It took a while but here is my @polyglotgathering diary. I wrote down the talks I went to (and wish I could go to but they overlapped with others @@ Finnish/estonian😭) some notes from talks! This was my third time but first time joining the whole gathering and I am really happy I did and wanna thank all the organisers for this 🙌 I tagged some of the people who gave interesting talks, but will mention them again in a more specific post about my favourite things ☺️. Hope to go to the polyglot Conference in Bologna for the first time..! This was inspired by a post by @mapetidye . What about your categories?? Today is Estonian Independence Day, so here is some info on it compared to Finnish! Things from last year but also quite a few new things!! What about you?? 🇫🇮 Got a Finnish Assimil & you can get a discount for Uötimate language books (link in bio) - not sure this is gonna be my Finnish year as I sang to keep sticking on Japanese (now on a break ish due to no time). Luckily Scandinavian languages are a no brainer and i can read anything in them !! Last slide are books I kinda started but have no time for them and i practice by practicing them #polyglot #languagelearning #languagestudy #polyglotcommunity Thanks to @tandem.arnhem for organising the language cafe🩷 Some plans for when I’ll have time so realistically during Christmas holidays 🍬 first want to finish some things I started in Japanese and then asap get back to Finnish which I had to neglect for s long time 🇫🇮 🇯🇵 can’t wait to read the Japanese original book that inspired Kiki’s delivery service (studio ghibli). Some days ago I realized the actual meaning of a word and picked some others from the collection of words with cute literal meaning I already had! Enjoy! Whats your favourite? Please correct me if anything here is wrong! Here is the summary to my blog post about the anchor language method to learn a whole language family, more or less.. !!
