Abandoned Rail Bridge, Japan.

i’m just really curious

is there anybody else who takes the rail tracks out of its mechanical context and started re-imagining it into some mythical sort of road

or is it just me

I like doing the same

THE POLYGLOT CLUB

Can I just say *screaming*.

Okay wait lemme try that again.

The Polyglot Club is a HUUUUUGE website dedicated to all things polyglot. There are gazillions of people on this website, and it even lets you look for fellow language learners in your area! When you sign up, you input what language(s) you speak well enough to teach, and which ones you’re trying to learn, and then speakers of the languages you’re learning can find you and you can practice with them! You can also write things in the language you’re learning, and have people who speak the language correct what you’ve written, and you can correct other people’s writings, too.

The thing I have pictured above is a newer feature (I guess, I only found the website a day or two ago so everything is new to me!) called the Virtual Study Room. It’s basically a giant chatroom where you can mingle among people from all over the world and find people to practice with, or simply learn new things about the languages they speak. There’s a big room that everyone can join, and then “tables” where you and a smaller group of people can join and discuss things more privately. The tables also have a space where you can draw and write, and I believe there’s an option to actually speak using your computer’s microphone.

The best part I think is you never really know who you’re going to run into or what you’re going to learn. I signed up looking for people to practice Italian with, and wound up having a discussion with a couple Russian people in the Study Room about Russian smiley faces (and in exchange they had me teach them English curse words, lmao). It was really fun, though! I highly recommend this site.
