С наступающим!
[s nastupayuschim]
Here's your Russian phrase of the day (or rather, week). It means "Happy upcoming [New Year]" and is used to wish a happy new year to people who you will likely not see/interact with until after the year turns.
Used lots this week in places like the office, shops and any place where you buy or get something, when saying goodbye to taxi drivers, delivery people, gym clerks, house maintenance etc. etc.

24.01.2023 • tuesday
day one of my language learning challenge:
-> which languages can you speak besides your native language?
my native language is turkish, and i can speak english.
maybe two years has passed since i purchased it, but today i finally started studying the german a2 course i bought on udemy. then i started watching a youtube channel. i think i’ll keep watching both because it’s more fun! apparently german a2 level starts with modalverben, so today i studied them and wrote down some new words. and then, of course, i did my daily duolingo.

Months: January means Styczeń
Tumblr media
The name styczeń probably comes from the word "tyka" (diminuitive "tyczka") - meaning: pole, cane. January was a proper time to produce them and also rows of poles were used to mark snow-covered roads.
The other hypothesis it that it comes from the verb "stykać" - to contact in a context of two object touching each other. So styczeń is the time that new year and old year contact.
You can use the word "tyczka" to informally describe a very high and lean person.

Studying language is really cool, but I don't know how people can focus. I look for stuff for one and find resources for another and get stuck bluescreening between.
You're looking for Hawaiian stuff? That's chill. Oh hey, here's a little tidbit about toki pona. Oh wow, that word reminds me of Spanish. Oh whoops, did you know English grammar is pretty similar to Dutch? Just a fun fact for ya. Oh geez, that website for ASL sure looks useful. Oh hey-

For those learning Russian
Всем привет! I know there are people who learn Russian among my followers. I also run a local club for (Russian) people who learn English. I've been thinking I'd like to connect you people somehow. :)
How about this. Send me or comment with a question and a short intro of yourself (in Russian!) I will forward it to the club and have them answer the questions and write their own intros in English.
No great skill is needed, it's just for a bit of fun :)

GUYS
So you know "bičiulis" in Lithuanian means "best friend"? and it is literally translated as "bee friend"?
Its English equivalent would be
Beestie.
