No endorsement for or against this blog, just a fun tip relating to their example sentence here.

演技『が』よかった suggests you think the acting was good. For example, maybe someone asked you, "what part of the movie did you like?"

演技『は』よかった suggests that you think the acting may have been good, but something else (maybe everything else) was not. For example, maybe you were asked, "what did you think of the movie?" and both of you know it was pretty terrible, but the acting was alright.

The latter is often called the comparative usage of は, and it's the reason you do not tell your host that you liked the XYZ dish by saying, 「XYZはおいしい」😆😆

Added a new calendar to track reviews. Level 1 = daily, L2 = 2 days, L3 = 4 days, L4 = 8 days, L5 = 16 days, L6 = 32 days, L7 = 64 days. Might add another level or an archive once enough cards are super-super easy. I write out the answers on paper to help the learning process.

Aaand the Leitner Box system is live! I'm applying it in the digital sphere, in Workflowy. Looking very positive so far as I've actually been reviewing my flashcards consistently, something I've been struggling with for the past year or so.

The manual aspect of this system is an important part of the process for me. Super cool bonus: Workflowy automatically emails my work to me, every day! Love how it's not trapped inside a proprietary app.

Your personality changes when you speak another language, but that’s not always a bad thing / The Conversation

Un bell'aticolo sul Principio di Relatività Linguistica, formulato da Whorf negli anni '30.

Languages don’t just allow us to communicate – they also shape our perception of what surrounds us, and ourselves.

How to learn a language like a baby / The Conversation

Prima di tutto ascoltare e abituarsi alla musica della lingua. Scrivere verrà più in là.

[A new study] ... confirms that the relevant native-language acquisition mechanism remains intact in the adult brain.

If you took in-person classes for learning the Dutch language in Amsterdam, and you felt they helped, can you tell me where you took them? I need to get to at least A2 by November, but preferably B1.

If its after 17:00 on weekdays, the closer to the rings the better. If its weekends, it can be anywhere in Amsterdam. :amsterdam:

I'm looking to sign up with my roommate :blue_heart_sparkle:

I want to improve my #German skills at some point. TV shows and movies motivate me a lot. So does anyone have any #recommendations of decent shows, movies or YouTubers to watch?

I'm also open to more TV shows, movies and podcasts in #Spanish too since I'm at a stage where I don't have to look up as many words as I used to and it's really really enjoyable to be at the stage where I can just enjoy things.

( I'm open to all genres except for excessive or realistic gore. Cartoon-y gore is fine e.g. Invincible on Amazon Prime. )

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!
