SUMMARY:Polish your Polish czyli wypoleruj swój polski
DESCRIPTION:Jak można wypolerować swój polski? To proste! Ćwicząc fone
 tykę. Dwa lata temu podczas Polyglot Gathering Online pokazywałam jak ć
 wiczyć wymowę poszczególnych fonemów języka polskiego i jak przygotow
 ać się do nauki fonetyki. Jednak to\, że umiesz wymówić pojedyncze fo
 nemy\, nie znaczy\, że umiesz poprawnie wymawiać polskie słowa. Udźwi
 ęcznienia\, ubezdźwięcznienia\, uproszczenia… Co to w ogóle znaczy? 
 Nie przejmuj się\, tylko nazwy są trudne\, same procesy już nie.\nPodcz
 as tegorocznego warsztatu opowiem Ci o tym\, jak wymawiać różne połąc
 zenia liter w wyrazach oraz gdzie stawiać akcent (nie\, akcent na przedos
 tatniej sylabie nie zawsze jest poprawny\, niestety). A ponieważ w końcu
  możemy spotkać się osobiście\, przygotuj się na dużą dawkę ćwicz
 eń\, w końcu to warsztaty\, a nie wykład! Oprócz tego pokażę Ci kilk
 a narzędzi\, które pozwolą ćwiczyć wymowę (nie tylko polską) wtedy\
 , gdy pod ręką nie masz znajomego native’a\, który może wytknąć Ci
  błąd.

SUMMARY:How we built a dictionary with just a corpus and a few random speak
 ers
DESCRIPTION:In 2018–2020\, I participated in the creation of bilingual di
 ctionaries for three Asian languages: Tagalog\, Urdu and Lao. I could not 
 speak any of them before and neither can I know. All dictionaries were fir
 st machine-generated by advanced corpus-linguistic algorithms from scratch
 \, without reusing any existing content and without any explicit human inp
 ut. In the second phase\, we recruited a small group of ordinary native sp
 eakers – no formal training in linguistics was required – and had them
  post-edit the data through a set of independent focused tasks under our s
 upervision. This new approach in lexicography has been nicknamed "Million-
 click dictionary". The resulting dictionaries\, with translations into Eng
 lish and Korean\, are now partially accessible to the public and a new one
 \, for Ukrainian\, is currently under development\, building on the succes
 sful experience.

SUMMARY:Aramaic – the mysterious language of the Jewish tradition
DESCRIPTION:For more than 1500 years\, the Aramaic language has continued t
 o fascinate millions of Jews worldwide. While Aramaic is mainly famous for
  the language of the ‘Talmud’ (a central text of Rabbinic Judaism)\, i
 t is also the cryptic language of the ‘Kabbalah’ (Jewish Mystics). Ara
 maic is related to the Semitic ancient language and has a diversity of dia
 lects\; some have been extinct hundreds of years ago.\nIn this lecture\, I
  will expose the beauty and the variety of this ancient language and absor
 b many aspects of its rich vocabulary. The Aramaic vocabulary was affected
  by other languages\, such as Ancient Greek\, Latin and Old Persian\, and 
 up until today\, it still affects modern languages\, like Hebrew. To bette
 r comprehend the Aramaic glossary context\, we will also revive it\, in it
 s original text of some of the most unique Talmudic and Kabbalistic chapte
 rs.

SUMMARY:Harnessing Chinese morphemes in learning other Sinitic languages\, 
 Japanese\, Korean\, Vietnamese and sometimes even Tibetan vocabulary
DESCRIPTION:This short talk is on the usage of Chinese morphemes in learnin
 g other East Asian languages. Classical Chinese has been enjoying an inter
 national status in East Asia as Latin in Europe for centuries. In the late
  19th century\, when the Japanese scholars started to embrace Western know
 ledge and values\, many Western concepts (e.g.\, democracy\, republic\, ph
 ysics) have been translated into Japanese using Chinese characters. Those 
 new words are called Wasei-Kango\, meaning that although they are composed
  of Chinese morphemes\, they were invented in Japan\, not in China. The ne
 w vocabulary has been soon adopted by Korea\, China and Vietnam\, where sc
 holars from these countries at that time all understood Chinese characters
 . Hence\, knowing the logic of Wasei-Kango (和製漢語) is not only bene
 ficial in learning Chinese languages and Japanese\, but also helpful in le
 arning Korean and Vietnamese. On the other hand\, the relationship between
  Tibetan and Chinese is more obscure. Both languages are members from the 
 Sino-Tibetan languages. Some modern Tibetan words echo the words in Old Ch
 inese. In this talk\, I will systematically introduce how to harness your 
 knowledge in Chinese characters to learn other East Asian languages.

SUMMARY:Tried and tested techniques to get the best translations
DESCRIPTION:Translation is often challenging. Tagalog has seven different w
 ords for rice\, in Greek χέρι means hand as well as arm and Hindi verb
 s vary according to age and gender\; no two languages work in quite the sa
 me way! Despite this\, a good translation will accurately reflect the mean
 ing of the original text as well as sound as though it was written in the 
 target language. This may sound too idealistic\, however there are some tr
 ied and tested translation tips and tricks which will help you effectively
  communicate what you need your audience to know. With a special focus on 
 minority and indigenous languages we’ll consider free versus literal tra
 nslation\, the importance of style guides and ideas on how to handle diale
 ctal variations and seemingly ‘untranslatable’ cultural expressions\, 
 all through worked examples. As a language learner sooner or later you wil
 l be faced with translation challenges of your own so start getting ready 
 now – we look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Xiao’erjing – Writing Chinese with Perso-Arabic Letters
DESCRIPTION:The Sinophone Muslims\, officially designated as 'Hui' in China
  and 'Dungan' in the former Soviet Union\, have mixed ethnic as well as li
 nguistic heritage. Little known to the outside world is that\, historicall
 y educated in their own communities with few attaining full literacy in Ch
 inese writing\, the Hui/Dungans employed a system of writing Chinese in th
 e Perso-Arabic script with adjustments to suit Chinese phonology. This sys
 tem is called ‘Xiao'erjing’\, or 'children's script'\, originally desi
 gned to help children studying in the madrasas learn the Arabic script and
  the Qur'ān. Even less known is that this writing system\, in addition to
  representing Chinese phonemes with Arabic letters\, also uses Perso-Arabi
 c heterograms to represent meaning\, similar to the way Sumerograms were u
 sed in Akkadian\, Aramaeograms in Middle Persian\, and Chinese characters 
 (kanji) in Japanese. This talk will show those interested in writing syste
 ms and hybrid linguistic cultures some fascinating examples of how it is t
 o write Chinese with Perso-Arabic letters. Audience’s knowledge of Chine
 se or/and Persian/Arabic will be of assistance during the talk.

SUMMARY:Interslavic – a common language for all Slavs and a gateway to le
 arning Slavic languages? Medžuslovjansky – spolny jezyk dlja vsih Slovj
 anov i vrata k učenju slovjanskyh jezykov?
DESCRIPTION:Interslavic is a recently developed constructed language with t
 he goal that everybody who can understand any Slavic real language can als
 o understand this artificial language without ever having learnt it! It is
  a simplified and “unified” Slavic language (“in the middle of all e
 xisting Slavic languages”)\, which is super easy to learn for native spe
 akers of any Slavic language and which could also be an easy to learn (fir
 st) Slavic language for non-Slavs with the advantage that they can immedia
 tely communicate with all Slavs.\nThis is not a language course in Intersl
 avic\, rather I want to present to you the history\, the concept and the s
 tructure of this language and we will discuss if or how Interslavic can ac
 tually live up to its goals and potentials. Basic knowledge of any Slavic 
 language is helpful but not required.

 їнська мова це справжня мова. Однако ще б
 агато людей думають\, що це лише діалект 
 російської\, та що вона як мова існує тіл
 ьки декілька років. Це звісно брехня\, як

 ьки російська та українська мови це слов
 ’янськи мови\, вони дуже схожі між собою\
 , але чи російська є найбільш подібною мо

SUMMARY:Listen Up! How to train your listening comprehension skills with th
 e right techniques 
DESCRIPTION:Listening— just like speaking\, reading and writing— is not
  a skill we are born with. Your ability to understand someone speaking to 
 you in your native language is the result of years of listening and your e
 ars and brain being trained to recognize the sounds and attach meaning to 
 the words.\nFor many leaners\, even after years of studying a foreign lang
 uage\, understanding fast speech and colloquial\, everyday language is sti
 ll more difficult than reading or writing. In this workshop\, we’ll disc
 uss some of the obvious and not-so-obvious reasons why listening comprehen
 sion skills are often underrated and thus underdeveloped and explore speci
 fic techniques to improve those skills using audio samples in several lang
 uages. All participants are encouraged to listen up!

SUMMARY:The beautiful patterns behind “irregular” verbs in German\, Eng
 lish\, Low Saxon & co.
DESCRIPTION:In English\, we say “sing-sang-sung”\, and in German\, “s
 ingen-sang-gesungen”\, just like (EN) “stink-stank-stunk”\, and (DE)
  “stinken-stank-gestunken”. But we have (EN) “ride-rode-ridden” an
 d (DE) “reiten-ritt-geritten”. Why does the simple past sound so diffe
 rent in English? Is there a rule behind (EN) “to fall &amp\; to fell”\
 , “to rise &amp\; to raise”\, and “to sit &amp\; to set”? Or (DE) 
 “biegen &amp\; beugen”\, and “sinken &amp\; senken”? Why do Englis
 h\, German and Dutch say “it will / es will / het wil” and not “it w
 ills / es willt / het wilt”? Why is it the same for “shall” and “c
 an” and “may”?\nIn this talk\, we’ll untangle the messy lines that
  arrange these verbs into beautiful patterns\, with a focus on the West Ge
 rmanic branch\, and dip our toes in the so-called “modal” verbs\, caus
 atives\, and more!

SUMMARY:Ludzie kodują język\, czy język koduje ludzi?
DESCRIPTION:Na świecie mamy tak wiele różnych języków\, każdy jest in
 ny\, każdy jest na swój sposób interesujący. Każdy z nich zmienia si
 ę cały czas\, ponieważ jeśli język się nie zmienia\, nie dostosowuje
  się do zmieniającego się świata\, to umiera. To my\, ludzie\, zmienia
 my język\, kodujemy go na nowo. Co chwile wymyślamy nowe słowa\, nowe k
 onstrukcje gramatyczne. Coś\, co niedawno było normą\, teraz jest błę
 dem i odwrotnie błędne do niedawna konstrukcje\, słowa stają się popr
 awne. Wydaje się zatem\, że odpowiedź jest jasna. To my kodujemy język
 . Ale czy na pewno?\nSkąd znamy język\, skąd wiemy\, jak wyrazić myśl
 i? Dlaczego „myślimy w jakimś języku”? Czy dzieci\, które nie umie
 ją jeszcze mówić też myślą w jakimś języku\, czy może nie myślą
  wcale? Czy nasz język ojczysty ma wpływ na to\, jak widzimy i rozumiemy
  świat? My\, poligloci\, mówimy wieloma językami\, a poglądy nam się 
 nie zmieniają. Jednak\, czy sposób myślenia to tylko poglądy polityczn
 e i społeczne? Może to coś głębszego? Jaki wpływ na państwo ma wiel
 ojęzyczność lub jednojęzyczność społeczeństwa\, i czy w ogóle jak
 iś ma? Na te wszystkie pytania postaram się odpowiedzieć podczas swojeg
 o wykładu.

SUMMARY:Mutual (non)comprehension between Romance languages
DESCRIPTION:This talk is for everyone who is interested in broadly understo
 od linguistics\, in particular interlinguistics and confrontative linguist
 ics. We will focus on the morphology of the largest Romance languages. and
  discuss the forms characteristic of a given language and compare them to 
 forms of other languages keeping in mind their evolution from Latin.\nRoma
 nce languages have many common features\, which means that the degree of m
 utual understanding between their native speakers is relatively high. Neve
 rtheless\, despite the common ancestor\, Latin\, their separate developmen
 t has resulted in grammatical solutions peculiar to each of these language
 s. Often the same mechanisms ceased to be used in one language at a certai
 n time and became the most frequently used solution in others. The main ai
 m of the workshop is to highlight the similarities and differences between
  the forms of the discussed languages to organize their systematic similar
 ity or lack thereof.

SUMMARY:Baltic languages – (unknown) treasures of the Indo-European langu

DESCRIPTION:Vai tu runā latviski? O lietuviškai?\nIf you have not answere
 d these questions in the affirmative\, it is time to change it! The Baltic
  languages belong to the Balto-Slavic branch of the Indo-European language
  family and are nowadays spoken by around 5 million speakers. The knowledg
 e of Baltic languages is often considered being of particular importance t
 o linguists because they retain a wide range of archaic features. And ther
 e are many other benefits from learning Lithuanian and Latvian!\nIn this t
 alk\, I will introduce you to numerous reasons why learning Lithuanian and

DESCRIPTION:A little bit of history and then we’ll dive into the unique\,
  well-rounded Mkhedruli alphabet\, used exclusively for the Georgian langu
 age. You’ll go over all the symbols (there are 33!) practising both your
  Georgian handwriting and pronunciation with the help of transliteration. 
 By the end of the session you’ll be writing your name in Georgian\, so t
 hat you can take a small piece of this language home with you. ნახ

SUMMARY:Big UPS! (Universal Phonetic Stylings)
DESCRIPTION:Let's zoom into the accent side of language and listen closer t
 o the pronunciation. In this fun\, foreign-phrase-filled talk\, you'll exp
 lore unique characteristics of sounds and speech patterns across dozens of
  languages. What should you be looking for when looking to modify your acc
 ent?\nWe'll talk about how acquiring sounds is cognitively different from 
 memorizing words\, phrases\, and grammatical rules\, and we'll especially 
 get into how the pieces of any spoken utterance can be broken down and cat
 egorized based on the phonological system of any given language.\nBut what
  if you're learning multiple languages at once? What phonetic similarities
  do we see across languages with otherwise nothing in common? Come listen 
 to the many examples and discover new concepts that you can apply to almos
 t every language\, even your first!\nHow does that sound?

SUMMARY:Learn to write quickly in Teeline shorthand
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to learn how to take notes in English in a quicker 
 and more efficient way? Or maybe you just want to learn a new writing syst
 em which only few people can read? If your answer is “yes”\, then how 
 about taking up some Teeline shorthand?\nTeeline is a shorthand system dev
 eloped in 1968 by James Hill\, a teacher of Pitman Shorthand. It is now en
 dorsed by the National Council for the Training of Journalists\, which cer
 tifies the training of journalists in the United Kingdom. Nowadays\, Teeli
 ne is the most popular shorthand writing system used in the UK. It's relat
 ively easy to learn and you can achieve writing speeds of 120 words per mi
 nute (wpm) after just a few months of regular training (an average person'
 s handwriting speed is about 15 wpm abd the average typing speed is around
  40 words per minute).\nDuring the workshop you will learn the Teeline alp
 habet\, some common word endings and word groupings. After the workshop I 
 will show you how to develop your Teeline skills even further.

DESCRIPTION:Have you once rejected the idea of learning a specific language
  because it has a different writing system? I will show you that learning 
 the writing system can actually be one of the most fun parts of learning a
  language. There are many games you can play that will surreptitiously tea
 ch you a new writing system. And being able to decipher a foreign alphabet
  is a useful skill no matter whether you plan to learn the language as wel
 l: for example you’ll be able to decipher street names\, bus stops\, tra
 in directions\, menus\, signs and so on.

SUMMARY:Learn Three Languages At Once: Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean thro

DESCRIPTION:The Chinese writing system can be enormously daunting. There ar
 e thousands of characters in common use\, and learning just one requires r
 emembering a complex combination of sound\, meaning\, and form. Yet\, thes
 e characters play an important not just in Mandarin\, but also in Japanese
 \, Korean\, Vietnamese\, and Cantonese. While this means that you cannot a
 void the difficult work of learning the characters if you want a deep unde
 rstanding of any of these languages\, it also presents a great opportunity
 : in learning the frequently-used characters shared among the various lang
 uages\, you can learn multiple languages at once! I have found just such a
  set of 808 characters (as well as 658 words) well-suited for such study\,
  and I will share tips on how to learn them even more efficiently using ch
 aracter etymology and Middle Chinese reconstruction.

SUMMARY:El lenguaje de la comunicación no violenta. 
DESCRIPTION:¿Cómo se expresa la violencia en la forma en que nos comunica
 mos? ¿Qué tipo de actitudes y creencias provocan que la comunicación se
  torne violenta? ¿Por qué persistimos en algunas formas de comunicación
  que no nos ayudan? ¿Podemos de verdad ser compasivos con otros si no lo 
 somos antes con nosotros mismos? A principios de la década de 1960 el psi
 cólogo estadounidense Marshal Rosenberg intentó responder a estos interr
 ogantes desarrollando un proceso de comunicación que se basa en la idea d
 e que todos los seres humanos tienen la capacidad de ser compasivos y que 
 los problemas muchas veces surgen porque no sabemos cómo recurrir a esta 
 habilidad humana fundamental. Este método de comunicación ha sido usado 
 en la resolución de conflictos internacionales\, así como en una amplia 
 esfera de la educación para la paz. Veremos esta interesante propuesta de
  comunicación y cómo podemos contribuir a reducir la violencia en el mun
 do cambiando la forma en la que nos expresamos.

SUMMARY:Improv (improvisation theater) in Italian and other languages
DESCRIPTION:Improvisation\, or improv\, is a form of live theatre in which 
 the plot\, characters and dialogue of a game\, scene or story are made up 
 in the moment. Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience\
 , or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started. In this work
 shop you will get to act\, be creative and use your languages: doesn't it 
 sound amazing?\nThere will be lots of improv games to help you familiarize
  with this type of theater\, a little bit of theory and lots of fun.\nThe 
 workshop will be in Italian and other languages will be used during the ga
 mes.\nAn good level of Italian is required (upper intermediate and above) 
 + any level of other languages

SUMMARY:Consistency: The Key to Language Mastery
DESCRIPTION:Would you rather be more talented or more consistent?\nWhen you
 're trying to master a new language —or any other worthy long-term goal
 —\, you're bound to run into seemingly insurmountable obstacles (like re
 membering the gender of every object that has ever existed). Rather than r
 elying on talent alone\, the way to consistently overcome these challenges
  is to put in the work day after day (and figure out how to enjoy it).\nIn
  this talk\, we'll look at proven practical tips to become more consistent
  and methodically climb your way to fluency: from improving the environmen
 t around you to making strategic decisions that are more aligned with your
  language goals\nSmall habits compound and the best day to get started is 
 always today.
