Can Modern Icelandic speakers read Viking sagas from the 1200s?
Normal person who can't sleep: "Guess I'll take some melatonin."
Me, when I can't sleep: "Guess I'll work on teaching myself Arabic by taking university level notes on as many Arabic ASMR videos as I can find."
Thanks to all ASMRtists!!! 💖

#Language so #French must get it into the #educational system in #Canada where it can be taught 50% of the time but the other 50% is #English. Thus neither language would be ignored by any group within Canada. Nor would the people of Canada be incapable of speaking both official language of Canada.
Plus what voters don’t get is if u want #language to grow then it can’t be muzzled by politicians. Language must be encouraged to grow instead. Growth only happens through #education. & by supporting the arts strongly.
