It's your daily reminder that you should treat watching videos in your target language as a substantial part of your learning. No, studying from books is not 'more important' nor is watching films 'less important'.

#so yeah don't think that watching yt is a waste of time and it's 'cheating' #immersion baby #langblr #japanese langblr #studyblr #studying #study blog #study motivation

REST IN PEACE, PONSUKE

—

This is a notice from Seal Land.

On May 4th, 2023, Ponsuke-kun the ringed seal passed away at 7 years old.

Ponsuke-kun was conserved* April 17th, 2016, and from then on, the cute face where he smiles and sticks out his tongue, and his charming personality caused a lot of people to love him.

*Conserved meaning he was put into an animal conservatory

Because for a few days his appetite was declining, he was transferred to a seal pen, and then medical treatment was given; But on April 4th, he went on a trip to heaven under the watch of his caretakers.

Because the direct cause of death has not been established, from now on there are plans for an autopsy and pathological examination and etc. to investigate the cause of death.

Once again, to everyone who doted on Ponsuke-kun, we thank you, and we express our feelings of gratitude for “Ponsuke” *

*Im not very confident with the translation of this sentence.

Furthermore, from May 5th through the 28th 2023 there will be a altar (for flowers) installed inside the observation room.

Pon-chan, thank you. We love you.

-On behalf of the caretakers.

Sometimes if I listen too closely to English I’ll just notice some phrase.

Most recently, “bundle of joy”

It’s pretty much exclusively used to talk about newborn babies. Isn’t it kind of an interesting phrase?

#sometimes I just think at a word too hard and it doesn’t seem real anymore #langblr #language #linguistics #learn English #I guess? #hi non native speakers here’s some random phrase that’s mostly used by baby magazines?? #quinn posts

Favourite reads of the year! I read 25 books this year. I definitely completed my goal of reading more non-fiction. My goal for 2023 is to read more non-English books.

Why are words for 'mother' similar in languages across the world??

The word for ‘mother’ is similar in languages all over the world!

English: mother, ma

Basque: ama

Spanish: madre

Maltese: omm

Mandarin: ma

Vietnamese: me

Hebrew: ima

Swahili: mama

They all have that /m/ sound in common. Not all languages have this (these are cherry-picked examples), but it’s way more common than we would expect from chance!

Y THO??

/m/ is one of the first sounds that infants learn how to make, along with /b/, /d/, and /n/. All of those sounds are much more common in words for 'mother' and 'father' across languages than would be expected by chance.

When parents hear their children experimenting with making their first sounds, they assume that they're trying to say 'mother' or 'father'. So in languages all across the world, words with those sounds in them become the words for 'mother' and 'father'.

Bonus Fact

mother, father, brother, and sister all end in -ter because that was a generic kinship suffix in Proto-Indo-European (the first language from which English and other Indo-European languages evolved from).

The Proto-Indo-European word mater 'mother' was actually ma + -ter. So even in Proto-Indo-European 6,000 years ago, we can see how the word for 'mother' came from baby talk, ma.
