People freak out when they see German like:
neunzehnhundertneunundneunzig 😱

But imagine English smashed together:
onethousandninehundredandninetynine

Or Spanish:
milnovecientosnoventaynueve

Any language looks confusing written like this.
German just looks scary at first, but it's not! 😉

It’s funny how some people hate the sound of the Spanish “Z” and “C” (before E or I)… but “think” or “thin” in English? No problem. 😏

Polish is tough… unless it’s not your first Slavic rodeo. 😜

I agree!👏👏👏

🤣🤣🤣 Exactly! 👏👏👏

It’s a quick way to show language skills, but I am sure that many recruiters still value TOEFL/IELTS more. It can be used as a boost, but not as the only proof.

What do you think about this, #langsky? 😜

The University of Minnesota’s Open Textbook Library offers free language textbooks in French, Spanish, German, Chinese & more.

Perfect for students, teachers or anyone curious about languages! 👍

It's going well. I'm enjoying it a lot.

I normally start with Assimil, and after finishing 50% or more of it, I move on to podcasts.

My main hurdle is finding interesting content at my level.

How about you, Alex?

🤣🤣🤣

In this restaurant in Les Angles (France), "La carte" became "El mapa" in Catalan. I am pretty sure Google Translate was the chef here. Lunch just turned into a road trip.

I like these:

- Busuu

- Mondly Languages
- Babbel
- Clozemaster
- Mango Languages

Each of them offers German, among other languages.

Never!

I can't say how people in Sweden react, since I've never been there, but my language exchange tandem family and my Swedish-speaking neighbours are happy that I can speak it with them. 👍

I find Italian and Swedish beautiful and melodic and this feeling is reinforced by the fact that their speakers are glad when you can speak their language.

Gefeliciteerd, Matt! Wat goed dat je geslaagd bent voor lezen en luisteren. Ik hoop dat je ook snel positief nieuws krijgt over schrijven en spreken. Succes nog even met wachten! 👍🙂

It's pretty easy to use. You just explain in your own words what you want Google AI to do, and that's it. I pasted the Chinese text and told it to convert it into simplified characters, add pinyin and provide an English translation sentence by sentence. It's free, you just need a Gmail account.

The transcripts are available for free on their website in traditional Chinese characters. Using Google AI, I created a format that displays the content sentence by sentence: Sentence in Simplified Characters [bold] Pinyin [bold] English Translation
