@Daniel_R_Isbell Wow, very high stakes! And with ~20,000 people, it seems inevitable that at least a few won't pass. I hope there are more accommodations and exemptions than the article discusses.

@Daniel_R_Isbell And with all that money (~50x the usual grad student stipend!) you wouldn't have to TA! Truly the easiest "would you rather" I've ever heard.

You just can’t imagine the self-control for me — phonetician, Spanish speaker, learning scientist — to listen silently as the people behind me in the cafe discussed Spanish and Portuguese dialects and accents in South America and Europe 👀 #LurkingLinguist

@YeahThatCindy This strikes me as very Canadian. And anyway, sprinkling French words into English is fancy, but the other way around is... asking for trouble (in Canada)

Ok so I’ve seen Eng-French and Eng-Spanish packaging with both langs, where the word in common is spelled the same across both langs (eg the “Vote Aquí”/“Vote Here” signs) But I don’t think I had ever noticed bilingual packaging where the word isn’t spelled the same? 😍

@YeahThatCindy My partner and I just had this same conversation except it was "international moves" and "a snorkel". I am determined to snorkel again! Keep the dream alive, Cindy!!

How many cross-country moves are necessary before I can finally admit to myself that I just don’t make cookies? Why do I have all these cookie cutters? Will I finally get rid of them? Cindy, the reality is you just don’t make cookies!!!!!

@tzDAK @matt_boot_ @duolingo There's a Cantonese course now! But it's for Mandarin speakers. Still, I think that makes it more likely we could one day see a Cantonese for English speaker course 🤞🏻

@matt_boot_ @duolingo It's a good list, but I'm curious which Persian language you had in mind. Iranian, Farsi, Dari, or something else? Or did you mean like all three of those each as its own course? Off the top of my head, in addition to those I would really like to see them add Cantonese.

Academia *didn’t* work out, so I’m out here doing other things and growing to love them, too. As they say, publish or perspective 😌

@Daniel_R_Isbell I just happened to see this morning that Harvard does not require English proficiency test results
