Online Courses for Language Lovers (that aren’t languages)

I wanted to let fellow language learners know about some great courses that I think will help you out since they cover topics that aren’t typically taught in language classes. They cover various topics such as culture, linguistics, and psychology that will round out your language education. They are all MOOCs which means that they are free online courses available to the public. 

Exploring Language and Cultures:  You will learn about the benefits and challenges of meeting people from different cultures, what it means to be plurilingual and pluricultural, and the ways in which language and human communities shape each other. You also will look at the role of intercultural competence at the workplace, reflect on the use of English as lingua franca in international contexts, and get a flavor of the skills involved in language-related professions such as translation and interpreting.

What is language?: An applied linguistic perspective: This serves as an introduction to the discipline of applied linguistics. It examines what is meant by ‘language’, what its main characteristics are, and how human language differs from communication between other animals. It also asks whether theoretical knowledge about language can be applied to professional practice.              

Intercultural Communication: This free online course will help you better understand cross-cultural complexity; cultivate your awareness of your own and others’ cultural identities; highlight some notable variations in communication styles and cultural values; and signpost paths towards building your intercultural competence.

Multilingual Practices: In this course, you will identify central aspects around societal and individual multilingualism, evaluate the benefits of multilingualism of both minority and migrant speakers, identify issues that arise when people who do not share the same languages meet, critically evaluate multilingual language policies for both migrant and minority languages, and investigate multilingual practices.

Miracles of Human Language: An Introduction to Linguistics: This course introduces you to linguistics, featuring interviews with well-known linguists and with speakers of many different languages. Join us to explore the miracles of human language!

Introduction to Linguistics: In this course, you’ll get an introduction to the main approaches used in linguistic research, including linguistic experiments and discourse analysis. You’ll find out about the key methods used in linguistic descriptions, and some of the everyday ‘myths’ about language. You’ll discover how linguistic researchers turn our ideas about language into linguistic knowledge.

The Bilingual Brain: This course explores the brain bases of bilingualism by discussing literature relevant to differences in age of initial learning, proficiency, and control in the nonverbal, single language and dual-language literature.  Participants will learn about the latest research related to how humans learn one or two languages and other cognitive skills. Course starts May 5, 2019. 

Introduction to Lexical and Semantic Typology:  The aim of the course is to obtain the idea of the lexicon as a complex system and to get the methodology of the typological approach to the lexicon cross-linguistically, as well as to learn about the general mechanisms of semantic shift and their typological relevance. Course starts May 5, 2019.

Language Revival: Securing the Future of Endangered Languages: Learn how the world’s endangered languages are revived and why this process is critical to preserving cultural identity.  Course is archived but the material is accessible.

Introduction to Applied Linguistics and TESOL: You’ll explore real-world examples of applied linguistics, such as forensic linguistics and language assessment. You’ll look at the field’s impact on important issues - for example, reducing gender bias in language use and simplifying legal language. You’ll find out what applied linguists do through a series of case studies. Specialists will work through problems and show you applied linguistic research methods to solve them.

I’m fluent in portuguese. What now?

This post contains a list of brazilian documentaries, movies, TV shows, books, and novelas(we don’t call them telenovelas) that’ll help you understand how our language is affected by accents, regionalisms, levels of scholarity, slangs, and such.

Don’t feel bad if you can’t understand something. We can’t either, sometimes. I’ve watched O Auto da Compadecida maybe 6 times until I could comprehend everything. That happens mostly because I’m from Rio and the story takes place in Paraíba(very far from here). Also because of income differences, lifestyle differences, etc.

Click on the titles to watch it. I’ll link it with english subtitles whenever possible. They might not be in HD, but it’s not hard to find a version in better quality.

This list will have tagged such as:

S - slang-heavy; R - heavy in regionalisms and idiomatic expressions; LS - low scholarity effects on the language; G - gringos(foreigners) speaking portuguese; OT - old-timey portuguese.

Brazil is very fortunate to be rich in works with such cultural representation like these, so, eventually, this list might get a part 2. My faves will be tagged with a *

Enjoy.

Subordinating Conjunctions in German

As part of 100 Days of Languages

Day 16: learn 1 grammatical concept. (I already knew how to use these, but now I have a better grasp of them)

While writing sentences in German you can use a subordinating conjunction to join a main clause (Hauptsatz) with a subordinate clause (Nebensatz). When you use one, the word order of the sentence is changed sending the verb to the end of the sentence. There’s many subordinating conjunctions, I’ll go through some.

Using the word: embora

In all my years of language learning no word has ever confused me more than ‘embora’ so in case anyone out there is having the same problem that i had i decided to make this post! Ok so embora basically has 2 meanings: 1.Even though/ but 2. To go/leave The first meaning is easy to understand there’s not much to say about it so I’ll just give a few examples:

Eu gosto de comer carne embora não coma muita (I like eating meat even though I don’t eat much)

Eu preciso de fazer isso embora nao vou a face-lo (I need to do that but I’m not going to)

it’ can be interchangeable with ‘mesmo’ and ‘ainda’

NOW the second meaning is what I found so confusing and I don’t even know why, because it’s pretty simple:

preciso ir embora

vamos embora

i thought embora meant to leave and yes, it does mean to leave BUT it involves the action of leaving a place to go somewhere else or do something else, it refers to stopping what you are doing and replace it with something else.

So that’s it! now vai embora!

The best feeling ever is when you randomly try to read something in your target language and actually understand what was written and you get that !!!!!✨🌟🎉🎊🎇🎆!!!!! feeling in your brain.

GERMAN YOUTUBERS MEGAPOST

Hey German Study Buddies,

I think watching German youtube for the past year or so has allowed my German to improve so much. Adopting the German colloquialisms and listening to the fluency and grammar structures in the videos has really helped me so so much! For anybody learning a language: youtube is the best!

Not only is it fun to watch the many funny videos or hauls (yes…I have obsession with clothing hauls), but also you can learn so much by just continually listening to the German. Anyway, it took me a while to find these German youtubers so I thought I would share them in one big master post here:

PS: if you know any other good German youtubers let me know and I’ll add to the list! :) PPS: I put a little heart next to my favourite ones x
