When your hand has worse judgment than your brain after three beers. Als je hand slechtere keuzes maakt dan jij na drie biertjes. Today's word: 手を出す! #TeWoDasu #HandsOff #HandenThuis #KanjiChaos #GeenSpijt #LanguageFails #japan #japans #japanese #japansleren #learnjapanese

That moment when you misspell words in a language you should know because you should’ve taken a foreign language elective. Like saying “Ai, dios mijo” instead of “Ay, dios mío.” So close, yet so far. #LanguageFails #BilingualBlunders #CloseEnough

Today’s word is fredagkväll—which means ‘Friday evening,’ or as I like to call it, ‘the moment we collectively exhale and pretend our problems don’t exist until Sunday night.’

The Swedish word of the day series nailed it with a hilarious video about “varsågod.” A confused birthday flower exchange turns into chaotic miscommunication as everyone shouts “varsågod” in ridiculous ways.
