Because of the mess that Duolingo turned out to be, I checked out a recommended app (list of recommendations here.)

I tried Busuu today and it’s great!

It actually uses the language skill levels of A1/ A2/ B1/ B2 that are used to compare language proficiency.

The assessment test was swift and didn’t feel pressuring, you can actually re-do the assessment for a language you already started whenever you feel like it!

However, one major point of critique (which is actually about accessibility): you can not turn off speaking exercises in Busuu. You can only repeatedly click “skip” whenever they pop up. But you can not just say “I don’t want/ can’t do speaking exercise at all.” And the same goes for listening exercises but worse because you can’t even skip those within your regular exercises/ lessons!

Disclaimer: I am not Deaf/ deaf nor mute. To me these things are annoyances more than actual accessibility issues but it does make Busuu feel rather inaccessible. Sometimes I just don’t want to deal with listening exercises. And I generally don’t like speaking “on command” or vocally replying to prompts. But, again, for me these are preferences.

I know speaking and listening exercises are important to achieve an actual comprehension for a language and I recognise avoiding speaking/ listening might slow down my progression in my chosen languages of study. I recognise that I need to and do consume media where I need to listen to the languages I’m learning.

To other people, it is an actual problem of accessibility that you can not universally turn off speaking/ listening exercises in Busuu.

I just figured this might be an issue people will inevitably notice now that we are changing away from Duolingo in droves and someone had to make a post about it.

Back at it again with posting crossovers of things I like, because I just get possessed like that sometimes. <3

This time as a rushed sketchbook doodle.

People whose native language has grammatical genders - how’s it going with non-binary people? Are there new word forms that can be used instead? I know that you get latinx etc - any others? Or do you just have to live with gender everywhere?

As a (wannabe) queer polyglot it's extremely important for me to understand how pronouns work in other languages and how to use them properly, but my fussiness has arrived to the point that I have chosen my preferred pronouns even in Latin and ancient Greek

#I love learning languages and I can say I speak more or less 4-5 of them #Italian and English fluently. Spanish pretty well. Latin ermh I do my best. #ancient Greek I know the grammar very well but still don't manage to translate it. #Czech and Japanese I know the basics but I'm working on them. Czech in particular. #and overall I have a good ear so I understand the basics of Portoguese and French #but for pronouns it's difficult for me in Czech for some reason? #anyway my pronouns in Latin are illa/illam and illud/illud #while in Greek άυτή/άυτήν but only because the Σοφία is female so it's more handy #ight sorry for the long rambling #language tag #vagor dicens #pronouns

Find the Word Tag

Brought to you by @cowboybrunch ^.-

I am tagging @kaylinalexanderbooks @starbuds-and-rosedust @aziz-reads and YOU (seriously do the thing, it'll be fun)

Your words, should you choose to accept them are; far, pale, sever, and command

->my long snips is under the thing<-

My words are: suggest, lead, choose, and favor

Suggest(ively) (and it is suggestive, so beware >.>)

“The arm will return?” I wasn’t as concerned as he, and my face likely showed how much his amused—comforted, more like, but they tend to look the same. Eyeing me, he nodded, “Yes, it will. Without the coffin, and its sigils, it will be longer, but it will grow back. We are all different, however and you, my perfect treasure, have been a well of mysteries,” sliding off me, he crawled to the nightstand—to the drawer of mysteries—while adding, “so I can’t say how long it’ll be for you.” Posing suggestively with a tiny bottle—of clear, glittering oils—he wiggled it and cooed, “But I can ease the ache…” I leaned with salacious words on my lips—to tell him how he already had, could again—but the strain it put on the hole in my shoulder sent me reeling, cutting more to my intention, “scopami!” Giggles chased his worried gasp and he teased, “Mm, maybe after.”

Lead

While all that enchanting forest remained at a distance, soft white sands and sea-black stone—glittering all too familiar—worked to lead us with a pulsing rhythm through our boots. And I wondered then...if it were the Isle’s flesh, her skin. “Of course it’s her skin, treasure,” Lucient answered aloud—confusing no one, the men accustomed to hearing one-sided conversations, “what else would one call the rocky surface of a living island.” Responding to his knowing tone, I teased, “I’d best not touch it then, lest I rile a certain jealous brat…” Not bothering to check for the crew’s eyes, Lucient swatted me—grinning for my sharp gasp—and held my arm tighter, whispering, “As if you’d need more than that mouth.”

Choose

“A shame, isn’t it, treasure?” Lucient asked my confused interest in the packaged meals, “To remember ones desire for such things...yet hold none of it.” Patting my arm, he slipped by me and out the door, “You can still enjoy it, as I’ve said. We are not so removed from life as to have lost our taste.” Following after, six of those boxed meals in my arms, I considered it and remembered what he’d said last I broached the subject, “but it does something to our stomachs, yes?” Giggling, he winked back at me, “It dies in them,” my gasp was soft, but he caught it and giggled again, “It is rather painful and unpleasant on its way out as well. So, please, my love...choose wisely.”

Favor my only instance is a wee bit of filth and our narrator is still human in it...

“Please,” he cooed, rubbing my shoulders with his feet. So sweet that voice, rich syrup to my ears, but hearing it beg was sweeter. Grabbing his legs, I stopped the tease, pulled my lips free and pressed for more—and perhaps showed off a bit, “Alors, qu’est-ce que mon rêve veut que je fasse?” To paraphrase, what I said was, then what does my dream want me to do? He answered first with wide eyes and a nibbled lip before I lost his legs as he hooked them under my arms and pulled me forward. Not until he’d trapped me in those legs and tasted every sweaty lick of my neck did he answer with words, returning the favor of a native tongue, “Prendimi.”

L'ITALIANO | TOTO CUTUGNO

(this song is turning 40 years old this year)

Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Con la chitarra in mano With the guitar in my hand Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Sono un italiano I'm an Italian

Buongiorno Italia, gli spaghetti al dente Good morning Italy, spaghetti al dente E un partigiano come presidente And a partisan as a President (of the Republic, cfr. Sandro Pertini) Con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra With the car radio* always in the right hand Un canarino sopra la finestra A canary on the window (*in the 80s it was common to not have a radio in the car: people bought them separately or bought tape players and removed them from the car anytime they parked cause those were easily robbed)

Buongiorno Italia con i tuoi artisti Good morning Italy with your artists Con troppa America sui manifesti With too much America on the posters Con le canzoni, con amore With the songs, with love Con il cuore With the heart Con più donne e sempre meno suore With more women and less and less nuns

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria Good morning Italy, good morning Mary Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia With your eyes filled with melancholy Buongiorno Dio Good morning God Lo sai che ci sono anch'io You know I'm here/exist as well

Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Con la chitarra in mano With the guitar in my hand Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Una canzone piano piano A song slowly/delicately

Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Perché ne sono fiero Because I'm proud Sono un italiano I'm an Italian Un italiano vero A true Italian

Buongiorno Italia che non si spaventa Good morning Italy that doesn't get scared Con la crema da barba alla menta With the mint flavored shaving cream Con un vestito gessato sul blu With a blue-like pinstripe suit E la moviola la domenica in TV And the slow motion* on Sundays on TV (*the old version of the VAR in soccer/football but ofc it wasn't live. People could only see mistakes/goals at the end of matches through soccer/sports-dedicated TV shows which showed slowmos of actions and faults and they were ofc usually on Sunday afternoon/evening/night)

Buongiorno Italia col caffè ristretto Good morning Italy with the ristretto coffee Le calze nuove nel primo cassetto The new socks in the first drawer Con la bandiera in tintoria (=often used as a synonym of lavanderia) With the flag in the dry-cleaner E una Seicento giù di carrozzeria And a Seicento with a not-good body

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria Good morning Italy, good morning Mary Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia With your eyes filled with melancholy Buongiorno Dio Good morning God Lo sai che ci sono anch'io You know I'm here/exist as well

Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Con la chitarra in mano With the guitar in my hand Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Una canzone piano piano A song slowly/delicately

Lasciatemi cantare Let me sing Perché ne sono fiero Because I'm proud Sono un italiano I'm an Italian Un italiano vero A true Italian

(Ta-na-na-na-na-na-na Ta-na-na-na-na-na-na Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na Ta-na-na, ta-na-na)

Absolutely wild internet take I had to read today:

We should cancel Spanish because it has grammatical gender, therefore it's transphobic.

#I CANNOT #i immediately thought 'they must be usamerican' but. they're spanish #1) spanish is one of the most beautiful languages on earth according to me aka the most important person on earth /j #2) it's literally the 3rd most spoken language on earth. you're not going to eradicate it #also fun fact that adding a neutral gender to spanish is extremely easy and it's something that's already happening #(unlike with italian where it's real fucking hard) #language tag

I'm enlisting Tumblr for help expanding a playlist of mine on Spotify.

It's called "No English, Just Vibes" and the only rule is...right there in the title. But right now it's a little heavy on like, three artists in particular, and on just a couple languages.

Here's where you come in! Tell me your favorite songs that aren't in English. While I prefer rock, I'm polyjamorous and will take anything into consideration.

Playlist below for anyone who wants the existing vibes to see what we're working with.

(When I queued this, I didn't realize it would be Wrapped day, so honestly this is perfect, please tell me your songs)
