Today's Tweets

What I had to say

  • Great language-learning idea from HTLAL forum: get 2 copies of a book, one in each lang, and read them together. Instant bilingual edition! [ 4:23 PM]
  • Just checked out Winnie-the-Pooh and Pu der Bär from the library! #deutschlernen #winning [ 4:28 PM]
  • Descriptivists follow scientific method, presecriptivists biased. RT @LanguageHippie "Some Thoughts on Prescriptivism" http://t.co/BuyAFcr [ 5:28 PM]

Conversations I participated in

  • @STWeston said: @arthaey I'd like to learn a second lang, but I don't know which one to pick. I don't want Spanish (too common in US), and French is hard. [ 5:38 PM]
  • @arthaey said: @STWeston That's one of the very few conlangs you could have used the instant-bilingual-edition trick on. Do you plan to learn a 2nd lang? [ 5:37 PM]
  • @STWeston said: @arthaey Was studying Esperanto, but not anymore. Otherwise, no. [ 5:35 PM]
  • @arthaey said: @STWeston Are you studying any foreign languages? Conlangs don't count for this question. ;) [ 5:35 PM]
  • @I said: @STWeston Du solltest Deutsch lernen! Ich studiere das. :P #deutschlernen #de [ 5:49 PM]
  • @STWeston said: @arthaey my common Spanish joke, BTW, is "Mi no specha da spanich." Jokingly, in horrible mock-Spanish. [ 5:52 PM]
