It started as a tiny vocab word, drifting through the vast ocean of learning.
With every lesson, it grew braver, brighter, and friendlier.
Now, we have some other Whale Level learners. 🐋
Where will your learning journey take your fish?

End of the month (but not for studying language)! Time to have a laugh with some memes :D

#italki #langsky
A four-tier brain meme that humorously evolves from using “who” to “whom,” then “whomst,” and finally “whomst’d,” with each level showing increasingly glowing brain illustrations. A classic language learning joke showing exaggerated sophistication in word choice. italki logo and #languagelearning included. Meme showing Bugs Bunny wearing royal robes and a crown, with the caption: “German learners after finally saying the verb at the end of the sentence.” A funny take on mastering German sentence structure. italki logo and #languagelearning included. A three-panel Winnie the Pooh meme illustrating the evolution from “Learning a Language” to “Discovering a New Culture” to “Gaining a New Perspective,” each panel showing Pooh in increasingly refined attire. Emphasizes the deeper benefits of language learning. italki logo and #languagelearning included. Meme from The Office featuring Pam holding signs labeled “Italian” and “Spanish,” with a caption: “Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture,” and Pam saying, “They’re the same picture.” Pokes fun at the similarities between Romance languages. italki logo and #languagelearning included.

Oktoberfest kicks off Sept 20 🍺 — when cultures from around the world raise their glasses in every language: ¡Salud! Santé! Kanpai! Prost! and more. But beware… one of these ‘cheers’ is an imposter. Can you spot it before your next sip?

#italki #langsky
Illustration of a festive Oktoberfest-themed graphic featuring nine cartoon beer mugs, each styled with a different national flag and a common toast expression in that country's language. The text at the top reads “There’s one imposter among us.” The mugs and toasts are as follows: 🇪🇸 Spain: “¡Salud!” 🇵🇹 Portugal: “Saúde!” 🇷🇺 Russia: “На здоровье! (Na zdoróvye!)” 🇳🇱 Netherlands: “Proost!” 🇹🇭 Thailand: “ชนแก้ว! (Chon gâew!)” 🇬🇷 Greece: “Γειά μας!” 🇹🇷 Turkey: “Şerefe!” 🇩🇪 Germany: “Cin Cin!” (note: “Cin Cin” is actually Italian, not German) At the bottom, the word “OKTOBERFEST” is written in large green letters above two frothy beer mugs clinking together, suggesting a celebration. Decorative bunting in red, yellow, and green stretches across the top, adding a festive vibe. The “imposter” refers humorously to the mismatch between the toast and flag on one of the mugs.

Some Spanish words just don’t bother with an English twin

Fluency starts with showing up — even when your tongue trips.
Be brave enough to sound imperfect. That’s how it begins. 💬🔥

How to say “no” in French:

Level 1: non
Level 10: non mais ça va pas la tête ! 😤

Not all no’s are created equal.
