A little #languagelearning strategy that works well for me for non-native writing systems: you've got to learn to write. I see a lot of learners insist they will never write with pen and paper in that language and I'm just...why would you deny yourself such a great learning tool?

Look up some high frequency words in the target language, find a guide to handwriting, and try to produce the script. You'll learn how to read it SO much better, I promise. Currently doing this with #yiddish

Greetings, #langtoot
It’s great seeing the #languagelearning community here too!
My name is Jouseph, I’m a foreign languages student from Puerto Rico.
Currently I speak: ES🇵🇷(N), EN🇺🇸(N), and PT🇧🇷(Advanced-Intermediate).
Currently learning: PT 🇧🇷, and FR 🇫🇷
I also dabble in other languages, and love history, mixed martial arts, eating (a lot), and reading.
I come from the 🐦 app, and hope to see more familiar faces from the lang community there, and make new friends.
I didn't expect to see as many people from #langtwt here as there are. It gets me excited to see how the #langtoot community evolves, both the similarities and differences.
Someone I knew who mocked my 日本語 told me he was going to uni in Japan. He ended up learning 日本語. Before he left, he acknowledged my efforts and my 日本語 reading (in school, I read card games 日本語 text). Don't let naysayers stop you. Your efforts will bear fruit. #langtoot #LanguageLearning #Japanese

Hello #langtoot I'm Tristan ✨

I have too many hobbies, but I love studying languages, reading, working out, coding, working with my hands, and I'm obsessed with coffee.

Langs I speak: EN/SP
Langs I'm studying: CA/HU/FR

Let's be friends 😎

Can a photograph lie or mislead? it's an interesting subject.
Here is an example, taken on the streets of Glasgow.
I don't usually photograph homeless people, it doesn't feel right to me. But this exchange caught my eye.
It looks like the man is remonstrating with the young woman, but he's not, he was telling her where she could find help and shelter.
It made me realise that care is needed when taking or presenting street photographs.

Note to the newbs: the hardest thing about starting out here is finding who to follow. On birdland you can just pick a few famous people or news outlets and you have an instant feed. And "the algorithm" starts to show you more stuff you may be interested in.

Here, you have to find it on your own. So scroll through the local timeline and follow a few new folks every day who say something remotely interesting. Add people they boost or follow. Soon your feed will be filled with good stuff!

Hello, 🙂 I am a philosopher of biology. I have two PhDs: one in #biology and one in #philosophy I did postdocs in biology (plant physiology) and philosophy.

Hi #langtoot #langtwt

I‘d love to connect with you ☺️

よろしくお願いします🤲
