@vardulero Esperanto absolutely counts! Do you know why you learned Esperanto more quickly than your other L2 languages?

Multilinguals, which of your L2 languages did you learn to a B1 level the fastest and why?

If you could gain total command of one ancient language, which would it be?

If you could experience Holy Week anywhere in Europe, where would you go?

@grahamscheper I propose we reverse the trend and introduce new strong forms like 'arrive, arrove, arrivien' or 'preach, praught, praught.'

English has lost many strong verbs (ie. sing, sang; break, broke) over the years. Here’s how we would say them if they were still strong:
walked -> welk
shaped -> shoop
laughed -> lough (pron. like ‘enough’)
folded -> feld
We are actively losing “shone” as well, which is being replaced by “shined” in common conversation. My dialect has completely relegated it as an archaism; if I said something like “the sun shone” I would probably get strange looks.
More than I usually do, that is.

@vardulero How would you say that your multicultural upbringing had an impact on your current interest in languages?

For those who consider themselves language lovers/nerds/enthusiasts/learners/etc., did you have a bicultural/bilingual or multicultural/multilingual upbringing?

@lindiebee Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, which was the first day of the Jewish week. The Church's week has always started on Sunday.

I was today years old when I learned Americans use a Sunday-start calendar. Why is this? Do you guys frame your weekend days on either side of the week? Why is it so weird to me?

@PolyglotZone How do you practise speaking it in real life if you don’t have many people to practise it with?

🚨 BREAKING: In a bombshell moment, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ABOLISHES H-1B VISAS from being used at state universities
"We can do it with Florida RESIDENTS or AMERICANS! If we can't? Then man, we need to REALLY look deeply at what's going on with this situation!"
DeSantis exposed that H-1B AUDITS found colleges were bringing in Chinese people on visas to talk to students about "public policy," among other issues.
"Why do we need to bring someone from CHINA to talk about public policy?!"
"I am directing today the Florida Board of Governors to PULL THE PLUG on the use of these H-1B visas at our universities."
HUGE! I LOVE my state! @GovRonDeSantis ☀️

TWEEPS: Trump’s tantrum is tanking healthcare for millions, blocking Dems who want to fix it! He is LITERALLY threatening healthcare benefits.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies with #DonaldTrumpsShutdown to make it trend?
Please and thank you! 🙏💪
