10 Polyglot Things to Do This September

10 Polyglot Things to Do This October

The accent circonflexe (^) exists in French words to replace the “s” that no longer exists but used to be there in older French.

For example: fenêtre used to be fenestre

être  → estre (es, est, sommes, ê[s]tes, sont ; ser-)

some French derivations become clearer :

fenêtre   → défenestrer → L. fenestra

fête   → festival

hôpital → hospitaliser (E. hospital, ise)

intérêt  → intéressant (E. interest, -ing)

ancêtre  → ancestral (E. ancestor, -ral)

arrêt    → arrestation

épître  → épistolaire (E. epistle)

some English cognates become more obvious :

hôtel  → hostel (E. ‘hotel’ borrowed from French)

forêt  → forest (tipp to remember ^ goes on the ‹e›)

bête  → beast

côte  → coast

honnête → honest

pâte, pâté → pasta, paste

quête   → quest

enquête  → inquest

tempête  → tempest

vêtements → vestments (ie. clothes)

baptême → baptism

sometimes, the acute replaces the circumfex for phonetic reasons :

ḗcole   → escole → L. schola (E. school)

ḗtranger   → estrangier (E. stranger)

ḗtudier   → estudier (E. study)

dḗgoûtant → desgoustant (E. disgusting)

dḗbarquer → desembarquer (E. disembark)

rḗpondre  → respondre (E. respond)

rḗpublique → L. res publica

Also, where « c → ch » (eg. cantare→ chanter) :

château → castel (E. castle)

pêcher → L. piscare

and « w → gu » (eg. war→ guerre ; warden→ guardian) :

guêpe → E. wasp ! (this is my n° 1 favourite cognate)

bonus etymologies :

tête   → L. testa

fantôme  → L. phantasma (E. ‘phantom’ borrowed from French)

Pâques  → Gk. pásxa → Am. pésaḫ (E. Paschal)

Here are just a few ideas how to use French on a daily basis. You’ve probably already read these or heard about them before, so it’s a reminder for you:

1) Listen to podcasts/ French music/ French news stations while going to work/ uni/ school

I always listen to the podcast Transfert while riding my bike to uni. 20 minutes there and in the evening 20 minutes back

–>you get used to real people talking about an interesting topic

2) follow French sites/ people on facebook/ tumblr/ Instagram

3) use French news apps: Le monde etc, for a quick glance at what’s happening

4) turn all of your devices to French: phone, tumblr, facebook

5) while you wait for someone/ something: do duolingo or revise vocab with memrise/ quizlet

6) you wanna relax and watch the new season of a show? Why not in French? This way you can relax and feel good about improving your French. Use French subtitles if it helps you.

Advanced level: write down the vocab you don’t know

7) When you’re home alone: Let’s admit it, we all talk to ourselves from time to time. Why not do it in French? “Alors, maintenant je vais ranger ma chamber. Mes voisins m’énnervent beaucoup aujourd’hui. J’ai hâte de voir ce film.” …

I’m supposed to be studying some Italian, but instead, I was googling in my computer how to learn a new language (no, googling how to learn will not teach you shit, you have to sit down and learn your target language not how to do it, I know but I’m lazy.) and I came across LingoHut, and I have to share it.

I don’t know if someone ever talked about this page, but if they did is worth mentioning again.

So basically you go to the website and in the Home Page you have to choose what is your first language and what language are you trying to learn.

Once you choose it’ll take you to another page in which you have tons of lessons, for ex. In Italian, there are 109 lessons.

I haven’t checked every lesson yet but for example, the first one is greetings and such. You click that lesson and you have 16 flashcards that will show you the word in your target language and the translation, at the same time that someone pronounces the words.

Below the flashcards, you have this  ⬇️

And basically is a bunch of game, an easy matching words kind of game, some kind of tic tac toe with words, a memory game do you know the one that kids play in which they have to find the matching pictures? Same but with words and lastly a listening and matching game.

Below the bar of the games, we have the vocabulary list of the words we are taught in that lesson, and you can click the word and listen the pronunciation.

In the end, you have a bunch of the next lessons.

The lessons vary from the content it can be greetings, numbers, health stuff, office words, computer terminology, etc.

The website doesn’t have every language in the world, but it has a lot of them. choose your target language, in my case Italian, and enjoy, is fun and simple if you want to practice or do something related to your target language but you don’t have the willingness that day to study something more consistent like structure.

1. When the 받침 is followed by a ㅇ (silent), it’s carried over.

물은 is pronounced “무른" 꽃이 is pronounced “꼬치" 읽어 is pronounced “일거"

2. When the 받침 is at the end of the word or followed by a consonant, it softens. ㅂ/ㅍ –> “ㅂ", ㄷ/ㅌ/ㅅ/ㅆ/ㅈ/ㅊ –> “ㄷ", ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ –> ㄱ

앞 is pronounced “압" 옷 is pronounced “옫" 밖 is pronounced “박"

3. When the 받침 is followed by ㅁ/ㄴ, it may be pronounced differently. ㅂ/ㅍ –> “ㅁ", ㄷ/ㅌ/ㅅ/ㅆ/ㅈ/ㅊ –> “ㄴ", ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ –> ㅇ

꽃물 is pronounced “꼰물" 볶니 is pronounced “봉니" 앞만 is pronounced “암만"

4. When ㄴ is followed by ㄹ or visa versa, ㄴ is pronounced “ㄹ”.

연락 is pronounced “열락" 진리 is pronounced “질리" 달님 is pronounced “달림"

5. When two 받침 are at the end of the word or followed by a consonant, the 2nd is silent.

없다 is pronounced “업다" 읽자 is pronounced “일자" 여덟 is pronounced “여덜"

6. When ㄷ/ㅌ is followed by a vowel, it’s sometimes pronounced “ㅈ/ㅊ”.

These are for Android, but I’m sure you can find similar apps for iOS too.

좋은글모음 Play Store link This one gives you a 명언 ‘wise saying’ everyday. It also has a widget function so you don’t have to open it everyday. I write down each day’s saying in my notebook. The app’s interface is clean and really pretty. Search for ‘명언’ or ‘ 좋은 글’ to find similar apps!

마시멜로 이야기 Play Store You can set a 목표 ‘goal’ and everytime you complete it, it gives you a marshmallow. Or more, because you can set the number of marshmallows you’ll receive for completed goals. You can set more goals, due dates…and it also has a widget function, which asks you if you completed the goal for today, if yes then you receive marshmallows! If not, they take the same amount of marshmallows you would have received. :(  Search for ‘ 목표달성’ or ‘ 습관 만들기’ to find similar apps!

씀 Play Store This one gives you two titles a day, and you can write you thoughts about it. You can check the previous titles too. This is great if you would like to write but you have no idea what to write about. You can read other’s writing too. This app’s interface is really clean, but if you want to read other’s writings you have to wait since it tends to be a bit slow.

띄어쓰기 Play Store 띄어쓰기 means ‘spacing words‘. You have to learn how to properly space words when writing Korean. You can learn&play at the same time with this app. It gives you a sentence with two words highlighted. You have to decide whether they belong together or they need a space between them. Then it shows whether your answer is right or wrong, then the full sentence written correctly, and an explanation in Korean. It saves your answers so you can go back and check what you did wrong. Check this app’s developer, they have some nice apps! You can find similar apps if you search for ‘ 띄어쓰기 ‘.  Also search for ‘ 맞춤법’ which means orthography, the rules of spelling!
