Love web sites where I can buy e-books w/ matching audiobooks & import the e-books into LingQ. Flipping back & forth between reading on their site for enhanced fonts & in LingQ to learn the words. Listen to audio on their apps.

It went SO WELL. I don’t know if that’s my Turkish that improved or I simply was comfortable speaking to him but it felt so good to speak Turkish. I spent like 30 minutes talking with him and I didn’t „suffer” as it sometimes happened before. I’m so proud of myself ❤️

@PeterSweden7 I don't really want to get involved in points 1, 2, or 3. But, points 4 and 5 are stupid. You don't lose a language because people insert an English loanword here and there, and besides - isn't language meant to be evolving based on the speakers? How can you prescribe that?

@egasmb Happened in the US too. Foreign languages were banned in 1918 in Iowa. It didn't last long, thankfully, but it surely had a huge effect in the community, being treated as second-rate citizens for speaking their own language. A few generations later, it was all English.

This type of language shaming was (and, alas, continues to be) a common practice in many countries trying to impose a homogenous national language. Here a 🧵 with a few other examples from around the world: 1/

‘Today I spoke Latvian’ was used as a shame punishment in schools during the russification campaigns It was punishable to speak your own language. russian imperialism runs deeper than putin

@rassulsson It's just one idiot doing it to cause trouble, and get media coverage. It's not something Danish people do in general, and the vast, vast majority of Danes are strongly against his actions, and what he stands for.

I can’t understand why Danes burn Koran? I mean you won’t find one single Muslim on planet who burnt Bible or drew caricatures of Jesus (peace be upon him). Why would you burn Koran and especially during the holy fast month Ramadan? What are you trying to achieve?

The new Coffee Break Portuguese is sooo good. I wish I had this when I started my Portuguese journey! They compare and contrast from Brazil and Portugal in the same show so you can learn and appreciate the differences from the get go...

@Noelanbj I tried it out just now and the free account is quite useful, especially if you don't plan to record video. Most of the extra features that come with premium accounts seem to be things I don't want or need anyway. Thanks for the recommendation!

Fellow podcasters: What's a good platform for interviews? Minimum requirements are separate recordings for each participant and at least some redundancy/backup. I'm not going to use this very often, so expensive subscriptions are out!

@elonmusk Would this feature be machine-translated, or will you have translation staff? I think the former could lead to awkward incidents
