I haven’t decided if I’m going to make any new accounts just yet, but my tumblr is @ pawprintedpages if anyone wants to add me there!

I don't worry about AI becoming better at translation than me, but I do worry about companies deciding that a decline in quality is worth the savings they'll make from no longer hiring actual translators.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

The Autistic urge to wish humans came with ‘relationship bars’ like in The Sims, so you could see what your relationships with people truly are and understand how they really feel about what you say.

la manière dont tes proches se comportent avec les autres ça veut dire beaucoup sur eux, tu peux être adorable avec moi mais si t'es malpoli ou méprisant avec les serveurs, les femmes de ménage, les vendeurs, les autres de manière générale je te veux pas à mes côtés

[Respond Crisis Translation @RespondCrisis]

Frente a la crisis política y ambiental, hay cada vez más migrantes y refugiados que están llegando a la frontera EEUU-MX para solicitar asilo. A menudo se les niega a estos migrantes acceso a derechos básicos, debido a las barreras lingüísticas.

hiii guys! here's a thread of free korean videos and podcasts I found on YouTube that I'm using for my listening practices <3

[DoingBlakeThings @CosasDeBlake]

It turns out there’s a lot of use for learning a language if you’re interested in reading or actually listening to what other people have to say in that language instead of just using that language to talk about yourself all the time.

[Lexi Learns Languages @lexilearnslangs]

@noryeok No problem! I get anxious about things like that too 😅

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about Ablaut reduplication.

If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'
tic-tac-toe

If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’

1/BREAKING: We were featured in this @restofworld article about the grave dangers of AI machine translation. These tools are on the rise, increasingly used by for-profit government contractors and aid organizations that work with refugees & migrants. https://t.co/twfrtjO0ho 🧵

@StudyWithBee Thank you!

[Lexi Learns Languages @lexilearnslangs]

Antes quería ser veterinaria, no sólo por los animales sino también porque me encantaba la idea de hacer un poquito de todo

Si tuviera que escoger algo más específico (y de la medicina humana) quizás algo como endocrinología sería interesante

[Veronica Ruiz del Vizo @VeroRuizdelVizo]

Si hubiesen sido médicos, ¿qué especialidad les hubiese gustado elegir?

Comienzo yo: neurología 🧠

[Lexi Learns Languages @lexilearnslangs]

@Kenny_DB1983 I was super lucky & had a fantastic high school Spanish teacher, so my experience was pretty good. It also helps that I was already interested in the language to begin with though

[Ace Buck 一杰 @officialacebuck]

Not everyone enjoys studying languages at school, in fact it seems like most don’t! But in my case it was where my love for language learning first developed!
