“I have a longing for life, and I go on living in spite of logic. Though I may not believe in the order of the universe, yet I love the sticky leaves as they open in spring. I love the blue sky, I love some people, whom one loves you know sometimes without knowing why. I love some great deeds done by men, though I’ve long ceased perhaps to have faith in them, yet from old habit one’s heart prizes them.”

— The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Native & Fluent Speakers Directory

[thelanguagecommunity]

  This post will act as a directory for native/fluent speakers, it will be updated frequently. I’ll be putting the list under a read more for easier editing. Fluent, but not necessarily native, speakers will be marked with little stars [ ** ]

If you would like to be added to this post, send me a message (please include your language and any specific dialects you speak)! You just have to be willing to talk about your language. I made a little faq if there are any other questions.

Simply perfection.

[the-awkward-turt]

It is absolutely absurd to act as though the cultural views of a society don’t impact the science it produces. Science and scientists don’t exist in a pure, empirical bubble.
