Oh you're a language fan? Speak every language.

Im more of a super + space person :3

I was gonna say that I don't use Alt+Shift because Linux Mint doesn't have a preconfigured shortcut for that and I just assigned keyboard layouts to F7 and F8, but then I double-checked to make sure I wouldn't spread misinformation and it turned out that Linux Mint DOES have preconfigured shortcuts in the keyboard settings. That's something new I learnt today and that's all because of you, so thank you :3

I use win+space because I'm the cool type yo

Or had to use the keybord by memory.

I'll have you know that I regularly do that by accident and switch from UK-US, which is the same except for a few symbols. I usually realise after the 3rd or 4th password attempt.

I use Alt+CapsLock

Every French-speaking qwerty user should learn about https://qwerty-fr.org/. qwerty layout, all French special characters, even the ones that the standard azerty layout does not have, and no dead keys.

Other Latin alphabets might have something similar idk. If you write in Cyrillic, glhf I guess.

We are talking about real languages, not swedish with a potato.

and you try to learn Danish, one of the hardest languages in the world. I mean, same, jeg lærer dansk, but ayoo we need to chill and just pick up spanish or something

Jeg er sikker på dit dansk bliver bedre og bedre :)

Ohhh, kamelåså

patetisk

As a person from a Ukrainian immigrant family who's mom is the last to speak the language, that is just painfully sad. The language is such an important part of the culture and to deny it's existence even to yourself is just sad

Latein ist dem Chat beigetreten.

Easiest way to practice Spanish is to move to a Spanish speaking area where people are terrible at speaking English and just use it out of necessity.

I saw a video of a Spanish author, fluent in English, who said in an interview that he preferred writing in English for more or less these reasons.

Really? My impression is that most of the time English is more imprecise with the meaning of words than my native language, and tends to overload them a lot

one of its "powers" is that it doesn't belong to a certain nation (consider académie française for contrast)

it's not even the "native" language of the country that made it globish. There are native speakers in different countries and none of these variations invalidate others.

consider Indian English, consider Tok Pisin! 🤯

I think other germanic languages are much better at that. Look at german or swedish, they often have much more precise constructions for concepts. Tho langauges are very complex and its very hard to speak generally about them like this. I still hate how english works even tho im basically a native speaker. Standing there and listeneing to a non-native trying to pronounce priests or trying to explain to them what shouldnt've means is painful. Of course my other first language being hungarian this is kinda hypocritical cause thats much more of a bitch to learners.
