You live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once.

@EllaSnow00 @duolingo Omg awesome! 😊 I'll talk to my lecturer first so that we can then discuss the date and time that works best for you to conduct the interview. Also where do you want me to send you the details of the interview privately? I tried to DM you but it's not working

One of the most delightful features of #French is its raspy "r". But it's a nightmare for learners! It's a "uvular" sound, and the trick is to make a constriction in the back of your throat where the uvula is, a bit deeper than what you'd do for 'k' or 'g'. Try it! #learnfrench

A woman who works at a concession was asked a question by a tourist who didn't speak English. He gave her his phone & they conducted the convo via a translation app. And she clearly has done this many times before. I usually have grave doubts abt tech solutions but that was cool.

For everyone who is learning a language let me tell you that you are amazing and you should be proud of yourself because most people are not willing to go through that struggle!
