’ll throw it back to some 2016 langblr shit with vocab lists and sharing my progress and I really hope this new start will make me start studying languages some more again. If you have any questions, post suggestions or requests please feel free to send an ask!

I also have an Instagram and a YouTube channel

Take care!

For 2020 I’ll be following @amillionlanguages ‘s Year of Languages Challenge! I love learning about different languages, and this seemed like a focused & disciplined way to gain a basic understanding of a language without committing to years of study. My main resolution for the new year is to maximise my productivity by breaking the months up into short study routines, so this challenge is a perfect starting point!

The languages I will be studying for this challenge are:

January: Egyptian Arabic dialect

February: Egyptian Arabic dialect

March: Polish

April: Estonian

May: Moroccan Arabic dialect

June: ‘Levantine’ Arabic dialect

July:   Maltese

August:  Turkish

September:  Welsh

October:  Thai

November: Tamil

December:  Spanish

I will very likely be visiting Egypt in February, so I didn’t want to study another language while visiting and forget the Arabic I learnt when I needed it most!!! Other than that, I will be following the original language-a-month formula.

I’m studying Modern Standard Arabic, so I thought this challenge would be a good opportunity to familiarise myself with some of the spoken dialects! I limited myself to 3 dialects so they wouldn’t take over the challenge, but I’ve yet to choose between either the Lebanese, Palestinian or Syrian dialects. I’m going to see what resources I can compile for each and decide closer to June.

I also would love to study some Maltese because a Romance-influenced descendent of Sicilian Arabic sounds fascinating! The little bits I’ve seen of the written language look stunning and I want to learn how the phonology & grammar of a Semitic language adapted to the Latin alphabet.

Estonian and Polish are the first languages of two of my close friends and although they are lovely languages in their own right, I want to learn these to be able to speak a little with them. Hopefully they get a good laugh out of my pronunciation!!!

Welsh is an important language for me, it was my Taid’s native language (he didn’t speak a word of English until he was 12), so I’d love to learn it to keep my family history alive. I live very close to the northern Welsh border, so I’ve always visited and had opportunities to experience the language first-hand, which I can’t say for any other language.

My favourite thing about language learning are the beautiful scripts. Tamil & Thai have drop-dead GORGEOUS scripts, so I will be focusing more on writing in their respective months. I am excited (& intimidated) for these because they are both from language families I have never studied before!!!

I’ve studied a teen tiny bit of Turkish in the past, so I’d like to revisit it. I remember loving the vowel harmony systems and the aesthetic of the written language (I think it’s interesting how a script/writing system fits the language, maybe in this month I will also look into Ottoman Turkish to see how the Arabic abjad fit the language in comparison to the Latin alphabet!).

I have a basic (re: Tourist) knowledge of Spanish, but it has a lovely phonology, is spoken in many countries and has loads of resources for study, so it looks amazing to learn! My dream is to visit Andalusia and see the beautiful Islamic architecture. One day I WILL see the Court of Lions!!!!  I’m interested in seeing the extent of Arabic’s influence on the language, even if it’s limited to arcane vocab.

I am 99% sure I’ll stick to these languages, but I might rearrange which months they correspond to if need be.

Tbh it was hard narrowing it down to 12 languages (and then 11, RIP Nahuatl), but a concise, focused month of study will not only teach me more of a language than looking into one as fancy strikes me, but also how to structure short-term, effective study plans/projects, which is a life skill I NEED to learn this year!

Good luck to everyone else participating in this challenge, I wish you all the best in your language studies and 2020! Happy new year!

Swedish new year vocabulary

This list is inspired by @arabskaya-devushka‘s new year Arabic vocabulary post

Swedish new year is pretty similar to new year in other places but we do have some traditions. One is watching the skit “Grevinnan och betjänten” (link has Swedish subtitles). Another one is a live broadcasting from Skansen (a big outdoors museum about Sweden in Stockholm) with the most important part being when someone recites the poem “Nyårsklockan” right before midnight. This is a tradition since 1895 (but it obviously wasn’t televised back then, it was on the radio between 1934–1955 and has been televised since 1977). Other than these two we party, shoot fireworks and drink champagne. 

gott nytt år - happy new year

alkoholen - alcohol  champagnen - champagne december - December festen/partyt - party freden - peace fyrverkeriet - firework januari - January kyssen - kiss kärleken - love lyckan/glädjen - happiness löftet - resolution midnatten - midnight målet - goals ny - new  nytt år - new year  nyåret - new year (as in a shortened form of new year’s eve) nyårsaftonen - new year’s eve nyårsfesten/nyårsfirandet - new year’s celebration nyårslöftet - new year’s resolution planen - plan tolvslaget - when the clock strikes twelve önskningen - wish  bestämma - to decide dansa - to dance hoppas - to hope fira - to celebrate planera - to plan önska - to wish

Vad gjorde du på nyår? - What did you do on new year? Har du några nyårslöften? - Do you have any new year’s resolutions? Champagnen tog slut långt innan tolvslaget. - The champagne was gone long before the clock struck twelve. 

Other new year vocab posts: Afrikaans, Arabic, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Finnish, Maltese, Norwegian, French, Somali, Turkish and English-French-Spanish (I’m sure there are more but these were the ones I found)

Hi guys! This is my first vocab list inspired by @malteseboy Languages in Maltese, @unapologeticallysunev Languages in Italian and @educatedmillenials Languages in Turkish. I haven’t seen a Polish version anywhere, so here we go!

All the names are masculine. They can be used with a word “język” (m) - a language or separately. Example: język angielski - the English language or just angielski - English

I wanted this list to include both popular and less known languages.

afrykanerski - Afrikaans albański - Albanian amharski - Amharic angielski - English  arabski - Arabic armeński - Armenian azerbejdżański/azerski - Azerbaijani/Azeri baskijski - Basque białoruski - Belarussian bośniacki - Bosnian bretoński - Breton bułgarski - Bulgarian chiński: mandaryński/kantoński - Chinese: Mandarin/Cantonese chorwacki - Croatian czeski - Czech duński - Danish  esperanto - Esperanto estoński - Estonian farerski - Faroese fiński* - Finnish francuski - French  grecki - Greek grenlandzki - Grenlandic  gruziński - Georgian  hebrajski - Hebrew  hindi - Hindi  hiszpański - Spanish  indonezyjski - Indonesian  islandzki - Icelandic  irlandzki - Irish  japoński - Japanese jidysz - Yiddish  kataloński - Catalan  kaszubski - Kashubian kazachski - Kazakh  koreański - Korean  kornijski - Cornish  kreolski - Creole  litewski - Lithuanian  luksemburski - Luxembourgish  łaciński/łacina - Latin  łotewski - Latvian  macedoński - Macedonian  maltański - Maltese  manx - Manx  niderlandzki/holenderski** - Dutch  niemiecki - German  norweski - Norwegian  perski - Persian  polski - Polish  portugalski - Portuguese  prowansalski - Occitan  rosyjski - Russian  rumuński - Romanian  serbski - Serbian  słowacki - Slovak  słoweński - Slovene  staro-cerkiewno słowiański - Old Church Slavonic  szkocki - Scottish  szwecki - Swedish  tagalski - Tagalog  tajski - Thai  turecki - Turkish  ukraiński - Ukrainian  walijski - Welsh  węgierski - Hungarian  wietnamski - Vietnamese  wilamowski*** - Wymysorys włoski - Italian  zulu - Zulu 

Notes: * - be careful with this one, it’s an exception: Islandia - islandzki (Iceland - Icelandic)  but Finlandia - fiński (Finland - Finnish) NOT finlandzki **- niderlandzki includes the language spoken in the Netherlands and all its dialects, the name is for example used on Dutch language books holenderski - refers only to the language spoken in the Netherlands, this name is used on daily basis  *** - I included this language here too, more as a fun fact. It’s spoken only in a village in Southern Poland and it’s an endangered language, you can read this interesting story here or watch a video to hear the sound of it here

When referring to languages, these adjectives are used in the masculine form with the articles il, lo or l’ (e.g. il francese, lo spagnolo, l’italiano).

*In everyday language, Dutch is most commonly translated with olandese, an adjective deriving from “Holland”; however, there is also a more general term, i.e. neerlandese, which includes both the Dutch and the Flemish varieties [source: here].

**Both are equally accepted (personally, I hear the form rumeno a lot more - I think I’ve only read romeno in the news) [source: here].

***Again, both forms are mentioned in the most influentian Italian dictionaries. This duality stems from the fact that, in the past, the stress was on the I in Ukrainian, but in Russian it was on the A. Nowadays, as the form Ukraìna is used in Russian as well, the most correct form would be ucraino; however, the other form is still widely used [source: here].
