I can’t hold a conversation in any foreign language (aside from Pig Latin) but reading these cool language facts makes me wish I’d retained more from my three years of high school Spanish than “My Mom is pretty” and “Can I go to the bathroom?”
When Liam (@Legoracers2) asked Twitter users to share facts about the languages they speak, he sparked a fascinating and educational thread. People the world over are sharing what makes their language unique and we can’t get enough of these interesting factoids that somehow make the world feel simultaneously bigger and smaller.
Keep going for some weird but true facts and learn a thing or two.
