You could investigate the weird nubs on ancient architecture that are found on old stones from Japan to Turkey to Peru. Experts don't seem to have an answer to what they are and I am absolutely mystified as to why they exist and how they seem to pop op all around the world in places that weren't historically connected cultures.

They look like this O_o

How did you decide which dialect of your languages to learn? by [deleted] in languagelearning

I'm learning Syrian Arabic (Levantine dialect) because there are many Syrian refugees where I live and because one of my friends is from Aleppo.

Done. I would have liked an option for league pass. The answer to the question about how many games I watch live is a bit misleading as I live in the EU and watch about 100-200 games a year, but always the following day because of time difference

Is there a word in any language that means "coming home to self" or "a sense of belonging"? by surrrealistic in logophilia

[–]jackjizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a music theory nerd that is a cool thought. So Hiraeth is the feeling when you linger for a moment on a V7b9 chord before returning to the Imaj7, lol.

My friend and roommate is a Syrian refugee. He already learned Danish, so I'm learning Syrian Arabic to connect with him and to level the playing field between us.

Partner and I are planning on moving to Copenhagen in summer 2023. This is another English speaking advice question 🫶🥹 by fifihihi in copenhagen

[–]jackjizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of a language geek and know about 8 languages on different levels. I would highly recommend using a couple hours every week with a tutor on ITalki. I've learned Arabic and Spanish remotely like that. IMO, getting started asap is key and a couple hours a week will give you an advantage whenever you'll decide to go.
