being bilingual is understanding but not being able to translate because your brain couldn’t be bothered to do any extra work and is just content with knowing what the heck is going on

shysurvivor

Being bilingual is sitting in the class of your second language and people asking you to translate the word and you struggle because you get the meaning, the feeling, the general aim of the word but can’t even use your own language to translate it.

i’ll be honest: texting in french is somewhat of a nightmare. things are often written phonetically and literally nothing will look like the french in your textbook. however, just like actual french; it may be nonsense, but it’s nonsense with rules.

in general: - no apostrophes - no accents - je/tu + être and je/tu + avoir become one word je suis → jsuis tu as → tas - je + any verb can become one word je dois → jdois - objects become one word je l’ai → jlai - basically anything that can be combined is combined

ajd - aujourd’hui bcp - beaucoup c - c’est dac - daccord dmn - demain eske - est-ce que g - j’ai gt - j’étais je ss - je suis jcp - je ne comprends pas jpp - j’en peux plus jsp - je ne sais pas jtm - je t’aime koa - quoi koi - quoi mdr - mort de rire mm - même oklm - au calme pq - pourquoi pr - pour prcq - parce que psk - parce que ptn - putain ui - oui wi - oui we - ouais ue - ouais qqch - quelque chose qqn - quelqu’un qlqn - quelqu’un qlq - quelqu’un sa - ça slt - salut ski - ce qui squi - ce qui stp - s’il te plaît svp - s’il vous plaît tfk - tu fais quoi tg - ta gueule tjr - toujours tqt - t'inquiète tt - tout wsh - wesh ya - il y a

hope this helps! and although i did make this list based off of things my friends have said, not everyone texts like this - don’t be too afraid!

geschiedenis-en-talen

This is on the bottom of the grammar explanation of Norwegian conjunctions on Duolingo.

My first reaction: ehm rude My second reaction: fair enough

me: decided it was a good idea to learn more french

also me: has homework for french social studies class that’s due tomorrow, and that’s a great opportunity to practice french but every other language seems veeeeerrrrrrrryyyyy interesting right now

What if disney and rosetta stone…..teamed up together and the disney characters would teach lil kiddos how to speak a different language. Like…belle and the beast teach french, aladdin and jasmine teach an arabic language, hercules and meg can teach greek, rapunzel teaches german (i think her tale is from germany), mulan and mushu teach chinese and lilo and stitch and Nani can teach the Hawaiian language.

How fuckin incredible would that be. Fun for kids and new knowledge on speaking another language.

Cupidon (m.) - Cupid

S’embrasser - to kiss

Février - February (French months should always be lowercased except when starting a sentence)

Fleur (f.) - flower

Petit(e) ami(e) - boyfriend/girlfriend (less common, see next word for more common)

when someone’s like, “why are you even learning [x language]? that’s what google translate’s for lol” and it’s taking everything in you not to throttle them:

I remember when I took a linguistics class in high school (like 3 years ago) and my teacher showed us this site that was super cool but I can’t remember its name. I don’t remember 100% how it was structured but it was something along the lines of you type a word in English and it shows you the word in other IE-languages. Or if it was words with the same root in other languages? (I think the latter one) Like you’d type “garden” and you would get a map of Europe and on Sweden it says like “gård” and on France “jardin” etc. as well as an English translation. I think it was something like that? Anyway, if anyone recognized this website please tell me what it’s called!
