Using Mastodon and , I am picking up a few phrases of Dutch and German. I'm sure my pronunciation is wrong.

I am inadvertently learning to read two new languages.

@paul Hit the arrow on the right side, and it will give you the proper pronunciation. I am loving how much more German, Spanish, French, etc. I’m speaking just by reading posts in peoples native languages.🥰 after I read it aloud I listen to the way it should be pronounced to see how off I was. It’s fun😊

@Pineywoozle Thanks for the reply. I use DeepL on my instance and only get a text link to translate. No reading option.

Sometimes I do right click untranslated text and let my browser read it to me.

Partial toot post, content unimportant, notating the post has been translated from Nederlands uning DeepL.com, under the text, above the timestamp.
