I’ve decided to take part in the most popular challenge of studyblr/langblr community. It’s my last week of summer holidays and after my unproductive summer time, I just want to get back on track with learning languages daily.
100 days scares me, I’m really afraid to fail but well… Let’s give it a try.
i’m curious if anyone is interested in the list of 625 common words to know in your target language - polish edition?
if you want me to make it - let me know, if you already made one - tell me as well! i can check it out or reblog to share such important resources around our community ^^
Three words that Polish borrowed from Spanish for some reason:
bailando (dancing) -> bailando/bajlando - in Polish slang this means “a party”
mañana (tomorrow/morning) -> odwalać manianę - to do dumb things, to be irresponsible/lazy (I guess it makes sense when talking about laziness because you always want to do stuff “tomorrow”)
cojones (balls) -> mieć cojones - to have balls (we have our own way of saying that, so I have no clue why this happened)
I’ve been listening to music a lot more during these past few weeks, and decided to make a compilation of 10 songs for each language that I speak. Maybe some people will find it useful/interesting.
If you’re looking to practice a bit and remember your target language better… here are tons of free worksheets/workbooks for 34 languages (Japanese, Spanish, Korean, French, German, etc, etc.)
upfront & obvious disclaimer: account required
It’s the same type of “fill in the blank” workbook across all of their languages but the magic in actually rewriting things over and over is that the words end up sticking. Plus, there are English sections where you’ll have to force yourself to remember and write the word/phrase in the target language - which is even better for your memory (called active recall - forcing yourself to remember). I’m personally a big fan of this approach and I’d do similar to pass vocab quizzes in my HS & uni language classes.
