Comic strip from Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin says : I like to verb words Hobbes : What ? Calvin : I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when "access" was a thing ? Now it's something you do. It got verbed. Verbing weirds language. Hobbes : Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding.

Something I learned from @lingthusiasm.bsky.social:

The French circumflex accent sometimes denotes an “s” that became silent and then invisible.

ancêtre "ancestor"
hôpital "hospital"
hôtel "hostel"
forêt "forest"
rôtir "to roast"
côte "coast"
pâté "paste"
août "August"

Thanks Lingthusiasm podcât!

The handle languages/language is reserved, omg I wish I could have this handle so bad

French: "This chair is feminine: la chaise." German: "This chair is masculine: der Stuhl!" English: "This chair is an object, I don't see a skirt or a pair of trousers anywhere on its cold hard surface. You people are fucking insane." Japanese: "If you don't pronounce chair exactly right, you'll end up saying testicles instead."

Let’s give a big bluesky welcome to @proferandolph.bsky.social! #iTeachWL #linguistics

5) Every language journey is unique to the language learner and these comparisons merely serve to make language learners feel defeated, because they can never meet those time frames (for good reasons!)
#langsky

4) What is intended here by "general professional proficiency"? Fluency in reading and writing? Fluency in listening ? Fluency in speaking only? Fluency and proficiency in themselves are open to many interpretations.

3) There's absolutely no rational explanation for how languages have been grouped here, but maybe more importantly, there's absolutely no comparison possible between individual language learners, even having the same L1, because every language learner comes with a diff set of skills & difficulties.

2) Many factors other than the first language come into play:
- other languages known (have you learned other case, ergative, tone, or agglutinative languages before?)
- method(s) used,
- avalaible resources (e.g. Mongolian vs Turkish),
- emotional bond with the language
- etc.

1) Hardly anybody studies a language "full-time" (as stated), i.e. 20-30hrs/week. It's not recommended either, bec. your brain needs time to rewire itself. So, brought back to hrs, "30 weeks" = in fact 600-900 hrs, which, at a rate of 3 to 4 hrs/w amounts to 3 to 5 yrs, which seems more realistic.

Chart showing the number of weeks atneeded for an English speaker to learn different languages to general professional proficiency, ranging from 24-30 weeks to 88 weeks, with intermediate groups of 36 weeks and 44 weeks.

Similar charts ranking languages by "difficulty" in function of the time needed to reach "proficiency" are regularly being shared on social media.

Im so happy to be here! 💗

Muito obrigada!

hey @carpeidiom.bsky.social thank you so much for creating a #langsky feed!

Linguists Hear an Accent Begin Residents of an overwintering station in Antarctica provided linguists with evidence of the first small changes in speech that may signal the development of a new accent.

Antarctic scientists showed tiny, early signs of a new accent after spending all winter in isolated groups talking to each other. Cool to see exactly how the process of language divergence starts #langsky

Academic Twitter trying to reconstitute itself on Bluesky feels like the migration of English Catholic scholars to Louvain in the 1560s, setting up colleges called ‘Oxford’ and ‘Cambridge’ and trying to maintain college traditions

Alguém cria um feed pro #studysky e um pro #langsky por favor?
