Mmerikani’s Substack (Swahili, with English Translations!) consists of sourced, edifying quotes in a dual-language format (English and Swahili). I am a Quaker, runner, and was formally trained in Swahili.
Mmerikani finds some fascinating quotes that really make you think. Also a great place to practice your Swahili (or pick up a few new words)!
Welcome to the conversations. I talk about lots of things. Life, books, nature, knitting, or what's happening in the garden, sometimes memoir from 47 years of nursing. Wide-ranging ruminations. I usually post at the weekend, sometimes on Wednesday too.
June is a delightful retired nurse in the UK. She writes about her work experiences and about her life now. She also knits!
Lover of words and blurry photography - writing from a hill in SW France - self sufficient chaos, memoir, field conversations and obscurities
For native-level readers of English, this is an exquisite Substack. The language and descriptions are luscious, and the photography is calming. I highly recommend Susie's posts.
Very short essays about the beauty of words that don’t quite translate from one language to another.
Untranslatable is a GREAT place to learn new words from a variety of languages. The essays clearly show how you would use the words in certain situations. I always learn something new when I read these essays! 👍🏽
