Gotta go digging through the rummage.
to be very honest I donât see how someone can be into a language without caring about culture and politics. it seems like some people just like to romanticize it and seem as intellectuals. languages are more than your love novels, cute people and dramas.

No one is responsible for the amount of his talents, but surely for the way he has shaped and used them.

it makes me so disgusted how people in america are so quick to make fun of someones foreign accent without realizing that multilingualism is an unremarkable necessity of everyday life for the majority of the worldâs population and that being monolingual and ignorant is a lot more embarrassing than any accent ever will be
And letâs also not forget that reactions to accents also heavily depend on what languages you are speaking, where yo uare from and what you look like. People with an Arab dialect will probably have a harder time in the US than a white person with a French accent
Also not the US but this left quite an impact on me: I have had a peruvian guy tell me that he was jealous âof all the languages you Europeans learnâ and that he also wanted to be multilingual but when I asked him if he also spoke Quechua next to Spanish, he said âyes but that doesnât countâ because people around him treated it like a âlesserâ language all the time
You know youâre german, when you can read this without thinking:
You know youâre German when you use a comma like that đ
Iâm caught between âwhen the f will I use this??â and âaccurateâ
listen y'all. iâm lazy. like âeats yogurt with a fork because i didnât feel like washing a spoonâ lazy. so, although no one asked, i made this post about how i lazily study languages! obviously this might not work for everyone, so experiment and find what works best for you (also iâm not a photographer so my pics kinda suck, sorry).
Keep reading
do you ever do the thing where you spend a long time speaking in (or reading and writing in, or thinking in) another language and then you go back to your first language and it just looks wrong
fun bilingual things
- you know the word in second language but not first - your notes sometimes are in both languages at once. some words are quicker to write than their equivalents - phone autocorrects to wrong language - the words that are the same but slightly different in your two languages are always spelled the wrong way. no matter what. - certain memories only available in one language - music genres?? u like maybe alternative and pop music in your first language but like rap and musical theatre in your second - u know what verb tenses are called in your second language but not in your first - saying bullshit like âclose the lights pleaseâ because itâs idiomatically correct but not in english
Me when the kids I'm babysitting talk Polish: oh my god this is such a nice language I wanna learn it
Me when I see some Chinese instructions on a random thing: oh my god this is such a nice language I wanna learn it
Me when I'm watching Skam: oh my god Norwegian is such a nice language I wanna learn it
Me when I'm reading a German text on my German exam: oh my god this is such a nice language I wanna learn it
Hello people
I know I havenât been active on this blog in forever but Iâve come back with a request:
I made this survey to find out about why people decide to learn foreign languages. Itâs for a paper I need to write so if some of you could fill it out thatâd be great, reblogs are much appreciated!
i am truly happy i am able to talk to myself in several languages
Trying to learn Polish like
dude i hope you know that âje suis le painâ translates into âi am the breadâ
When you focus so much on one language and you can feel the other ones slowly fading awayâŠ.
