i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves: 

An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete

Torneros de Jamuz, Spain

Duca, Croatia

A helicopter from Italy’s civil protection service drops water on a fire near the railway between Venice and Trieste

Residents take refuge on the beach as a wildfire burns on the mountain next to the village of Lithi, on the Greek island of Chios

Men gather cattle during a forest fire in Vieira de Leiria, Marinha Grande, Portugal.

Charred trees are seen on the hills above the Cloister of Thivaidas on Mount Athos, a World Heritage Site in Greece

Portugal

This is fucking important. I am glad someone fucking spoke about this and said what they had to say. The damage is terrible, and all the evergreen, stone, even the ground is black. I was fucking terrified when Croatia was burning. The fire was near a village where I like and I thought it will burn down. I thought the church will burn down. I thought the cemetery where my grandpa is buried will burn. I still remember the smell of smoke, and when I went to check how bad is fire, my clothes and hair and skin all stunk of smoke. It didn’t go away for weeks.

This is NASA’s picture of Croatia and Montenegro burning. My fucking country was burning. Fucking reblog this. I don’t care that it isn’t UK or US, or that it doesn’t go with your blog, fucking. Reblog. It.

Not my blog type, I dont care.

Reblog for awareness. Do it.

Boost this or so help me

I don’t care if this “Doesn’t fit your blog theme” or “You don’t think people will notice if you reblog it”

I

Don’t

Care

If you don’t reblog this, that’s a conscious decision to ignore that people are suffering.

And one last thing

TAG EVERY SINGLE BLOG YOU KNOW

I don’t care if you don’t think you’re big enough for them to notice you or you’re worried about bothering them, you do it regardless! I nearly had a panic attack tagging some of the bigger blogs I know of because I’m practically invisible in term of popularity but I still tagged them because it’s worth me being anxious if it means someone gets help.

So unless you don’t care about people dying and suffering, then reblog this and be a decent human being.

I know my blog isn’t for this but this effects everyone to some extent. I have tagged literally everyone I follow. Please reblog and spread the word.

Hi Lindie. How hard is it to learn new language? When you first started learning Chinese, which step did you take first? Learn Pinyin or go right away to how to write Chinese character? Is there any difference between Mnadarin and Cantonese? That's a lot of question but hope to get answer from you. Thank you so much and stay safe. 😇❤

Hi, I have a video about how to learn Chinese here and another video about how to learn any language from scratch here, in which I outline the steps you should take. I hope it is useful! In terms of the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese, I have info in this article I wrote about learning Simplified vs Traditional Chinese. You can also check out my Chinese resources page for info and resources. Thanks! 

[jayunlikelystudy]

Once I have learned tone and pinyin in chinese, what am I supposed to learn next? ad if you have advices and ressources for that I'd be thankful🙏

[jayunlikelystudy]

Do you guys have any recommendation of textbooks to learn madarin ?

Vocabulary: More Questions

안녕, 여러분! In an earlier lesson, we learned about the 6 basic question words: who, what, where, when, why, and how. In this vocabulary list, I want to teach some more question words we haven’t covered yet. Let’s start!

얼마나 = How / How much

The word 얼마나 (or sometimes just 얼마) is used when asking about quantities, be it money, time, etc. For example:

얼마나 기다려야 돼요? = How long do I have to wait?

얼마나 걸었어요? = How much did you walk?

얼마예요? = How much is it? (usually asked to a store worker when you want to know the price of an item)

얼마나 걸려요? = How long does it take?

걸리다 = to take (time)

몇 = How many

몇 is also used to refer to quantities or amounts, but the English translation of it would be “how many.” I would say it’s mainly used for countable objects or experiences (similar to what we use “how many” in English). Let’s see some examples:

몇 살이예요? = How old are you?

하루에 몇 번 이를 닦습니까? (found this sentence on Naver Dictionary) = How many times a day do you brush your teeth?

이 = teeth

닦다 = to wipe / to scrub / to brush

몇 시 = What time

While 몇 on its own means “how many,” 몇 시 means “what time.”  몇 시 is pretty simple–it’s just used to ask at what time something occurred. Here are some examples:

몇 시예요? = What time is it?

The next couple of sentences are also from Naver Dictionary (which is a great resource for sample sentences!):

몇 시가 좋으십니까? = What time is good for you?

은행 오늘 몇 시에 닫죠? = What time does the bank close today?

어느 = Which

어느 is pretty much used the same way we use the word “which” in English–you’re asking someone to pick from a selection of options. For example:

어느 셔츠 제일 좋아해? = Which shirt is your favorite? / Which shirt do you like the most? (informal)

제일 = most (precedes an adjective or verb)

우체국은 어느 쪽입니까? (from Naver Dictionary) = Which way is the post office?

우체국 = post office

어느 쪽 = which way

쪽 means “way,” and comes after a directional word. For example: 

오른쪽 = right

왼쪽  = left

남쪽 = south

북쪽 = north

동쪽 = east

서쪽 = west

어느 아이폰 살까요? = Which iPhone should I buy?

아이폰 = iPhone

무슨 = What

무슨 can be a little tricky to distinguish from the word 무엇, which also translates to “what.” I think Naver Dictionary’s definition of 무슨 can hopefully show the slight difference: 무슨 means “what, what kind of, what sort of.” 무엇 is just a word meaning a plain straightforward “what,” while 무슨 is used when asking “what kind.” 무슨 also precedes a noun, while 무엇 is usually the noun itself.  Let’s look at some sentences from Naver Dictionary to understand it better:

 무슨 일을 하세요? = What kind of work do you do?

Notice how 무슨 precedes the noun 일 to mean “what kind of work.”

그것은 무슨 책이에요? = What kind of book is that?

무슨 일이에요? = What’s the matter? / What happened? / What’s going on?

Here, 일 doesn’t really mean “work” or “job.” I’m not sure of a literal translation for it in this case, as with most Korean, don’t worry about trying to literally translate everything but instead just focus on the meaning! 

그게 무슨 뜻이죠? = What does that mean?

뜻 = meaning 

Overall, notice how 무슨 precedes a noun in these sentences. You wouldn’t say “뭐 일” or “뭐 책” because 뭐 is already a noun (it’s actually considered a pronoun). Thus, it cannot be attached to another noun. That’s what 무슨 is for!

어떤 = What kind

어떤 is very similar to 무슨 but is used a little differently. The main difference is that 어떤 usually asks for descriptions of whatever you’re asking about. For instance:

그는 어떤 사람이예요? = What kind of person is he? / What is he like?

In this sentence, you’re asking for a description of this person. You could respond with: 똑똑한 사람이에요 (He is a smart person) or 착한 사람이에요 (He is a kind person), for instance.

어떤 노래를 좋아하세요? = What kind of songs do you like?

Again, this is asking for descriptions of the kind of food you like. To answer, you might say “fast” or “upbeat” or “slow” (adjectives, essentially)

If you were to say “무슨 노래를 좋아하세요?” you would be asking more for a genre of songs, like rap, pop, etc (more like categories). 

Looks like that’s about it for this lesson! If you want more help distinguishing some of these words that seem very similar, I highly recommend this Talk to Me in Korean video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvyAulhELw0 

As always, feel free to ask me questions as well!! See you in the next lesson! 안녕!

[a-pop-of-korean]

Level 2 / Lesson 3: -지만 (However)

안녕, 여러분! Hey, everyone! In the last lesson, we discussed the different ways to say “and” in Korean. In this one, however, we are going to learn one of the few ways to say “but” or “however” in Korean. There are a few different ways to say this, but I think the most basic way is -지만. So let’s start learning!

하지만… (But…)

Let’s start with talking about the word 하지만. 하지만 means “but” or “however.” It’s used similarly to how we use it in English—it’s put at the beginning of a sentence. It’s used to show a contrast between what’s going on in the two sentences. For example:

이 바지가 마음에 들어요. 하지만 너무 비싸요. = I like these pants. But they are too expensive. 

저는 수학을 못해요. 하지만 나아져요. = I am bad at math. But I am getting better at it.

학교가 싫어요. 하지만 높은 성적을 받아요 = I don’t like school. But I get high grades.

Not incredibly complicated, I hope! Let’s move on to the second way to use 하지만.

-지만

In English, sometimes we don’t always use “but” at the beginning of a sentence. Rather, we just begin a new clause in the middle of the first entrance we say. For example, instead of saying “I don’t like school. But I get high grades,” we would probably just say “I don’t like school, but I get high grades.” The same can be done in Korean! Drop the 하 in 하지만 and add -지만 to the first verb stem. Then finish the rest of the sentence with the second clause. In other words:

[verb / adjective stem 1] + 지만 + [clause 2]

This is really useful for making your speech more concise (there’s also no difference in nuance/meaning!). Let’s transform the sentences we made above:

이 바지가 마음에 들지만 너무 비싸요. = I like these pants, but they’re too expensive.

너무 = so / too

마음에 들다 = to like (literally means “to come into one’s heart”)

마음에 들 + 지만 + 너무 비싸요 = 마음에 들지만 너무 비싸요 = I like it, but’s it’s too expensive.

저는 숙제를 못하지만 나아져요. = I’m bad at math, but I am improving.

나아지다 = to improve / to get better

못하다 = to be bad at (something)

못하 + 지만 + 나아져요 = 못하지만 나아져요 = I am bad at it, but I am improving.

학교가 싫지만 높은 성적을 받아요 = I don’t like school, but I get high grades

높다 = to be high

성적 = grade(s)

받다 = to receive / to get

싫다 = to not like / to hate

싫 + 지만 + 높은 성적을 받아요 = 싫지만 높은 성적을 받아요 = I don’t like it, but I get high grades.

That’s about it for this lesson! This was a pretty quick one, but I hope y’all understood everything! 한국어가 어렵지만 재미있어요! Korean is hard, but it’s fun! If you have any questions, please ask!! See you in the next lesson! 안녕!

"Can I suck your dick, please?"

You catch Johnny of guard with your question, having been in the middle of a movie that you had picked.

"What?"

You're fidgeting your seat as you repeat your question and it only takes Johnny seconds to agree, already spreading his thighs so that you could get comfortable between them.

"Not that I'm complaining, but why?"

He's happy when you hum, his cock already free as you press kisses down his length.

"You have a nice dick. That's why."

[ravenlesslangblr]

9 points about language learning and how I’m learning 20+ of them

I’ve had a few requests to write about how I learn my languages. To different degrees, there’s currently 20+ of them and I don’t see myself stopping yet. The thing is, learning languages comes really easily to me and I want to share, maybe it will be helpful to somebody else.

First, I’d like to have a look at first versus second language acquisition. I’m a linguist and I’m super interested in Child Language Acquisition. That however, has a critical age of 14 (or so I was always told) and is then no longer possible and any language learned after that age will never progress as quickly or can’t be learned perfectly. Well. I disagree. The simple difference is - first language acquisition is how you acquired your first language(s) as a child. By imitating, finding patterns, etc. Second language acquisition is what you know from language courses. Vocabulary, irregular verb tables, endless exercises. Now that we got some of the terminology off the table, let me see how I actually learn languages: 1) I utilise elements of the first language acquisition rather than second language I’ve only studied vocab a couple times at school, when I put them into Quizlet or when someone forced me to. I’ll get back to it in another point. I don’t learn patterns. I know there is one and I let the input do its magic of slithering into my head. Again, more on that in point 2. You always get told you’ll learn a language better when you’re thrown into the country where they speak it.  And it’s so true because of the processes behind it. Because input and immersion are the keys and that’s how children learn, too.

2) I don’t cram languages. I process them.

Around langblrs, I keep seeing all the ‘crying over verb tables’, ‘trying to learn a 1000 words this week’ and the like. That may work for you, sure. But I’ve never done that. I did learn a few irregular verb patterns for German in class, but while I could recite them, it wasn’t helpful. In Irish, I sometimes still wonder which verb ‘An ndeachaigh tú?’ comes from. The thing is, you’re able to process language. You know this word is probably irregular. If you come across it and don’t know what the irregular form is, look it up. After you’ve looked it up for the tenth time, you’ll probably remember by then. Same with anything else. Don’t try to learn things by heart when it comes to languages. 3) Vocab?? Same rule applies here. I’ve only learned vocab at school and then a handful of times when I wasn’t too lazy to put it into Quizlet (which is fun and I learn something, but it’s more of a useful pastime than anything). When you read, just skip the words you don’t know and only really look them up if you can’t tell by context. NEVER translate vocabulary. I mean, sure, look up what it means, but don’t connect it to the word itself. Connect it to the meaning. Pictures work better. As for abstract words, imagine the concept. Just try not to bridge the meaning of the word with your native language. Languages in your brain are meant to be two separate units. Unless you’re working on a translation piece, they shouldn’t be ‘touching’. 4) I use example sentences for everything.

Grammar guides are useful but rather than learning all the rules at once, take it one step at a time and remember some example sentences and let them guide you through the grammar rule you need.

5) Input is everything. Output is hard, but you’re basically imitating input and utilizing patterns you know (or think you know). Let me give you an example. Let’s say I’m writing a piece on my daily routine, for example. I make use of the example sentences and try to tailor them to my own needs. Trial and error, if I make a mistake, it’s okay, if somebody points it out, I probably won’t make it next time. As I progress, I will gradually remove the mistake. Same goes to new words and new verbs. Use the input you’ve got. Does this verb sound like some other verb you’ve heard before? It’s might have a similar conjugation pattern. You can check it, you don’t have to.

6) Learning languages should NOT be stressful! I never stressed over learning a language. Sure, I’m frustrated that after a year and a half of learning Irish, I’m not 100% fluent, but I’ve never stressed over it. I’ve never cried over it. I’ve never cried over a language (I only cried after a French oral exam which I thought I failed). Don’t be hard on yourself and try learning through a method that’s not stressful. Watch videos for children. Read books for children. Write down cool things in your target language(s). 7) You’ve learned a language before. Why wouldn’t you be able to learn it now in a very similar way? This is basically me saying that I have little belief in the efficiency of pure second language acquisition. Maybe a few individuals can reach fluency by cramming a language, the thing is, I think that if we concentrate on processing instead of remembering, just like we did when we were children, we can reach better results in a shorter amount of time. Also, if this is your third or fourth language, compare to languages you already know. 8) I don’t start with basics. I start ‘somewhere’.

Delve into the language the second you’ve started. Are you overwhelmed? That’s fine! You’ll find your way around it. Start with word meanings, finding out what kind of sentences those are and then build your way around it. Don’t start saying ‘hello’ and ‘I’m from’. Those are cool, but usually, they are used in a different way when you actually go out and speak. You’ll get them along the way.

9) Don’t rely on instructions (only). Rely on yourself.

This is just my two cents. I’ve pieced this together trying to remember how I’ve learned what I’ve learned and comparing it to how others around me learned. Please, let me know if it makes any sense. I may edit this and post this again later if I have any more ideas. Feel free to contribute or to bombard me with questions. I’m happy to answer.

Hi, I found your yt channel a few days ago serching for language learning tips. I'm italian (hence my not-so-good english) and I've graduated two weeks ago with a BA in Foreign Languages. I speak EU Portuguese and a bit of French, but I'm completely fascinated by Mandarin. My problem is: i don't know where to start. What was you method? Thank you, you really inspire me :D

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, my inbox has been very full! I hope you didn’t wait too long :( And thank you so much for watching my videos! Also, congratulations on your graduation! It’s also great that you want to start with Mandarin. Here are some practical tips that I hope you will find useful. Good luck! 加油！EDIT: I’ve answered this question in a video format here! <3Where to start when learning Mandarin Chinese?1. Learn basic Hanzi (Chinese characters)Learn some basic Chinese characters. It’s a good idea to learn the stroke order from the start so you get used to writing them correctly and that you don’t suffer down the line. Start on the right foot. I suggest you learn the 100 most common Chinese characters as a start. Keep in mind the tips for stroke order, like left to right, left vertical stroke (usually) before top horizontal stroke etc (source).2. Learn basic grammar structuresChinese grammar is remarkably simple and similar to English. Learn grammar online or from textbooks and write down the grammar structures with as many different words as you can. 3. Get a textbook and dictionaryMy favorite dictionary app is Pleco. It’s great! A paper dictionary is good too, especially if you have to look up radicals. A good textbook I can recommend is New Practical Chinese Reader.  Integrated Chinese is good too. I also used Berlitz Basic Mandarin Chinese but it’s quite basic and slow, but the audio is great. If you can’t afford a textbook, there are many free resources online. Memrise is great for learning vocabulary quickly. The BBC also has online lessons.4. Up your vocab by translating songsYou can check the pinyin and translation of song lyrics (if you have the Chinese original) on a website like Purple Culture. I like translating songs because the lyrics stick in my memory, so I remember them better. Writing the song down in a notebook and writing the meanings above the words is also a good way to learn. You can also replace words in sentences if you learn new words, as long as you keep the grammar correct. If you need lists of Chinese singers, feel free to ask me or just conduct a Youtube search for most popular songs in China or Taiwan :)5. Watch movies and TV shows in Chinese with subtitles.You can learn new words from the subtitles and you’ll be exposed to a natural accent a lot. Listening is excellent practice. You can repeat the words too to test your pronunciation. Speaking of, if you don’t know if you’re saying something right, Forvo is a fantastic site to hear natural pronunciations of stuff. 6. Get a language partner Make sure to find someone who is serious about pracrticing and will fix your mistakes and teach you. You can find a partner on mylanguageexchange, interpals or HelloTalk app. 7. Download apps to practiceHiNative: Ask questions and get quick answers from nativesiTalki: Write a diary entry and get correctionsLingoDeer: Excellent app for learning Mandarin Chinese from scratchHelloTalk: Good to meet native speakers with and practiceWeChat: Chinese chatting app where you can meet people and chat, but not specific to language learningChinese Skill, etc. Tons of apps in the app store!

8. Keep track of your progressWrite a diary, even if your sentences are basic. It will force you to look up and learn new words, and you’ll be using the language and learning without actually studying. Tracking your progress will keep you motivated, too!

What is your study plan like?

I have a post here explaining! 

Do you use any other social media?

I have an Instagram for Korean Idioms, and another Instagram for all my vocabulary study cards! I also have a Twitter for updates!

How long have you been studying Korean?

Honestly, not long! I’ve only been dabbling in the language since late October 2015.

Do you self study?

Yes. I try to dedicate at least five hours a week into learning grammar and vocabulary.

What is your native language?

My mother tongue is English!

What is your name?

I use my initials L.E. as a mash up for my name online; so most people call me Elle (pronounced Ellie)! My real name is Emmie/Emily.

Will you add audio to your study cards?

I did consider making audio for the pronunciation, however I came to the conclusion that the quantity of vocabulary I’m supplying each week is already being juggled on top of university work. So making videos or audio would only increase the work and provide difficult to keep up. Although, I’m not completely dismissing the idea, so I’ll see what happens!

Will you add romanisation to you study cards?

I personally don’t think that romanisation is necessary, and quite often, it seems that learners can find it quite restrictive. This is mainly due to the fact that it can actually inhibit proper pronunciation and hinder reading fluency. For this reason, I don’t like to include it. However, for those that like to use romanisation, personally putting in the effort and piecing together the romanisation yourself is a great way to truly learn it by heart! After all, it’s all about practice. ^^

Am I allowed to save the study card you’ve made?

Of course. That’s why I make them! ;) However, I do not allow the re-uploading of any of my flashcards without first asking permission. I put time and effort into these study cards, and it’s upsetting to see my work posted without proper credit.

Why did you start learning Korean?

I love language, and have dabbled in many! I decided to learn a language completely different to anything I’ve learnt before, so I picked Korean randomly. I fell in love with it, and from there I’ve found a secret passion for Korean drama!

What other languages have you studied/know?

I have studied German, French, Russian, Japanese, and have recently just started to learn Danish. Although, Korean has been the most fun!

Hello everyone! To celebrate this blog reaching 100 followers (wow!) I decided to provide, to anyone who is interested, a masterpost full of resources for learning Mandarin Chinese! Two years ago, I walked in to my CHI 101 class with zero knowledge of the language, and four semesters later, I am able to read, write, and hold a conversation in Mandarin! In this masterpost, I will provide all the resources and techniques I learned in my university classes that helped me learn Mandarin, as well a free PDF copy of the textbook I used for my CHI 101 and CHI 102 class!  [original gif by: bigblueboo]
