With the most recent exodus from Twitter (among all the other reasons) I decided to give 🦋 a try.
I am also trying out ➰.
Where are all my #langtwt moots at?

#langsky I've been kinda hyped with French ngl so I might actually buy a textbook (even though I should just focus on Estonian). My friend also sent me the PDFs they use in class, which is mainly dialogue/grammar focused.

#langsky a friend of mine started to take French in uni – which of course led me to doing French on Duolingo, and realizing I remember more from my 3 years in French 15 years ago than I had assumed (plus, bringing what I don't from the back of my brain).
This is actually being fun!

I know I kinda disappeared, but with my current job (crazy shifts and completely depleted social energy) plus my Estonian classes, I end up not having energy/time for social media, but hopefully I'll be back soon enough. I do miss the community

#langsky I'm finally taking a TEFL course online
I do wish I've done it before, but couldn't afford to and had to work the whole summer and saving up for it...hopefully it's not for nothing

#langsky just to let you guys know I passed the B1 exam with 74%! The Speaking part was weak (50-59%), which is not surprising, but still better result than I expected.
And I started B1 classes this week too. Which is great, I had assumed I would only get them after the summer

Finished the level 2 Inuktitut course, now starting level 3. I think this is the last level course offered to non-Inuit so I'm going to have to fight my social anxiety and start using it out in the community. #langsky #inuktitut

#langsky I reached the end of the textbook btw (without doing the exercises). I will eventually go through it again and do them while reviewing, but for now I'll just be focusing on reviewing my class notes for the test this week and doing mock exams for the exam this weekend

#langsky ok so apparently the speaking part of the exam will only be a week after the rest, so I can just focus on the other skills for now and then have a week just for that one

What the heck?! #langsky A German textbook to teach Brazilian Portuguese used example sentences like saying that a child from Rio de Janeiro searches for food in the garbage and doesn't study. How does that not raise any red flags in editing before its published?
Editora se desculpa por livro que dizia que criança do Rio 'busca comida no lixo' e 'não estuda': 'Nunca foi nossa intenção reforçar estereótipos' .

#LangSky I thought the “Mango Languages is free with a library card” was a U.S. only thing. Nope! I just connected my Mango user with my local library and have full access to all the languages. 😄

Hey #langsky people, have you tried @nyan-8.bsky.social?
I tried writing there in Lithuanian today, but someone replied in Finnish saying there aren’t many Lithuanian speakers on the website. I think it’s a fun idea, needs more users I guess
