@CleoQc Spanish, my first language as well. and sometimes grammar simplification doesn't help... also sounds.. the fact that sheet and shit use the same vowel sound in Spanish, but not in English stills frightens me.
The auxiliary prepositions.. take out, take off, take in, take up, take ... whatever...I don't want to believe a English speaker is better when learning Spanish/French than a romance language speaker learning English.
@jubiloMX @CleoQc @stephanie @chris @pycomtois YES! Auxiliary prepositions are a PITA and still trip me!

@jubiloMX @CleoQc @bougiewonderland @chris @pycomtois same. I was learning Spanish and German in college too, and they were both difficult, even if, of course German was harder because it was so different. Learning a language, when it's not taught to you as a child, is difficult. Period. It takes work and determination.

@jubiloMX
Indeed there are challenges when learning English from a romance language. When in doubt, I avoid those propositional phrases and favour more advanced vocabulary. Coming from French, it usually means using the anglicized version of the standard French word. It's almost cheating 😀 -
@CleoQc @stephanie @jubiloMX @chris @pycomtois Even among Anglo translators! Those that do keep up with some French content tend to stick to European sources. In my particular specialty, knowing Canadian colloquialisms is essential, yet I’m always baffled at seeing my colleagues paying no attention to French Canadian content.
Anyway, all this to say, it’s sort of force-fed to us, which, as unpleasant as it is, of course facilitates learning!

@stephanie @jubiloMX @chris @pycomtois I always reply, “are you saying Francophones are more intelligent than Anglophones? I certainly don’t think so!”

@jubiloMX @CleoQc @bougiewonderland @stephanie @pycomtois lets just get this out there....
a lot of English speakers don't like speaking other languages.... particularly those with British heritage.
The French Immersion program was the single most important thing P. Trudeau did to break that

@chris @jubiloMX @CleoQc @bougiewonderland @pycomtois thank you for saying it; we couldn't haha 😆

@chris Et après 5 ans en poste, elle est toujours incapable de parler français. 🙄
@pycomtois Francophones do not have such a great history in embracing other languages either. But maybe Canadians are different in that. @chris

Our current Governor General Mary Simon -- Titular Commander of our Armed Forces in the King's adsence -- is Inuk, and grew up in traditional life. (yes, dog sleds, Donald!)
Her Inuk name is: Ningiukudluk
It means: “bossy little old lady”.
I am absolutely sure #TheAmericanFascist would hate her. 👍
She has a long career in Arctic/Inuk/Circumpolar politics. She will be in Nuuk next month to open Canada's new consulate.

Arctic Solidarity. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰
For those not familiar, Nunavut is a Canadian territory encompassing most of the Canadian Arctic including Baffin Island where its capital, Iqaluit, is located.
There are deep historic and ancestral ties, but also very current familial ties between Greenlander and Canadian Inuit peoples. There are international flights between Iqaluit and Nuuk.

Secondo me sarebbe meglio che loro annettessero noi...

@Alberto non sarebbe male SE fosse l'Italia a diventare come la Confederazione e non viceversa 🤣

@clf I haven't been eating pizza for a long time. How long? I can't remember, but my feed will probably be a good reference.
