My favourite word for “slow motion”from another language is the German Zeitlupe. It means “time magnifying glass”

German I've got pleasantries in, but most everyone who's spoken German to me also speaks English, so that's got less pressure to learn.
I'd love to add on an African language, but French and Arabic covers a lot there.

As someone with a passable command of German as a second language (and technically Bayrisch as a third?), I gotta tell you, if you're a native English speaker and someone stumbles a little on our fucked up nonsense? Extend them every grace possible and give them a second to try again.

One of the things that stood out most as I was learning German (and tooling around with Japanese kinda tangentially at the same time) is - and some of you might hate to hear it - just how fucking dumb English is.
English is an utter bastard of a language - anyone trying to speak English is a hero.

I just learned that a word from my regional German dialect entered the Turkish language. Crazy.
The word Grumbier / Krumpir means groundberry = potato in our dialect.
This became Kumpir in Turkish, a dish of oven baked filled potatoes. It was brought to the Balkans and Turkey with German settlers.

Saw this play out during my internship in Germany. We had free German language tuition, so everyone signed up. After a couple of months, all the Brits dropped out — because they had no understanding of grammar as a concept, let alone how it might apply to German.

The German word for 'first', erste, is unsurprisingly unrelated to English's, but I like how each has a current cognate in the other language.
The English word is related to German Fürst 'prince' (the 'foremost', like Latin princeps), while the cognate of German erste can be found in 'erstwhile'.

It sucks to have spent 14 years learning a language and then left it dormant for 10 years so basically I can read novels and watch TV shows in German without issue, but if I go to speak or write, I am forced to rely heavily on Denglisch.

Not just a nice article about how accommodation of their native language is helping displaced children - it contains the nugget that Anchorage School District has immersion programmes in Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, German, French and Russian. So impressive! 😮😍
An immersion program that helps preserve an Alaska Native language has been a boon to children displaced by last month's severe flooding in western Alaska.
