#NativeSpeaker
Excellent article qui s'attache à dynamiter la notion de "locuteur natif" : une contruction pseudo-scientifique et discriminatoire qui m'affole depuis des années. C'est parti, enfin! #nativespeaker #languematernelle #traduction crislozano.substack.com/p/the-myth-o...

Oi Poland & Polish Importers

Employ a #NativeSpeaker or stop putting unintelligible labels over the original instructions...

first time I bought these noodles in #Poland there was some gibberish on a sticker over the label,
now it's printed on the back 🙄

soak for 45mins V boil for 5!?

#Racist #UK #LabourParty does not learn & continues to pander to rather than challenge the #FarRight I wonder how many " #NativeSpeaker " anti- #immigration #Reform supporters have A level standards of #English? #TESOL #AppliedLinguistics #EthnicDiversity #RefugeesWelcome

Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK
The tougher rules will come in force in January as part of wider plans to cut immigration.

NATIVE ENGLISH
"Yay big" is an informal, slang term used to describe a size, usually with a hand gesture indicating the approximate width or length.

"It's yay big." (With arm and hand gesture)

"Is English your first language?"

Yes, I am what is called a #NativeSpeaker and you are a #Bigot who practices anti-immigrant Language #Bigotry.

wait! #Jesus's name is isha-raih? Lord Ra?
In #Asia, we've north & south accents, the middle/cental #equatorial are #tonal w no #accents. So it's hard to decipher the #dialects, if you're not an #OG #NativeSpeaker.

"Vinegar Salt Flavoured"

I really wish Polish companies would consult a native speaker before exploiting the English language...

at least they spelt 'Flavoured' correctly

Would you want someone with no training to fly your plane? ✈️ What about teach you #English? On this episode, Meri implores us to treat #ELT as a profession, not just something any #NativeSpeaker can do. #ELsky #EduSky

Ik beschouw mij nativespeaker wat dag betreft. Juist ook omdat mijn ouders heel actief voor kozen voor de Nederlandse taal. Maar misschien is het leuk hier een keer over door te praten, als je dat interessant acht, al dan niet met mijn moeder, want er is veel over te zeggen.

Daarom vraag ik ;-). Ik ben volledig Nederlandstalig opgevoed maar door één nativespeaker en één niet nativespeaker. En tja, mijn vader is in zijn eerste jaren Groningstalig opgevoed. Is dat dan wèl native? Dus wat is ‘moedertaal’? 😉
