Every other country in the world teaches English as a second language and another language is mandatory. Only in xenophobic racist America do we not teach a second language as mandatory education. The world has polyglots & we have polyrots. Absolutely shameful.

Make America Polyglots. Everyone should be speaking multiple languages IMHO.

opposite, they think it's the height of american arrogance to assume that people in other countries aren't all polyglots fluent in at least two languages, probably three. "not everyone else is as lazy as you people" was thrown around the thread at one point lol

Polyglots what is your secret to switch between coding languages?

I do a lot of #rstats and #sql development and more recently getting into bash and lua and I waste a lot of time on simple errors because of the conventions used by each language

they probably meant that the two languages have significant overlap in terms of semantics, and many programs will be valid for both.

ofc, saying that two languages intersect doesn't mean much when polyglots exist.

I have seen some polyglots do it on Instagram, so I thought I could my own version here 😅

What voice of me do you prefer? 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇮🇹🇨🇵

And they're good for learning colors, opposites, animals, foods, etc. plus conjugation and grammar.

And the little stories are so charming.

Nairobi, Kenya.

Interesting conversations during #ComesaSummit2025 days with veteran EU diplomat Lana Zutelija and Christiane Haziyo; both of the European Union Delegation in Zambia.

Circa 20 languages spoken between these prim and proper polyglots with Ms Zutelija accounting for over 10.

Nothing like polyglots who are communicating effectively (if imperfectly) in a second or third language being mocked by monoglots who can barely fumblefuck their way through their first and only language.

I love that Dr. Leyre Alejaldre Biel's students at Columbia University also produced a podcast for their Spanish class.

Content-based teaching and project-based learning is where it's at.

Their podcast is called "Afrolatinas en Estados Unidos"

American kids should graduate high school conversational in Spanish and *least* one other language just for the sake of understanding and relating to that many more people. If we were a country that cared about the future Americans would have a reputation as polyglots not monolingual rubes.

I looked at what actors and opera singers do to perform texts in languages they might not necessarily speak. (The opera singers all say learn the languages.)

I imagine improv has good ideas to help people take risks and be less self-conscious.

I love talking to my friends from across the world. They tend to say and explain things better about their own countries than anything I've heard from a native english speaking american.

I cherish these few moments where I can communicate with polyglots. It's really nice.

Faux Polyglots: Although many hope that multilingual AI will further democratize knowledge, @jhucompsci.bsky.social researchers find LLMs actually reinforce language-specific information cocoons, further marginalizing viewpoints from lower-resource languages. engineering.jhu.edu/news/democra...

As a developer I do miss using capable and performant runtimes so I can focus on correctness instead. There are so many excuses made by monoglot/monoruntime developers that promote busy, error-prone work that doesn't aid the software product at all.

That is all I am going to say. I miss polyglots.

#linguistics
For the polyglots: The performance of text to speech is really poor in German when the default language is accidentally set to English. Applies to other languages too, with the notable exception of French.

Just why?
