I’ve also wondered about this, in my language Finnish we only write things up, never down. Interesting

It’s interesting and quite funny to discover that in Sweden adults do this too. Here in Finland it’s just a way to limit kids’ candy consumption in some families

Eipä kestä 😊 voit kysyä jos et ymmärrä jotain

Tässä on musta aika hyvä sivu, ja siinä on myös selityksiä suomeksi: www.tarinatassu.com/sananlaskuja

Tässä yksi tosi tavallinen: tappaa kaksi kärpästä yhdellä iskulla. Sama kuin englanniksi sanotaan ”tappaa kaksi lintua yhdellä kivellä” 😄

Joo, tiedän monia suomalaisia sananlaskuja joita käytetään usein, mutta tämä on mielestäni vain käännös englannista

En ole koskaan kuullut tuota suomeksi, vain englanniksi

Kiva! Japanin ja kiinan kirjoittamisessa on tosi tärkeää, että on hyvä kynä

Now I have to come up with strategies to keep the two languages apart 😅

I even felt like my rusty beginner level Italian from 25 years ago helped me with Spanish a bit. Must be pretty fast when one is your mother tongue, right. My algorithm is now feeding me videos of Italian for Spanish speakers and it’s mainly focused on the differences

Written Portuguese might be easier for me too. Also French, definitely! So much easier when written

This is just me being silly, of course, I’ve intentionally been picking languages from different families, because it’s more interesting that way

- I could do that fast if I pick the languages well! I mean Lithuanian, Swedish and Finnish help with Latvian, Norwegian and Estonian, sure, but I also mean Latgalian and Faroese and Karelian... I counted and I can already understand about 40 languages to some degree even though I only speak a few 😂

That’s really interesting, I’ve heard people doing this between Spanish and Portuguese, I guess Italian is very close to Spanish after all. Now listening to Italian, I’m paying attention to words that I wouldn’t understand through Spanish alone, but somehow have retained, but they aren’t so many

Now I’m wondering as to how much I understand thanks to Spanish, and if I actually forgot my high school Italian or not. Do Spanish speakers who have no experience of learning Italian normally understand the language without issues? Can you follow a movie? Read a book? I think I can. I’m confused 😂

Basically it had dropped from A1-2 to A0. After listening to beginner conversation content on youtube today I decided it’s too easy, moved on to harder content, and I can understand pretty much everything. But I’ve been learning Spanish the past few years, and it’s better than my Italian ever was
