#language lover

But I've been wondering, how many languages do you speak? And to what level?

If you don't mind sharing. Because it feels like I see you talking about them all the time and that's super cool.

I love languages and yessss. So I'd love to know, haha!

Feel free to ignore this ask if you don't wanna share :)

Hello!

I don’t mind sharing it as much as you’re aware that I don’t learn languages for vanity and for the taste of saying “I know so many languages so I’m cooler than you!”. But I learn languages because I’m genuinely interested in them and I like discovering new cultures. And they may always turn out useful, right?

Also, I won’t judge anyone struggling with learning languages and/or knowing lesser languages. Each one of us has their own learning processes and interests.

Let’s start with Italian, my native language. Then come English and French -I’m at a very confident level.

At a lower level of confidence come Swedish, German and Spanish. (There may be some cheating here because, as an Italian, I find Spanish easily understandable. And a lot of vocabulary is similar😜).

I’d also like to learn some new languages, including some non-European ones! I’m way too curious.

Pour fair réviser mon français, j'ai écoute mon playlist "français" sur Spotify. L'une de mes chansons préférées dans ce playlist c'est "Demain3 par Bigflo Oli et Petit Biscuit. C'est une chanson avec un peu un style de rap et les paroles sont un peu tristes, mais elles me rappellent beaucoup de ma stage de vie actuelle en entrant mes trentaines.

De toute façon, les chansons de Bigflo Oli ont beaucoup de français parlé je crois, donc je vais partager les mots et les phrases de cette chanson que j'ai chérchés aujourd'hui:

- je casse mes affaires : I break my things

- je me remets ce vieux son : "I'm putting that old track back on"

- se balader dans ma tête : wandering around in my head

Voici la chanson: https://youtu.be/d-VE9Kba3GY?is=6W6vyA_E1zyYKI8r

Etonnamment je comprends la plupart de cette chanson, peut-être la prochaine fois je dois choisir une autre chanson apprendre de nouveuax mots ou phrases.

1. Je venais d'obtenir mon deuxième master en counseling. Ca me permettra de devenir thérapeute. Je suis en train de trouver du boulot à temps plein, mais c'est pas trop facile dans ce marché du travail de nos jours. J'ai déjà reçu quelques formes ou invitations d'appel de présélection, donc ça c'est du bon nouvel mais on verra.

2. Je venais aussi de revenir de l'Europe ! On est allé en Irelande, Norvège, et Islande. Mon préféré des trois c'était Norvège, mais je vais peut-être expliquer plus dans un autre article !

With other people based in the Netherlands I am trying to organize Polyglot meet-ups. If you live in the Benelux or neighbouring areas or can come to NL feel free to message me!

Meet-up locations will be based off the whereabouts of people joining.

🌍 Four languages, one fun connection! 🌍

Ever wondered how to say English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Arabic in Hebrew? Watch this video and learn to pronounce them like a pro! 🗣️✨

Fun fact: Spanish and English both borrowed the word coffee from Arabic (qahwa – קָהְוָה – قهوة), while Hebrew calls it café (קָפֶה), just like Spanish! ☕

As we close out 2024 and look toward a peaceful, hopeful 2025, I want to share this little love lesson with you once more. In Hebrew, we say “Ahavah.” A simple word, yet so full of meaning.

How do you say “love” in your language? Share it in the comments and let’s fill this space with love, connection, and positivity. It’s always such a joy to see how this universal word comes to life around the world.
