When you've been studying Hungarian and you see the locative case everywhere. 😜

​Finally I found eye drops that respect vowel harmony. If it were "Optiban" it wouldn't feel right, but Optiben? It's perfect! 👍

I’m not a native speaker, but I’ve heard both versions. I think the first one is informal and used in spoken language, while the second is more formal and typically used in writing. Let’s see if a native speaker can confirm this. 👍😉

Poznaješ li "Svakog gosta tri dana dosta."? 🙂

Yes, this one:

Yo creo que lo más difícil es usar bien el "pitch accent".

Creo que se llaman svršeni i nesvršeni glagoli.

Kupiti vs kupovati
Dati vs davati
Uzeti vs uzimati
Otvoriti vs otvarati
Doći vs dolaziti
Dodati vs dodavati
Ući vs ulaziti
Prepoznati vs prepoznavati
Etc

Hay muchísimos más. Estos son solo unos ejemplos.

Yo me di cuenta de eso cuando empecé a estudiar ruso y polaco. Lo mismo con los verbos en perfectivo e imperfectivo en infinitivo que funcionan más o menos igual en todas las lenguas eslavas.

I saw a sign saying

<-C1 / C2->

and my language-nerd brain was like:

"Ah yes, advanced language learners only.” 🤓

Nope. Just a hallway telling me where to walk...

You've also been there ever since I created it. 🙂👍

Imam mainly using these two.

Well, we need to be in several places. I am also on Reddit.

Spence, you've been there ever since I created it. 👍🙂

I've been using HANLY lately and it’s honestly the best free app I’ve found for learning Chinese characters.

It breaks down each Hanzi into components, shows stroke order, evolution and super helpful mnemonics.

If you’re learning Chinese characters, this app is free and really good.

Kind of. 🙂

Have you seen this film? It’s great for people who are learning Spanish. 🙂

The German word ‘Pferd’ and its Dutch cognate ‘paard’ are horses of mixed breed parentage.

Their common ancestor came from Latin ‘paraverēdus’ (substitute post-horse), a word composed of an Ancient Greek element and a Gaulish one.

Zoom in on my new infographic to learn everything about it:

People freak out when they see German like:
neunzehnhundertneunundneunzig 😱

But imagine English smashed together:
onethousandninehundredandninetynine

Or Spanish:
milnovecientosnoventaynueve

Any language looks confusing written like this.
German just looks scary at first, but it's not! 😉

It’s funny how some people hate the sound of the Spanish “Z” and “C” (before E or I)… but “think” or “thin” in English? No problem. 😏

Polish is tough… unless it’s not your first Slavic rodeo. 😜

I agree!👏👏👏

🤣🤣🤣 Exactly! 👏👏👏

It’s a quick way to show language skills, but I am sure that many recruiters still value TOEFL/IELTS more. It can be used as a boost, but not as the only proof.

What do you think about this, #langsky? 😜
