Torno a aquest pou d'iniquitat i virtue signalling per dir-vos que estic buscant feina desesperadament.
Pref. 3r sector, però em serveix qualsevol cosa que em pagui i m'allunyi de tornar mai més a posar-me darrere d'una barra de bar.
Soc virtuós i bona persona.

Buenos días, es triste de pedir pero más triste de robar, así que me encomiendo a Bluesky para deciros que busco trabajo de guionista, redactora o cualquier cosa que implique escribir. Tengo más de 15 años de experiencia como guionista de ficción en varios géneros. Os agradezco el rebluit y la ayuda

Has your partner ever struggled with your child’s second language?

What helped you bridge that gap? 👇

💡 Raising a bilingual child works best when both parents feel included, even if only one speaks the language.

It’s about connection, not perfection. ❤️

4️⃣ Be gentle:

If your partner feels pressured to “keep up,” they’ll pull away.

Invite curiosity instead of obligation.

3️⃣ Make it a shared project:

- Celebrate both languages.
- Watch shows, read bilingual books, label things around the house.

My wife has progressed from very basic Bosnian into a quasi-fluent speaker, just by listening to me speaking with my son.

2️⃣ Include them:

- Translate short bits.
- Share what you’re saying to the child.
- Teach them a few words, even small steps reduce the distance.

1️⃣ Reassure:

It’s not about creating a secret world. It’s about giving your child an extra bridge: to family, culture, and opportunity.

“I want our child to be bilingual — but my partner doesn’t speak my language and feels left out.”

A common challenge for multilingual families. Here’s how to handle it 🧵

De res. A veure quan el puc tenir signat... :-)

Puzzled how Dan Brown has created a thriller for the masses that is addictive as long as you don't value good writing.

I started reading the new book. In 30 pages, I've found at least three factual errors as well as many paragraphs of prose as subtle as a car honk.

Literary Big Mac.

Dan Brown is a fucking million copy performance poet. Look at the sheer effrontery here: The Secret of Secrets. You can read the name in various ways; it means nothing; it promises revelation below the fold; it is perfect titular clickbait.

Parents: what’s your best trick for sneaking more minority language into daily life? 👇

💡Exposure doesn’t have to be complicated.

It just needs to be consistent, fun, and meaningful.

5️⃣ People matter: video calls with grandparents, cousins, or playdates with other speakers.
6️⃣ Special rituals: bedtime story, Sunday pancakes, family prayers… all in the minority language.

1️⃣ Read daily: books, comics, even labels.
2️⃣ Songs & Cartoons: kids love them in any language.
3️⃣ Narrate routines: “We’re cooking rice… now stirring…”
4️⃣ Play: games, role-play, silly jokes.

“How can I give my child more exposure to our home language?”

A question every multilingual parent asks. Here are 6 simple ways 🧵

Parents: how do you fight the “majority language pressure” in your family?

Drop your best tip in the thread👇, it could help someone else.

The environment will always push the majority language.

But a consistent parent can keep the minority language alive and give their child a gift they’ll treasure for life. ❤️

What actually works:

✅ Keep speaking the minority language, no matter what they answer in.
✅ Create need: grandparents, relatives, playdates, video calls.
✅ Make it fun: books, songs, traditions, games.
✅ Stay patient: it often clicks later.

So parents ask:

👉 “Will my child lose the minority language?”
👉 “Am I enough if I’m the only speaker?”
👉 “Should I just give up?”

The challenge:

🌍 The environment is powerful.

At school, on the playground, in media...the majority language dominates.

Kids quickly realize it’s the “easy” choice.

“At home we speak our language… but outside, my child switches to the community language.”

Sounds familiar? Here’s why it happens and how to handle it. 🧵

💡 Language mixing isn’t a problem.
It’s a sign your child is learning. 🌍💬

Parents: has your child ever made a hilarious “mixed sentence”?
Drop it below — let’s laugh (and learn) together. 👇

What helps?
✅ Model the sentence in the target language (gently).
✅ Keep exposure consistent.
✅ Celebrate it — they’re mastering two language codes at once.
