Mme ZabetThing I remembered today when shopping for fancy mason jar lids:When I was a little kid, since I had never seen it written down and was in a French class by the tender age of 5, I assumed they were "maison jars" -- i.e. jars you used at home to make pickles rather than buying pickles at the store, which came in their own jar.("Maison" means "house" or "home" in French.)<a href="https://craftgoblin.club/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageLearning</a> <a href="https://craftgoblin.club/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#French</a> <a href="https://craftgoblin.club/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://craftgoblin.club/tags/LanguageNerdProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageNerdProblems</a> <a href="https://craftgoblin.club/tags/LanguageAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageAcquisition</a>

Adam Jacobs CrouseLately I've been watching/listening to a lot of content about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ComprehensibleInput" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComprehensibleInput</a> regarding <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LanguageAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageAcquisition</a> . What's been tripping me up is that most content creators say the Goldilocks range is knowing 95-98% of the words and then a few minutes later they say that you should only be highlighting unknown words once every page or two. If each page has 250-750 words and 2-5% of words on the page are unknown, the MATH says 4-40 words on each page are unknown. 1/2 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languagelearning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/langtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langtoot</a>

Court Cantrell will not complyGot a reminder this evening of a spectacular German word: "Arschgeige" (loosely pronounced "ARSH guy guh"). It's a word used for a person who's a complete screw-up.

Sylke KrämerMy son grew up bilingually in the UK. We spoke German at home and English outside (at least in the first years, then it got increasingly mixed). I never noticed him changing his baby babbling sounds around English speakers (as per the linked article) but I wasn’t really paying attention to that. What I did notice was how similar all babies sounded, all of them producing more or less the same sounds at first, and how these were actively supported by the grown-ups with different interpretations, the main one I remember being “da-da”. As a German I took that to mean something like “there, there” whereas all English speakers took this to be “daddy”. It annoyed me at the time but looking back it’s actually quite funny. And yes, this is how babies are learning the meaning of sounds through reinforcement.<a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/09/15/1199739624/baby-babble-isnt-just-goo-goo-and-hearing-2-languages-is-better-than-one" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/09/15/1199739624/baby-babble-isnt-just-goo-goo-and-hearing-2-languages-is-better-than-one</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Baby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baby</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LanguageAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageAcquisition</a>

Elizabeth Wrigley-FieldThere is almost no overlap between her spoken and gestural words (one quasi-exception: one of her first gestures was "dog," although I think RAAAAAWR is clearly representing the bark, not the dog). She shakes her head no and does not yet nod, but she said "yeah" and has no verbal no<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LanguageAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageAcquisition</a>
