I’m thinking about starting #100daysoflanguagelearning on March 21. 📚 Has anyone done it? What was your experience? Anyone interested in having me as their accountability partner? 🤗

Hi #lingtwt #langtwt Help me out! What books, videos, websites, podcasts, and other resources would you recommend for an 11yo (not mine) who's become interested in language and linguistics? (Into conlangs, has been learning IPA etc.) Thanks!

Hot take: we should stop asking people what their favorite book is. There are too many fantastic books to just choose one. I don’t know about you, but I much rather answer “what books are you currently loving?” or “have you read any standout books lately?”

#langtwt What apps do you use to track and log your study time and tasks? I’ve used @Polylogger in the past but it’s disappeared from my App Store.

Italian singer, Adriano Celentano, released a gibberish song in the 1970s meant to sound like English. It ended up being a big hit.

Hey #langtwt! There's a free short course starting today to learn Noongar language and culture! I was born and grew up on Noongar country in southwest Western Australia, and it's so exciting to be able to connect to Noongar culture through language! edx.org/learn/language/curti…
