What do you mean I don't have time to learn all the languages

[linguaetamor]

I’ve neglected this blog for so long I almost forgot I made it. But I’ve just ordered a bullet journal and I still have two weeks before I go back to work so it’s time to buckle down on my Romance languages and gain my spanish back

[foreverdisneynerd]

For Atlantis, Disney needed a new language for the Atlantean people. To do this, Disney hired Mark Okrand, the man who also created the famous Klingon and Vulcan for the Star Trek series. In the Atlantean language, Mark Okrand’s main source for it’s roots and stems of its words are Proto-Indo-European,but as Okrand also described it as being the “tower of babel” or “root dialect” for all languages in the world, he also used ancient Chinese, Latin, Greek, Biblical Hebrew, along with many other ancient languages or their reconstructions. As such, you can actually learn to write and speak the language!

[strampunch]

This film is so underrated it hurts.

[acquaintedwithrask]

ah this explains how they understood french and english so well almost instantly… better than the magical wind in Pocahontas that’s for sure

[disney-universes]

Man, don’t you just wish Atlantis took off as a sci-fi franchise for Disney just so all that world building they did between this and Subterranean Tours could have found more use?

[broadwaytheanimatedseries]

In a cooler alternate timeline the most successful Disney movies are Atlantis and treasure planet and every movie that came after them was influenced by their style, charm, and most importantly the creativity and passion that went into every little detail

Social skills: noticing when repetition is communication

So there’s this dynamic:

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I *know* that. It’s hot in here.

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: I already explained to you that it’s hot in here!

Autistic person: The door is open!

Other person: Why do you have to repeat things all the time?!

Often when this happens, what’s really going on is that the autistic person is trying to communicate something, and they’re not being understood. The other person things that they are understanding and responding, and that the autistic person is just repeating the same thing over and over either for no reason or because they are being stubborn and inflexible and obnoxious and pushy.

When what’s really happening is that the autistic person is not being understood, and they are communicating using the words they have. There’s a NT social expectation that if people aren’t being understood, they should change their words and explain things differently. Sometimes autistic people aren’t capable of doing this without help.

So, if this is happening, assume it’s communication and try to figure out what’s being communicated. If you’re the one with more words, and you want the communication to happen in words, then you have to provide words that make communication possible. For example:

Other person: Do you want the door to be closed, or are you saying something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Do you want to show me something outside, or something else?

Autistic person: Something else

Other person: Are you worried about something that might happen, or something else?

Autistic person: Worried

Other person: Are you worried that something will come in, or that something will go out?

Autistic person: Baby

Other person: She’s in her crib, and the baby gate is up. Is that ok, or is there still a problem?

Autistic person: ok

Holy fuck.

This changes everything.

*leaves for reference*

[byenyewhy-deactivated20181016]

I babysat an autistic kid for a few years, it’s hard to understand how their brain works sometimes but when you click, everything pays off. patience and love, my friends.

[nostalgiatodreams]

As a speech-language pathologist who works with communication breakdowns for various reasons, I can attest to this. There are various EBP ways, but this sums it up nicely. Only thing I’d change was “child WITH autism” to make it person first language. They are not the disease.

[autism-intensifying]

Autism is not a “disease”. It’s a difference, a condition, sometimes a disability, and it’s part of who I am. And I want to be called autistic. I would actually hate to be called something as dehumanising as “a person with autism”.

[lesbian-bookworm]

Its autistic child not child with autism but other than that

[jabberwockypie]

Not only is it “autistic person” rather than “person with autism” - and a non-autistic person using “person with autism” is a HUGE fucking red flag* - but it’s kind of fucked up that the NT SLP defaulted to “child with autism” when the first post didn’t specify the age of the autistic person.

*Some autistic people - particularly some older autistic people - do say “person with autism, and they’re valid.

Like. Autistic adults exist. We don’t magically disappear when we turn 12 or 18, and we don’t stop being autistic.

Autistic adults can have issues communicating. It doesn’t mean we’re children, it means that sometimes communication is difficult.

Infantilizing autistic people is really shitty, and if you’re doing that when you’re working with autistic people, I do not trust you.

guess who’s decided to start studying for topik :) 

[linguaetamor]

if you need help, I can help with some beginner stuff!!

[stsebastiens]

ooh thank u <3 I really can’t buckle down to do this until the summer (i’m going to use the topik 1 study package), but i would like to at least start studying something while I’m still in school. are there any language apps (besides duolingo lol) that you recommend for casual studying?

[linguaetamor]

drops is a fun easy way to build vocabulary and get more familiar with the alphabet, and I definitely recommend getting duolingo’s companion app tinycards. They have sets of flash cards of all the alphabet, and sets of vocabulary and stuff. grammar I can’t really give you much to go on, as I’ve picked up most of mine from watching kdramas and such, but I’ve found some helpful things on google for grammar (and duolingo does teach you grammar, albeit in a very roundabout, vague way). but definitely see if you can find a letter chart, as the alphabet is the hardest at the beginning lol. there’s also an app called memrise, you might wanna look into that one as well (I’m not sure how much of that is available for free)

[just-shower-thoughts]

Contractions function almost identically to the full two-word phrase, but are only appropriate in some places in a sentence. It’s one of the weird quirks of this language we’ve.

[thechubbynerd]

This post needs some kind of warning sign.

[hugealienpie]

I did not see that coming.

[pi3pr0xy]

Some people say the English language is confusing. To which I say… It’s.

[allthingslinguistic]

That’s the kind of linguist I’m. 

[monstermemories]

I hate this

[bookofmirth]

You know what’s fun about language is how you can use a word with perfect confidence 38,381 times but then when you go to use it the 38,382nd time you have to pull out the dictionary just to be sure you’re doing it right.

From studyblrs I’m looking for ideally biology, vet/animal studies, physics, general science studies, criminal justice or history.

Handwritten VS Typed Korean

This post has been requested by @softsoundmidnightcarlight !

The letters in purple are the letters used for calligraphy but some people with messy handwriting use it for everyday use (not recommended)

When handwriting Korean letters, you’ll notice that Korean people don’t write the letter as you see in when it’s typed! Korean people tend to write these letters so that it’s easier to write. You’ll notice this the most with ‘ㄹ’! Since ‘ㄹ’ is made up of 5 separate lines that are very straight and rigid, when you write it quickly it tends to look more like the English letter ‘z’!

Oh that’s how you write a cursive ㅁ 🙌🏼
