If you want to learn German from scratch or build on your existing skills, we have some exciting news for you. In the next two weeks, we’re going to start several new online German courses for students at beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. All our courses are small in size (with only 5 students), fast in terms of their pace, and taught by fully qualified native tutors. We also offer a lot more flexibility than other German language schools- and you didn’t expect Germans to be flexible, did you? 😅. Find out more here

Trying to learn a bit of conversational Portuguese. The way you say "excuse me" in Portuguese is "com licença." You wouldn't believe how pretty it sounds when you say it right. It sounds completely musical. The phrasebook offers an array of more exciting phrases, too. I admire its plucky conviction that everyone who travels to Brazil should know how to get lucky.
Today's word is diffidence, from Latin diffidere (to mistrust), from dis- (not) + fidere (to trust). Ultimately from the Indo-European root bheidh- (to trust), which also gave us abide, abode, fiancé, affidavit, confide, confident, defiance, fidelity, defy, infidel, and diffident. Earliest documented use: 1425.

Tua milltir o bentref Llithfaen, wedi mynd i lawr lôn hynod o serth, cyrhaeddir Nant Gwrtheyrn, ar lan y môr.
Cynlluniwyd yr adeiladau yno tua 1878 ar gyfer gweithwyr y chwarel wenithfaen. Caeodd y chwarel yn 1914 a gadawodd y trigolyn olaf yn 1959.
Yn 1978 sefydlwyd canolfan iaith genedlaethol yma gan Carl Clowes, ac eraill, a dechreuwyd adfer y tai, ac yn ddiweddarach, adeilad y capel. ’Roedd y cwbl wedi dadfeilio'n arw erbyn hynny. Bu'n rhaid adeiladu ffordd newydd hefyd, gan fod yr hen lôn yn gul, yn dyllog ac yn beryglus o serth.
Tynnwyd y llun hwn adeg penwythnos a gynhaliwyd gan Gymdeithas Cymru-Llydaw yno yn 2008. Ym mis Tachwedd eleni, 2015, bydd y Gymdeithas yn cynnal penwythnos arall yno i ddysgwyr ac i siaradwyr y Llydaweg.

About a mile from the village of Llithfaen, after going down a particularly steep lane, one reaches Nant Gwrtheyrn, by the sea.
The buildings were designed c. 1878 for the granite quarry workers. The quarry closed in 1914 and the last inhabitant left in 1959.
In 1978, Carl Clowes, and others, created a national language centre in the deserted settlement, and the houses, and later the chapel building, began to be restored. It was all in great disrepair by then. A new road had to be built too, as the old one was narrow, full of pot holes and dangerously steep.
This photo was taken at the time of a weekend school held by Cymdeithas Cymru-Llydaw (The Wales-Brittany Society) in 2008. In November this year, 2015, the Society will hold another weekend there for those who speak Breton or who are learning Breton though the medium of Welsh.

This purple vegetable has names. In American English it goes as an eggplant, in South African and South Asian Englishes as a brinjal, in British English as an aubergine, and in the language of emojis, well, we’ll talk about that some other time.
In all the names for this bulbous vegetable, there is one that truly sticks out. Many words have traveled, but when it comes to linguistic miles covered, it would be hard to beat the aubergine. It rises above all.
The aubergine spread its seed far and wide before reaching the English language. It came to English from Sanskrit via Persian, Arabic, Catalan, and French. That’s some serious wanderlust.
This week we’ll look at some other words that have earned the well-traveled designation, words that have bounced around before planting their flag in the English language.
On a different note, this Saturday I drove all the way to Lumen Field, a football stadium here in Seattle, and it turned out no game was taking place. So disappointing! Not!
Some 8,000 people were getting vaccinated that day. I too had an appointment. Got my first Pfizer shot. Here's to science! And to adults being in charge of running the country again!
Today's word is zen, after Zen, a school of Mahayana Buddhism. From Japanese zen (meditation), from Chinese chan (meditation), from Pali jhanam (jhanam), from Sanskrit dhyana (meditation). Earliest documented use: 1727. Also see satori.

Today's word is contrafactum, from Latin contrafacere (to counterfeit), from contra- (against) + facere (to make or do). Earliest documented use: 1940.]
NOTES. A contrafactum aka contrafact is, literally speaking, counterfeiting. It's what you get when an existing tune is used with a new set of words. A well-known example is The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the US, which is sung to the music of "The Anacreontic Song" popularly known as a drinking song. Other examples of contrafacta are when secular music is used for religious purposes and vice versa.

“Working” has a different meaning for writers. If you are a writer, writing doesn’t necessarily mean typing away on a keyboard or scribbling on a piece of paper. Writing happens when you are walking or taking a shower or pulling weeds in the backyard. Simply staring out a window also works. Once your writing is done, you just need to dump it on a sheet of paper or into a computer.
This week we’ll see a few words related to writing. How would you describe what you do in a way that clears misconceptions or puts it in a different light? Email us at words@wordsmith.org.
Today's word is chosisme, from French, from chose (thing), from Latin causa (case, thing). The idea is associated with the writer and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet. Earliest documented use: 1960s.
Learn more at: wordsmith.org/words/chosisme.html
Today's word is panache, from French panache, from Italian pennacchio, from Latin pinnaculum (small wing), diminutive of pinna (wing, feather). Ultimately from the Indo-European root pet- (to rush or fly), which also gave us feather, petition, compete, perpetual, pterodactyl, and helicopter. Earliest documented use: 1584.
The word was popularized in English from the success of Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano proclaims:
“I’m going to take the simplest approach to life of all ... I’ve decided to excel in everything.”
He, of course, wears a panache, and it is literally his last word:
“Yet there is something still that will always be mine, and when today I go into God’s presence, there I will doff it and sweep the heavenly pavement with a gesture: something I’ll take unstained out of this world ... my panache.”
Learn more at: wordsmith.org/words/panache.html
Today's word is yichus, from Yiddish yichus/yikhus (pedigree), from Hebrew yihus (pedigree). Earliest documented use: 1890.

Today's word is refoulement. Originally the term refoulement referred to the overflowing of a river or of the water being dammed back due to the accumulation of ice. Today, non-refoulement is a principle of international law prohibiting turning away refugees and asylum seekers to a place they
are fleeing from.

What did he brew now? Another week of words! The English language has borrowed words from French, German, Persian, Sanskrit, and others. All of these, including English, are languages in the Indo-European family, one that includes about half the languages spoken today.
But English has borrowed words from everywhere, including the Semitic family of languages. This family includes Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, among others.
This week we’ll focus on words borrowed from Hebrew.
Today's word is mitzvah, from Hebrew mitzvah (commandment), from tziwwah (to command). Earliest documented use: 1723. Plural: mitzvahs or mitzvoth.
NOTES:
The most familiar usage of the word may be in the terms bar mitzvah (literally, son commandment) and bat mitzvah (girl commandment). Jewish children are considered adults at the age of 13 (in some versions of Judaism, the age for girls is 12). This comes with rights and responsibilities. The bar and bat mitzvahs are observed with rituals, ceremonies, and celebrations.
Learn more at: wordsmith.org/words/mitzvah.html
The musician Leo Kottke once said, “The Germans have done for the consonants what the Hawaiians have done for the vowels.”
What does that mean?
You may have seen German words such as krummholz or kitsch. Then there’s Hawaiian with words such aa and, well, just look at the spelling of the word Hawaii.
The Hawaiian language has five vowels in an alphabet of 13 letters. German? The same as English (more or less).
We could feature a whole week of words borrowed from German, we could feature a week of words borrowed from Hawaiian, but we don’t want to do anything imprudent. Better to keep the world’s consonant/vowel store in balance, so instead this week we’ll alternate German words with Hawaiian.
Today's word is Sehnsucht, from German Sehnsucht (longing or yearning), from sehnen (to long or yearn) + Sucht (craving or addiction). Earliest documented use: 1847.
