introducing...

i've seen a lot of people doing introductions and that seems like a good place to start, so here we go.

not comfortable giving my actual name here, so you can call me awer

my pronouns are they/them, i am agender and aromantic :)

i'm in the middle of college admissions so this isn't going to be a very serious blog, i just want to have fun and hopefully learn more languages

i love languages!!! on that note:

i'm native in spanish, bilingual in french (c2) and english (c2) and want to learn many others, mainly italian and turkish, as well as greek, dutch and tamil, but i think for now im going to focus on the first three (because i have. zero time.) i'd also like to take up german again, but it's not really my main focus atm

i've never really self-studied a language before, so i don't know what works best for me yet, but there are so many ressources here and i am very excited

idk how much i should share about me, but i also love baking and cooking so i'm also really looking forward to learning about new cultures and new foods

i'd love to gain a study buddy or smth like that for a language? either to exchange between native languages or to learn the same language together, so feel free to msg me :))

i'm new to tumblr and just found out how to colour fonts??? i am going to be such a fucking menace i love colours

since everyone on this poll is voting based on colonization, lets see what the best language that the main romance-speaking countries have wanted to eradicate is.

Reblog to have something good happen at 1:42 tomorrow

[mildlyautisticsuperdetective]

I saw this before I left work last night and had a quiet hope, and today I checked my phone at about quarter to two, while I was still on my lunch break, and I’ve just got a job interview with the BBC next week

I’m not a big believer in anything much but I’m so happy holy shit. So like unrelated note but something real good happened to me at 1.42 today lol

We should turn Speak Your Language Day into Speak Your Language Week, in my opinion. Maybe Month. Que tal?

RB if you agree :)

I love “panzos” this is how languages grow.

Me encanta “panzos” eso es como idiomas nuevos desarrollan

[kutyozh]

hola buenas! he visto que me has reblogeado y quiero interactuar mas con la gente así que aquí estoy! desgraciadamente no hablo alemán pero me armo de google translate para leer tus respuestas :))

☾ , ✌ , ☯, ☪ , ❀ que te parecen estas para el ask game?

que pases un buen uyld día!

@themothcriminal

holis!!!! gracias por enviarme este ask jejeje a ver empecemos:

☾ : favourite word from your language Die schwierigste Frage vorneweg, hm? Gott. Ich musste meinen eigenen Blog durchsuchen, um fündig zu werden. Hier sind ein paar: Heimweh (n.) = longing for home [tw Shoah für den Link] Seelenklempner:in (n.) = therapist (humorous; lit.: soul plumber) hobbylos (adj.) = 'hobbyless'; eine Beleidigung, die in den 2010er Jahren aufkam

✌ : favourite proverb/saying from your language Ich habe lange überlegt, aber ich muss einfach dieses hier nehmen, weil ich glaube, dass es einfach so ur-deutsch ist: "Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei." Absolut zum Augenverdrehen, aber ich liebe Wortspiele... gerne mal in den Google Übersetzer eingeben :^)

☯ : what do you love about your language? Ich mag, dass es so viele Dialekte gibt. Und Deutsch kann unter Umständen auch sehr, sehr emotionale Bilder erzeugen!

☪ : what do you hate about your language? Ich bin nicht mit Hochdeutsch aufgewachsen, deshalb musste ich mich erst einmal an den Klang gewöhnen, als ich woandershin gezogen bin. Ich mochte ihn am Anfang gar nicht. Mittlerweile geht es aber, obwohl ich Hochdeutsch immer noch nicht besonders schön finde. Ich mag deutsche Dialekte viel lieber (inklusive die alemannischen und österreichischen).

❀ : which language(s) would you like to speak fluently? Ich würde halt wirklich gerne Kasachisch sprechen können 🥺 aber es wird wohl noch mindestens ein Jahr dauern, bis ich überhaupt anfangen kann, es zu lernen :')

espero que pases un buen uyld también - espera mi ask con uyld prompts jeje 💙

[awerbluenofthefae]

me ha encantado "fontanero de almas" y el link de "Heimweh" tb me ha encantado (todo lo q escribe primo levi es precioso,,, hm,me tendría que leer si esto es un hombre)

el proverbio es fantástico y muy alemán, tienes razón (lo había oído en francés pero no sabía que era de origen alemán!! la verdad que suena mejor así)

[awerbluenofthefae]

tengo que hacer mis deberes para mañana y estudiar para mi examen de filosofia pero llevo practicamente todo el día en tumblr así que saben que voy a hacer? una publicación sobre lo que he aprendido en turco! woohooo

(realmente empezé la semana pasada aunque haya estado con duolingo durante más tiempo)

[lesbiangerman]

hola hola! espero que vaya todo bien :)

✌ , ☯ , ☪ & ❀ para el ask game?

✌ favorite proverb/saying from your language:

polacy nie gęsi, iż swój język mają!

☯ what do you love about your language:

trochę nietypowe ale kocham jak bardzo polski jest fleksyjny i skomplikowany :)) te wszystkie przypadki, zdrobnienia i odmiany są mi bliskie sercu. kocham też jak bardzo jest ekspresywny, a polska poezja jest cudowna

☪ what do you hate about your language:

trudne pytanie... kiedy byłam młodsza denerwowała mnie ortografia i czasami irytuje mnie że nie ma tłumaczenia z angielskiego które przekazałoby co chcę powiedzieć

❀ which language do you think of as the most beautiful:

uh oh czy to źle że powiem polski? nie wiem, tyle się już nasłuchałam jaki to nie szeleszczący i drażniący jest mój język, że jestem trochę za bardzo defensywna jeśli o to chodzi. muszę też jednak oczywiście wspomnieć o ukochanym niemieckim, koreańskim i chińskim <3

[awerbluenofthefae]

perdón???? qué??? voy a intentar buscar lo que significa el proverbio porque estoy en shock que maravilla de idioma

me han encantado todas las otras respuestas que bonitas <3 (sobre todo la de la poesía si lees esto [y lo traduces jeje] por favor recomiéndame autores) pero por favor no puedo ver más polaco suena muy bonito y adoro como queda al escrito y ahora voy a querer aprenderlo también!! son demasiados idiomas no puedo no puedo

[lesbiangerman]

cieszę się że ci się spodobało :) jeśli chodzi o polskich poetów, trudno mi wybrać, ale Wisława Szymborska i Adam Mickiewicz to chyba moi ulubieńcy, a jeśli kiedyś rzeczywiście postanowisz nauczyć się polskiego to życzę powodzenia <3

[awerbluenofthefae]

ahhhh muchas gracias!!! me apunto los nombres y echaré un vistazo a algunos de sus poemas :)) no sé si aprenderé polaco pero es definitivamente una posibilidad para un futuro
