Fernando Pessoa et al, vertido por Richard Zenith, na maravilhosa livraria da @harvard.edu. E em boa companhia!

At the bookshop of @harvard.edu, delighted to see @valmcdermid.bsky.social in good company! Oddly enough, they didn’t stock my book on the Portuguese subjunctive… 🤔 😜

The @museudalingua.bsky.social's exhibition 'Nhe'ẽ Porã: Memory and Transformation' was shortlisted for the ICOM Award for Sustainable Development Practice in Museums (icom.museum/en/icom-awar...).

Regrettably, Foreign Languages continue to be marked too harshly at GCSE. Nobody wants ‘easy’ grades, but fairness is a good starting point. @ucflangs.bsky.social

This is how important languages are for a nation. Languages define us, move us to act. #Scotland leading on language policies.
