as a natively monolingual english speaker, i often have trouble thinking of non-english languages i know as separate from each other (which leads to e.g. inserting a word from one language into a sentence in another language) i wonder, does this happen with natively bi/polylingual people? #langsky

gotdam brazilians speaking and writing my language better than i do 😡🤬 literate polylingual metropolitan ass MFers 😭

I’m teaching my cat German: JAAAA. So güt! (he is not impressed as cats are naturally polylingual - cat, human, ghost)

My polylingual tutor was trying to explain die Fresse (German) to me and couldn't find the English word so we used linguee. The definition was "cakehole," which caused a good laugh. I regret to inform you that "cakehole" is not what I thought it was. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c....

On June 26, Alexander Maxwell and I will host a workshop exploring the possibility of polylingual nationalism. If you're in the area, come listen to Dominique K Reill, Pieter M Judson, and all the panelists.

I'm essentially monolingual, anglophone, though I can read French fairly well and after shaking off rust can function okay, plus I have enough fragmentary Italian for basic tourism, I can read simple German, and have a little of several others. But know so many bilingual or polylingual people! 1/

"genius" characters who speak 7 languages (w no justification, ie, polylingual parents/military brat) "genius" characters who have more than 2 PhDs (why?? WHY. just PUBLISH. why are you GETTING MORE PHDS. There's no point!! Just do research and publish NO ONE DOES THIS)

Google algoritması tarafından şakalandım. Polylingual olanlara bakıyordum. Karşıma çıkana bak 🤣😆😁😄😂

Most of us would have to skip, or radically simply, the language development -- few of us are polylingual philologists -- but the process should be replicable.
