You can stay silent until you “feel ready”…
Or say one imperfect word—and already be winning.
🏆 Every word you speak is a victory.

🌊 Big news, we have our first Whale Level learner a few weeks ago!
After thousands of lessons and countless drops, the first Flowy has grown into a whale.
And behind the scenes, our team has been crafting something to celebrate this milestone.
Stay tuned, something special is surfacing soon. 🐋
Illustration of a cartoon whale wearing a crown, partially submerged in water, with text above reading "We have our first whale!" set against a light blue background. A hand-drawn illustration of a blue whale surrounded by smaller fish and underwater details in a sketchbook. The whale is labeled with colors; 'Rad Crown!' in velvet blue, and 'Fluffy White' for its underbelly. A blue pen rests beside the notebook. Illustration of three different interpretations of a character named "Pudge" depicted as a whimsical whale wearing a crown. Two drawings are in color showing Pudge with various textures labeled "fluffy white" and "fluffy water," along with a badge marking "Rad Crown!" The third sketch is a simple black and white outline.

There’s one ‘turkey’ imposter among us! 👀

Can you spot which one isn’t actually the bird? 🤔

#italki #langsky
Festive Thanksgiving graphic showing turkey drumsticks decorated with national flags and the words for ‘turkey’ in different languages: English — Turkey, French — la dinde, Chinese — 火鸡, Greek — galopoúla, Indonesian — kalkun, German — Truthahn, Spanish — tacchino (incorrectly paired with the Spanish flag instead of Italian). Text reads: ‘There’s one “turkey” imposter among us!’ surrounded by fall leaves and a cartoon turkey holding a pumpkin.

🌊 Meet Flowy, your learning fish.
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?

Today was so fun! I met my italki sensei in person after more than a year of zoom classes and went for a hike with her and her husband in Arima Onsen. Then I went back to Tokyo and ate some amazing cold crab ramen and also found two kanji games I was looking for at the Akiba Book Off.

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.
