@lexiconista@mastodon.ie very nice, cool!
I have an addition to the emojis. The fingers crossed emoji 🤞 is culture specific. In German you'd say "I push thumbs for you" ("ich drücke dir die Daumen") to wish someone luck.

@lexiconista@mastodon.ie Two other remarks: • You could add an example like "Tengo galletas, ¿quieres una?" to further illustrate the oddities of Spanish punctuation. (I got cookies, want one) • On sorting order: in German, ä (and ö/ü) isn't ordered after a, but as if it was ae. This is because if you don't have the Umlaut dots available, you'd replace them by an e. (Goethe is sort-of the same as Göthe.) So, München (Munich) appears in the dictionary after Mud but before Muf, as if it was written Muenchen.
