One thing I haven’t heard being talked about yet is that you just feel completely differently about music when you actually understand the lyrics. Some french songs I used to LOVE just don’t hit the same anymore, and others are so much more special because I can understand the gist upon the first listen. Persistent language learning never runs out of rewards <3

💌: inside-my-phone format is back!🍃 do you agree/disagree with my MTL rankings? what motivates you? 👀
i can be a more empathetic, understanding, and supportive person who makes sure to only cuss people out in languages they don't understand so that their feelings aren't hurt ❤️
i can talk to more people who will probably think i'm an idiot because of how badly i speak their language 👄
i can nurture my self-confidence/-esteem as long as i don't think too hard about how much i don't know 🥰
i can read more books, articles, people arguing on the internet, etc. 📚
i can travel to foreign countries more easily until someone asks me to translate something important and i mess up and land us both in prison or something ✈️
i can unlock new work opportunities until someone asks me to translate something important and i mess up and land us both in prison or something 💼
i can multitask better even though i shouldn't even be doing it in the first place 🤹‍♀️
i can watch my favorite shows/listen to my favorite songs without subtitles/translations so that my brain rot can continue in peace 📺
i can, on the other hand, stop losing brain cells?? 🧠
i can eavesdrop on more people, probably at the grocery store 🙉
i can show off at work and other places where it is appropriate to show off irrelevant skills ✨
sex appeal?? 🥵

Really enjoying Duolingo’s gradual progression from “the blue duck wears a big hat” to “if Matthew doesn’t make good on his alimony payments then I’m calling a hitman”

Favorite VERY BASIC Comprehensible Input Sources I’ve Found (all free)
These are all for Italian and Arabic (MSA + Levantine dialect) and suitable for A1! I’ve found the very early stages are the hardest to find stuff for but also when it’s the most boring to be confined to flashcards and memorizing so hopefully this helps. Also it keeps me from losing these links.
Italian:
Curioso come George (Italian Curious George, honestly a lot of kids shows can get tiring but Curious George doesn’t hit that “annoying” pitch while still being simple) (link is to one episode but you can find tons in the related vids) (also segments are themed so you can find ones that roughly correlate to a unit of vocab like weather or clothes)
Ardea Digitale Schoolbooks (schoolbooks for children that you can download as PDFs along with workbooks/worksheets)
Arabic (MSA)
Read Learn Play Arabic (cannot speak highly enough of this one it’s so good and there’s so much and idk how it isn’t talked about more)
Cartoon Network MENA (good just because the material is recognizable, obviously usefulness of vocab/level is gonna vary by show)
Arabic (Levantine Dialect)
Sesame Street! Aka Ahlan Simsim. (Some segments are more advanced than others obviously but it’s incredible for learning the sound of the dialect and is also not grating for adults imo) (free on YouTube)
Lingualism Diaries (not nearly as beginner friendly as Read Learn Play but definitely doable within a few weeks assuming you know the alphabet) (also has audio versions)
I highly recommend lingualism.com for a ton of Arabic materials in all sorts of dialects/levels but they’re mostly paid (not expensive! But not free) and this post is meant to compile free stuff.

Language Study Resource Recommendation: Internet Archive’s Open Library website!
They offer thousands of books in many different languages. To find books in languages other than English; First click browse, and then click Subjects. Scroll all the way to the last subject and you’ll see a title that says “Books by Language,” and under this you will see choices for all kinds of languages, with a ‘see more’ tab for even more languages.

I don’t know much else about this website however because I just found out about it today.

Starting learning Chinese 🇨🇳
1. Learn pinyin and how to pronounce it
2. Start with basic hanzi (我,你,他,女,儿...)
3. Prioritise reading and listening but don't forget to pronounce what you read/listen! Repeating helps a lot!
4. Don't give up! It may look hard but, if you are motivated, you can do it!

Anyone have any good resources for learning Brazilian Portuguese? Because I have Duolingo and it's helped somewhat, but 1. it uses AI and I don't love that and 2. it doesn't help THAT much. I don't feel like I've progressed as much as I'd have liked to by now.
I really want to actually commit to learning, I always give up on new skills like this and this is the longest I've really stuck with any language. Sunk cost and all. But resources would really help!
I'm looking for programs, courses, videos, etc. Also, if any of y'all have media reccomendations like TV shows or movies to watch, I've heard those are super helpful, so I'd love to hear about those too! I watch a lot of Portuguese-speaking streamers on QSMP but I'd love some other media as well ^w^
Thank you all so much <3 <3 <3

so… i have been learning japanese!!! my german course will start in a couple of months and i’m excited to keep learning it, however learning japanese is in my 2024 goals :] since i started japanese dramas, i’ve been interested in the language. for now i am just learning from and practicing on duolingo. i’m looking for (and have found) some free online books and i’m gonna start studying using them as well. i don’t know why but it brings me so much joy when i remember words or build sentences with what i know. i really hope i can improve my japanese :]
