Thanks, guys! I’ll check out both

Anyone know of any good Georgian resources? Preferably something similar to Assimil with audio and text that’s not too outdated.
I’d like to learn it in the future, so I’m very curious about which resources are available.😇 #langtwt

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp So Apparently we all have super human language learning brains. 🤷
It was just such a random debate to get sucked into.
I have a few more, but that was definitely one of the more strange ones. 3/

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp I got dragged into a strange debate with somebody at an in-person language exchange cuz “the fact that I could learn more than 2 langs meant I had a gift and I should just accept it”. I explained that there were many polyglots and that for 99% of us, it’s the effort we put in 1/

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp It’s also technique, trial and error, and much more. I failed French immersion back in school, so I definitely don’t have a language learning gift and I’d assume that 99% of polyglots are regular people who just put in the required work. He just wouldn’t buy it. 2/

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@MarkBogard86 I think a big part of it is due to the lack of resources. I wanted to learn a few African languages, but couldn’t find the resources that I used for other languages.
I also found that the resources that DO exist, lack audio which is one of the most important things for me.

They: 8 languages?! You're talented! 🤯

But I:
- have no other hobbies
- use Anki 1 hour every day
- found a job making me even better at languages
- my social life = language exchanges
- have a study buddy & we only talk about how to learn better

They: TaLEnTeD! 🤯

When I hear foreign languages being spoken around me I get happy. Any language, anytime.

@LanguageComeUp “To the lake” is a good one. It’s about a rampant disease that spreads around Moscow and survivors have to escape. There’s also one I was planning on watching. I think it’s called “better than us”. It’s about cyborgs. I don’t know much elseabout it, but it was recommended to me.

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@kolibabski @LanguageComeUp Hahaha this was clever. I liked this 😂

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp I do recall a few young children, who must have just started to learn English —running up to me at grocery stores, shyly trying to say Hello in English before running back to their parents and high fiving them. 😂

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp As a Canadian, I can relate to this. Especially when I was in Belarus. People were SHOCKED to meet a Canadian in a “small” town, especially when I spoke Russian. I found that most people didn’t speak English though, so the convos had to continue in Russian.

@the_pyroneer @MLautmer Thanks for sharing! I’ll check him out!

I’ve been finding Bahasa Indonesia very interesting recently. Do any of you know of any native speakers who vlog 100% in Indonesian?

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp Somebody should definitely start a Twitter thread where people post the current state of their most used language learning resources. I have a few beaten up books. I feel like the more beaten up the book, the more of a story it tells.

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp That looks just like mine 😂. I had to tape the front page back on not to long ago 😅. I’m currently going through their second book and it’s really good so far. It’s just hard because it’s not available in English and the level is apparently C1

@elonmusk RIP to the birds flying near there at the time

This made me giggle. I like Polyglot humour 😂

Putting things in their right place? 😀

[Language Come Up @LanguageComeUp]

The Uber driver I just had (from Uzbekistan) went from super silent in English to the friendliest guy in the world in Russian. Language unlocks so much, it's a beautiful thing.

[The Polyglot Grind @PolyglotGrindin]

@LanguageComeUp I can totally relate. I used to like making language videos as well, but I’ve found that I prefer just using/learning languages now.
