🎥 watched during my holidays in Austria - about the fate of Sudeten Germans after WW2
NEBELKIND - THE END OF SILENCE von Tereza Kotyk hat Kinostart am 9.Mai 2025.
Ich durfte als Editorin mit Tereza an diesem wichtigen Stoff arbeiten in dem es um Generationstrauma geht. Tereza hat meinen Horizont in jedem Fall erweitert.

Wake up with coffee and Finnish on Clozemaster. Chinese characters and HSK in the evening. Once I’m through the HSK1 book, I’ll be looking for a tutor.

Struggling to find place for Polish… so just reading some social media.

🎥in my target langs this weekend #langsky

Viikossa aikuiseksi, J. Vuoksenmaa: at the Institut finlandais in Paris, presented by the person who wrote the subtitles (I think)

Black Dog (狗阵), Hu Guan: in the cinemas right now. China before Beijing 2008, beautifully filmed impacts of the big event

🎥 Another French movie I can recommend - Vingt Dieux

How it feels to be young in the region where France’s favourite cheese is produced (lots of love and alcohol…)

starting this week in its German version (Könige des Sommers) and soon enough in English (Holy Cow)

🎬 I watched „En fanfare” yesterday, a French movie about two brothers discovering each other.
I had recommended it to my mother, solely based on the trailer. She went and liked it so I felt obliged to go and watch it too…

新年快乐!

Year of the snake, here we come!

Does it mean this is the year to reinforce my python skills and get back to mandarin? Or better see where I’m at with my New Year’s resolutions from 01/01/2025 😭

Such a pretty language with a super interesting culture to discover in its original language

I did not want to make any new years resolutions, but somehow got caught by @65words.bsky.social post…

-> and so I tried to write a bit of Polish (for Finnish I would run out of words too quickly)

Will I make a habit out of it??
2025 will show

My language learning apps that I really use these days:

and…

Clozemaster since Tuesday (because of this guy here @kubacki.bsky.social -> stay away, his love for languages is contagious!)

I’ll be going to Oslo in a few days!

It’s only 3 days and for work but that’s enough as an excuse to familiarise a bit with their language. What would you recommend?

Interested in books, movies and history - you have to kill that time in transport somehow!

Will generative AI intensify corporate jargon to the point of diglossia in the English language? Should we call it "High Email"? #linguistics #actionitem #regards #cheers #drilldown #circleback #touchbase
October 30, 2024 at 6:20 PM
I just got myself these ones here, in French, but I also read in English and German. For my colleagues Spanish and Arab are other possibilities

#MLsky please tell me about other books you enjoyed on generative AI (introductory level)

Thanks in advance for your help!!
