Ciao! 👋

Benvenuto

As so many like to call it... The language of love. Italian language is one of the most studied languages by English speakers.

This language only has 21 letters in its alphabet! Imagine never having to use j, k, w, x or y.

I love the fact that this language has some words that as English speakers we cannot just translate them into one word and need a whole explanation for them.

My favorites being:

• Menefreghista: This word refers to a person that simply doesn't care about what it's being talked about.
•  Pennichella: This word refers to that nap you take after having lunch.

•  Pantofolaio: This word refers to the person that would rather stay at home than go out.

How easy is Thai language? 😨

Have you ever been told that learning Thai was an easy task? Well, first of all let's take a look at the alphabet.

I'm not trying to scare you, but... This alphabet did scare ME. As an English speaker, I've never seen this type of letters.

Another thing to take into consideration is that in this language there are NO SPACES between words... How crazy is that? Imagine yourself trying to read a word but you just don't know where it ends! Also, there is NO capitalization in Thai.

I'm pretty sure that people learning this language really like a good challenge! Tell me in the comments: Would you be willing to learn Thai? Will it be difficult for you?

German language 🤯

Hallo, wilkommen!

German is such an interesting language that keeps amazing me the more I get to know about it, so I felt like I needed to share this information with you.

1. Nouns

Did you know that all the nouns in German are capitalized? As you may know already, in English, only nouns such as names are capitalized but not here! Because every noun needs to begin with a capital letter. 

Let's check some examples:

• Die Frau trinkt Wasser.
• The woman drinks water. 

•  Der Mann isst das Brot.
• The man eats the bread.

As you could see, in German, any noun will be capitalized and that's a rule!

2. Letters and its sounds

How many of you knew that a w is actually pronounced as v and a v is actually pronounced as f ?

So... yes, when the question wie viel (how many) is brought up in a conversation, you will have to think about twice before you say it.

Another letter with different pronunciation is the s and its sound will depend on what letter is next to it, it can sound like a s, z or sh. And let's not forget about z that has a ts sound.

But hey... what do YOU think? Do you think that you will be able to keep up with all those rules and pronunciation? Will it be easy for you?
