Peppa Pig in Different Languages
I’m pretty sure everyone knows who or what Peppa Pig is. If you do, you probably have watched it one time or another when you were little. I used to like it because of the simple vocabulary it has and it gave me great joy when I understood a whole episode in English.
If you’re a language learner you know how difficult it is to listen to shows or movies in your target language because they’re so fast. Peppa Pig is obviously a children’s show, but it has been translated into a lot of different languages that may help out any beginner in a language or anyone who wants to give a watch and see if they understand it! Peppa Pig - being a children’s show - uses slow speech and simple vocabulary that small children can understand, here’s a list of Peppa Pig in different languages you can watch on YouTube:
Albanian - Derkucja Pepa
Arabic - Peppa Pig
Cantonese - Peppa zhū (粉红猪小妹)
Croatian - Pepa Prase
Czech - Prasátko Peppa
Danish - Gurli Gris
Dutch - Peppa Big
Finnish - Pipsa Possu
French - Peppa Pig
German - Peppa Wutz
Greek - Πέππα το Γουρουνάκι
Hungarian - Peppa Malac
Italian - Peppa Pig
Korean - Peppa Pig
Latvian - Cūciņa Pepa
Mandarin - 粉红猪小妹
Norwegian - Peppa Gris
Polish - Świnka Peppa
Portuguese - A Porquinha Peppa
Portuguese (Brazilian) - Peppa Pig
Romanian - Purcelusa Peppa
Russian - Свинка Пеппа
Serbian - Pepa Prase
Spanish - Peppa Pig
Swedish - Greta Gris
Ukrainian - Свинка Пеппа
These are the ones that can be found on YouTube. Unfortunately, there are some languages missing but if anyone knows where one can watch them please feel free to add!

Shout out to the langblrs that aren’t going to uni, didn’t graduate, or dropped out of high school/uni.
Shout out to the langblrs that want to do good in school, but for whatever reason, cannot.
I love you, and keep going and doing your best, no matter what that “best” is.

comrade is gay now. im so glad. straight people you can no longer use this word
This may sound like shitposting but it’s actually 100% true.
Since its introduction into the Chinese Language by revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, the term 同志 (tongzhi, literally “same-will”), had been used to refer to party members by both the CPC and KMT, who founded the current Chinese and Taiwanese governments respectively.
The reclaiming of tongzhi, however, took place in British Hong Kong in the 90s. Following the decriminalisation of male homosexuality in 1991 (which was in turn the result of a huge scandal over the suicide of gay police officer John MacLennan), there were growing media attention on the local gay community, but most reports were homophobic, stereotypical and voyeuristic.
Gay writer Michael Lam (邁克) then begun appropriating the term tongzhi in his film criticism column in City Magazine. His reasoning was this: Since zhi can also mean “orientation”, tongzhi can stand in for “homo-sexuality” without the baggage of negative connotations that were already attached to other often derogatory terms (FYI: the term 基, a homophonic transformation of ‘gay’, was used in similar veins as ‘fags’ and ‘queers’ have been in the West).
Tongzhi was later further popularised by playwright Edward Lam (林奕華), who curated the first gay and lesbian film festival in Hong Kong under the Chinese name 同志電影節 (Tongzhi Film Festival). This later spread to Taiwan and Mainland China over the years, and is, arguably equivalent of the umbrella term “LGBT” in the Greater China regions.
Polish Music Masterpost
I know how important it is to listen to music in your target language so for those of you who are learning Polish (but not only) I decided to share some of my favourite Polish musicians and their songs which I like the most. There is a lot of excellent Polish musicians and I’m not able to include them all because I simply don’t listen to all of them so if you have any other liked Polish singers/bands etc. you’re more than welcome to add them to my list :)
1) Taco Hemingway - rapper, I don’t listen to any kind of rap but I just love Taco, I highly recommend you to check out the lyrics of his songs on genius.com, they’re all so deep and meaningful.
515
6 Zer
Następna Stacja
Koła
Wosk
Wiatr
Deszcz Na Betonie (personally my favourite song of his)
2) Dawid Podsiadło - pop singer, despite making great songs with amazing clips, he’s also an absolute babe and cinnamon roll, I was at his concert this May and he’s such a great guy in person. Additionally, he sings in both Polish and English what makes him even more awesome.
W Dobrą Stronę
Pastempomat (I love this song SO MUCH)
Trójkąty i Kwadraty
Nieznajomy
No
Wataha
4:30
3) Organek - another Polish singer whom I’ve discovered quite recently, I attented his concert in May and afterwards I started to listen to him like mad, I love his voice and he’s also 10/10 babe if you know what I mean.
Mississippi w Ogniu
Głupi Ja
Kate Moss
O, Matko!
4) Monika Brodka - her music is quite peculiar but I enjoy it anyway, she’s got nice songs and amazing voice. And she also has songs in both Polish and English!
Granda
Varsovie
W Pięciu Smakach
Saute
Elektryczny (she’s only featuring here but she rocks anyway)
5) Czesław Mozil - oh God how I love this man. He lived in Denmark for most of his life and that’s why he struggles with speaking Polish (what is adorable af) but when he sings my heart literally melts. And he dubbed Olaf in the Polish version of Frozen, how cool is that?!
Maszyna do Świerkania
Krucha Blondynka
Zanim Pójdę (this song is actually a cover of another Polish band happysad and you can check out the original here, it’s one of the most recognizable Polish songs I guess)
W Sam Raz
6) Karolina Czarnecka - she’s not only a singer but also a stage actress, my best friend’s ex-boyfriend introduced me her songs and to be honest that’s the only good thing he has done.
Chwytaj Ten Stan
Za Siedmioma Górami
Demakijaż
Zjawa
Hera Koka Hasz LSD (singing this song on the actor’s song contest has made her popular and for a month or two the Polish Internet was really crazy about this song, mostly because it’s about drugs, I don’t enjoy it as much as her other songs but I decided to put it here anyway)
Okay, so I think that’s enough for now, I’ll probably create more posts with Polish music but I’d really appreciate if you let me know what you think. Of course don’t hesitate to reblog with your favourite Polish music if you have any!
Show off your Chinese! Pronounce ‘1’ the right way
One of the first things you probably learned when studying Mandarin is how to count to 10. But did you know that the number “1” actually has another, special pronunciation?
In most cases you will just pronounce the number “1” as “一 (yī)” when wanting to say “one.” There is just one exception, when you are telling a phone number. So why do phone numbers get a special sound? The reason is very much the same as in the US military, who created another way of pronouncing the letters in the alphabet to avoid miscommunication. The word “一 (yī) one” sounds very much like the number “7 七 (qī)” because they both end in “i.” So, it can be very hard to distinguish between these two words, especially if you are in high stakes such as a battle.
Actually, the sound “yāo” can replace “yī” when discussing phone numbers or room numbers. For example, when telling someone the number of the police in China, they would say “yāo yāo líng” instead of “yī yī líng” to read “110.” Or when you go to a hotel, the staff might say your room number is “105 (yāo líng wǔ).”
The reason the sound “yāo” was chosen was because, in Chinese, “幺 (yāo)” means youngest and, in numbers, one is also the smallest.
So, what happens if you are giving someone your phone number and you say “yī” instead of “yāo?” Nothing really. It might cause some minor miscommunication, but really using the word “yāo” stands to make your Chinese sound more fluent. Saying “yī” can make you stand out as a non-native Chinese speaker. Give using “yāo” a try to send your Chinese to the next level!
Examples:
Jenny: Nǐ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì shénme? Jenny: 你 的 电话 号码 是 什么? Jenny: What is your phone number?
Lisa: Yāo, wǔ, bā, jiǔ, líng, jiǔ, jiǔ, wǔ, liù, yāo, yāo Lisa: 1 - 5 - 8 - 9 - 0 - 9 - 9 - 5 - 6 - 1 - 1 Lisa: 158-9099-5611
Wǒ zhù zài zhè dòng lóu de sān yāo wǔ hào fáng. 我 住 在 这 栋 楼 的 3 1 5 号 房。 I live in this building’s room 315.
The number 2 in Chinese also has a special usage. That is to say, there are two words for saying 2 in Chinese. Do you know them? Learn about them here.

I ♥ mathematics
Some days ago I noticed a brilliant bumper sticker, saying “I ♥ topology” where the heart was replaced by a topologically homeomorphic disk (●). Amused by the idea, I tried to work out some related versions for other mathematical subjects. Here they are:
For geometry, the obvious choice was a cardioid:
I’m thinking of changing “Algebra” into “Arithmetic” here:
A connect-the-dots heart for graph theory:
Perhaps fractals aren’t really a mathematical subject on their own, but nevertheless they are too popular:
Too bad a heart shape doesn’t have that many symmetries:
This one is difficult categorizing! It’s related to Frobenius algebras, module and representation theory, topological quantum field theory… Which mathematical subject should it represent?
A knotted heart for knot theory:
I like this one, the Lorenz attractor for chaos theory:
The heart-shaped Bonne projection:
I hope you recognize a Venn diagram here:
Hmmm, statistics, a pie chart?
Finally, this is the one it all started with:
What do you guys think? I’m still thinking about a heart for genuine algebra, linear algebra, number theory, combinatorics and mathematical logic. Please share any remarks, ideas, subjects?

It’s been an emotional week. I wanted to share this encounter I had with a very hateful man on the Pittsburgh bus because it reminds me that there are brave people in this world. Let’s all do everything we can to stand up for each other.
