Level Up Or Learn A New Language?

So, you might be learning your ninth language and people keep on asking "When will you stop learning languages?" Instead of having an answer to that question, you came up with more questions, "Will you level up one language or learn a new language?"

6 Local Writing Systems in Indonesia

Indonesia is a vast country in Southeast Asia that anyone can recognize easily on the map because it borders the sea, thus its country border is also the sea border. Hundreds of ethnic groups and languages exist in Indonesia. Despite having numerous writing systems, the government recognizes the Latin alphabet as the official writing system, which was introduced during the colonization by the Europeans.

I speak 4 languages in Penang Malaysia and I shall learn 1 more language

I spoke 4 languages: Hokkien, Indonesian, English, and Mandarin on my recent trip to Penang. There was no communication barrier since the Penangnites are mostly multilingual too, at least, they know a bit of each language. They are also familiar with the Indonesian language because of the many tourists from Indonesia, either for tourism or medical checkups. I had learnt Tamil before but it was not enough for me to have a conversation yet. I will learn Tamil more seriously from now on, so I can use it on my next trip to Penang.

5 Famous Polyglots and Their Learning Techniques

You may have watched videos of people speaking in multiple languages. Some of them even call themselves hyperpolyglots. Whether they really can speak fluently or not, we don't know unless we test them. However, here I shall present 5 renowned polyglots that have been on the news, in the community worldwide and have proved their exceptional linguistic capabilities.

This is how I remember the Braille alphabet

Trying to remember the Braille dots is like trying to remember mathematics formulas. Dots are fit into a 3x2 shape, making everything look similar. The difference is just one or two dots and the position of the dots. It would help if you had creative techniques to memorize them. Firstly, you must divide it into 3 groups: A-J, K-T, and U-Z. This is because the second and third groups derive from the first group. Each letter from the first group is paired with the dot on the left bottom to make each letter from the second group. Each letter from the first group is paired with two dots at the bottom to make each letter from the third group. An exception is for W, which has only one dot on the right bottom. I memorize some of the alphabets using tricks and some without tricks. Dots for D look like the top right shape of the letter D. Dots for F look like the top left shape of the letter F. Dots for G are special because they make a square shape. Dots for H look like the top left shape of t

Why did Esperanto fail as a common language?

I learned Esperanto out of curiosity, and I am not a fanatic Esperantist. I know many Esperantists from various countries, even those who don’t speak English or other major international languages well. Our friendship wouldn’t have happened without Esperanto. Esperanto is successful in this aspect. I believe Esperanto is not perfect, no language in this world is perfect. Esperanto is not perfect or has failed because people who opposed it promote negative comments about it. If they don’t want to learn it, they can leave it and don’t need to comment. They express negative comments in articles or videos to attract uneducated followers who would jump to conclusions without further research. Esperanto is indeed Euro-centric. The creator lived in a European neighborhood. Esperanto would be Asian-centric if the creator had lived in Asia when he created Esperanto. This Euro-centric characteristic is not a problem for Asian Esperantists. They care more about how useful Esperanto is than what E

Ivatan: A language from a place closer to Taiwan than the Philippines

A group of islands lie in the seawater between Taiwan and the Philippines. This group of islands makes up the northernmost province of the Philippines: the Batanes province. Besides, it is also the smallest in population and land area. Less than 20,000 live in this province and speak the Ivatan language, whose standard is based on the Basco dialect from Basco the capital of this province located in the Batan island.

9 Multilingual News Websites For Reading Practice

Learners learn languages in many different ways, such as attending language classes, playing games, or listening to audio. Whatever the methods are, they usually cover four aspects of language learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Mastering only one or two of these is not enough because, in reality, we read, listen, speak, and write.
