@noryeok Love Hacks!

Necesito un Shazam pero de perfumes

The US has so much soft and hard influence on Greenland already with the bases and more tourism and direct air links coming wsj.com/lifestyle/trav…

Is threatening invasion a new wheeze to get European allies to increase defence spending?nytimes.com/2024/12/23/us/…

While I'm thinking about this, it's also interesting to think about Baudelaire, dandies, la sape culture and the different ways people form communities around things like style when the world feels like it is on fire procrastinationoxford.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/sap…

So cool to see this celebrated in London a few months before the Met's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibition metmuseum.org/exhibitions/su…

@noryeok I do - it's been abandoned for a long time but I feel the compulsion to start again! I have one on languages which I think is still linked in my bio and one on style that I need to tidy up! Do you? I would love to read it!

@AutoMadchen Do you have a blog? I love blogs!

Where do people host photos for blogs these days? Is it still Flickr? PS. Blogs are back in 2025. The internet is cyclical.

@KSenavaiya I learned a little Tamil during the pandemic - beautiful language!

Is there anyone on #langtwt even considering learning any language from the Indian subcontinent? For some reason it feels like there’s nobody in this group that’s interested in languages from that part of the world.

Very happy to see my debut novel The Smallest Man with a shelf tag at @WaterstonesCroy - thanks to the bookseller who wrote such lovely comments and to @AutoMadchen for spotting it

@paulgibbins So sad about this - Primavera won’t be the same. The burgers were so compelling as well as the amazing people and surroundings

@kolibabski @PetruninMikh5 I have and love this!

They: You have so many books on your bookshelves; you must love reading literature. Me: Well, define 'literature', but yes; I enjoy amassing it for various reasons. Reveal of my newest purchase: @PetruninMikh5's comparative grammar of Romance languages! #langtwt

@libertygal72 I stock up on stuff like this on vinted / eBay - just search a shop name where I know they sell what I’m looking for

Am struggling to find simple cardigans (v-neck not round) that are reasonably priced. Need size 20/22. Everything seems £30 plus about and either too long or not quite right. Want 2 or 3 to mix\match and cover up my top arms. Any ideas?

@languagediary1 I find it so hard to do substantial study around work - I’m a really all or nothing person 😬 hope we can both find a middle ground

I'm thinking of limiting my language study to two hours a day. It's taking over my life a bit, and I'm working less so I have time to study. I need to work more... #langtwt

@franquinn For me it’s silk - so many expensive things I never wear because I hate paying for dry cleaning

@AutoMadchen And I have fallen into it over and over again

Why do I keep buying white linen when I have a black polyester lifestyle?

@CosasDeBlake Great idea! Love the 14 weeks as well

#langtwtSummerReading With summer quickly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and my need to read more in Spanish to improve my proficiency at the advanced level, I thought summer reading might be a fun theme for a language challenge. #langtwt (Read more for details 🧵)

@KevinAbroad1 I have it make up sentences in English for me to translate into Spanish to practice past tenses, kind of like a robot Michel Thomas

Does the fact that chatGPT is only an AI bot, and thus can make mistakes, deters you from using it to learn/practice your target language? Why? Why not?

THE SHAME. I’ve had these stickers on my devices for a few years and never managed to make sense of what the text says…
