Feeling stuck in your life? What can ease you out of it is doing something new. Like being a beginner in a new language, just little steps to really hear and try out saying the new sounds. 😎

Spending 10 days in the Netherlands and soaking up a language I love. Fun to hear words that I knew as a child. 😁
"snoepje" (candy),
"poffertjes" (mini pancakes) "hopjes" (coffee flavored candy)
⁉️Question: Was cute cartoon dog Snoopy's name inspired by the Dutch word "snoepje"⁉️

And now we have the expression: ... ins Fäustchen lachen... (lit. to laugh into one's little fist).
What in the world could that mean?

Gestern hieß es in den Nachrichten:
... wird hoffentlich nicht über den Tisch gezogen...
Schon mal die Redewendung gehört:
Jemanden über den Tisch ziehen.
(Literally: To pull someone across the table.)
Ever heard this expression? Has a interesting origin, if it's true.

Languages are academically interesting
And they provide opportunities.
But I view language learning as a personal path, also. A small way in my microcosm to foster tolerance, unity and understanding
A constant reminder that people are important outside of the sphere into which I was born

I keep getting bombarded with: learn languages fast; disappear for a month and come back bilingual; fluent in 3 months...
Well, anything new I learn takes time 😁
But hey, if you have the magic fast key, can you share it with us?

Fluency is only one of the benefits of learning a language.
You learn how to learn. You deepen maturity, patience, & commitment.
You learn to navigate desire & despair, embarrassment & break through.
You learn pacing, structure & organization.
Probably humility, as well
