There’s only one week left to sign up, so I want to take this as an opportunity to address an often-mentioned reservation about signing up:
“No one but me will want to sign up for my language anyway.”
At the point of composing this post, 15 languages have been nominated, meaning there is interest in much more than just the “big” languages, since every nomination means interest for it by at least one person!

Bahasa Indonesia | Indonesian

In Portuguese and Spanish there are two verbs for the verb "to be": ser and estar.
So when do you use which one?
Ser is used regarding more permanent ways of being, such as one's name, hometown, nationality, etc.
Estar, on the other hand, is used for things that change over time, like your feelings, where you are, who you're with at any given time, what grade you're in at school, etc.
The title of Frozen's Let It Go song was translated into both Portuguese and Spanish as "I am Free", but in Portuguese the song uses the verb estar while Spanish uses the verb ser.
