On an unrelated note, did they get rid of “Classic” Google Translate? I thought there used to be an option to switch between Classic and the AI version and that it used to say “Classic” at the top. That doesn’t seem to be there anymore…

Φαίνεται ότι τα #ελληνικά μαθήματα που παρακολουθώ δεν είναι πολύ καλά. Η γυναίκα λέει ότι «Εγώ θα πρέπει να μαγειρέψω» μπορεί να σημαίνει, “I should cook,” αλλά αυτό μου φαίνεται να σημαίνει, “I will have to cook.” Δεν καταλαβαίνω.

“Me — Dr. John — me; and a great abstraction on whose wide shoulders I like to lay the mountains of blame they were sculptured to bear: me and Fate.”
“‘Me’ must take better care in future,” said Dr. John — smiling, I suppose, at my bad grammar.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Villette

I know I've been saying this so many times but this time (again) I really want to focus on Japanese output practice. Like daily writing 2-3 sentences, journalling, writing posts on Journaly, practicing grammar, general active usage... I want this damn B1 as quick as possible 😂

A side-by-side illustration shows the same young man crossing a shallow forest stream by stepping on large round stones. In the left panel, he is off balance, arms stretched out as he slips on a wet rock, sending small splashes into the water. His face is tense with concentration, and the moment feels uncertain. In the right panel, he has adjusted and found a steadier rhythm, stepping forward with a relaxed smile and upright posture. Warm sunlight filters through the trees in both scenes, lighting the clear water, smooth rocks, and green foliage. The contrast between the two panels highlights learning through error, with the stumble becoming part of his progress.

Learning translations of individual words does seem unavoidable, but it’s frustrating when almost none of my resources offer the opportunity to learn through context. 😒

Mogwaï beers from their Sauce du Chef series, with improbable ingredients
The only correct spelling of Worchechterchershire
Sometimes you just have to try..
The Worcester saison is actually quite good, very red pepper on the nose and then spice to finish. Not an everyday #beer but worth trying. The can also includes a very humble interpretation of the general French difficulty with that sauce's name

**Image description (alt text) for screen readers:** A portrait-format social media card in two sections. The top section has a lilac background. At the top, a thin horizontal line above the text "READ IN" followed by "CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA" in bold. Below that, the large numeral "250" dominates the space, followed by the bold caption "LANGUAGES, ONE BRAZILIAN AI." The bottom section has an off-white, warm cream background. In dark brown, the title reads "Brazilian Linguistic Diversity Platform: Linguistic Data for a Brazilian AI," followed by the author credit "FREITAG ET AL (2025)." At the bottom left, a small abstract logo resembling three diagonal lines with a horizontal base — the Cadernos de Linguística / Abralin symbol. All text is set in a clean, modern sans-serif typeface in dark brown.
Brazil has 250+ languages beyond Portuguese, but most LLMs only train on a fraction of them. Freitag et al. propose a structured linguistic data platform to build a truly inclusive Brazilian AI. doi.org/10.25189/267... #langsky #linguistics
