Yearly reminder that in Mac you can keep a key pressed down to see a menu with diacritical variants, eg: e è é ê ë ě ẽ ē ė ę Great for many European languages! #langksy

#langsky, do you think on how your language input and production ratio evolves over time? Ironically, I think that the less I know, the more I try to produce: during first baby steps it really helps to write down and spell out words Then I'm just happy with reading & listening :) What about you?

Papua New Guinea has 840 living languages — more than any other country. A living language is one that is spoken by at least one person as their first language. The chart shows the ten countries with the most living languages as of 2024.

Dear #langsky, today I’m laying bare all my insecurities and clumsiness with my 1st product launch ever! Despite the negligible impact it will have, I feel all 🧘🧘 All said, if you feel like helping me with shares, upvotes and clicks, I will be so grateful! 🤗 🙏 💚 www.producthunt.com/posts/the-ha...

#langsky, what is your language learning pet peeve? Mine: when I don't understand a recording, but I later look at the transcript and it turns out that I actually know all words. I hate when this happens! Does this happen to you too?

Not sure all of these count, but... 1. French & Java 2. Greek, Icelandic & Python 3. C & Standard Musical Notation 4. Italian & Python 5. Galician & Lisp

Anyone played neal.fun/stimulation-... ? What a piece or art, worth to complete til the end (takes 30 mins or so) And their Duolingo version is more representative of their "philosophy" that the real Duolingo!
