I started Hebrew, which is why I’ve been dead on this blog, but I don’t think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli

Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back

Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say “excuse me” and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldn’t worry about remembering that since we’ll never need to say it

Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you don’t even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it

Japanese: the closest thing there is to ‘bastard’ is an excessively direct ‘you’ pronoun Hebrew: ‘bitch’ translates directly

Fun fact: Israel has possibly the lowest power-distance metric of any culture in the world, while Japan has one of the highest. I didn’t realize that the CTO of my company was the CTO until somebody else told me, because everybody called him by his first name and engaged in mutual shit-talking/playful insults with him.

In Japan, even calling your boss by the wrong honorific is liable to get you in trouble.

And apparently there’s some sciencey cooperative venture going on between Israel and Japan in an official diplomatic capacity. I want to be a fly on the wall when Japanese and Israeli scientists work together.

Hi I’m bilingual Hebrew/English and I’m in my third year of Japanese study. 

I’d like to share with you one of my favorite Hebrew culture vs Japanese culture stories. 

For one of my classes I was expected to write a speech about my experiences learning Japanese. I decided to focus on the Japanese practice of end-of-sentence omission (Essentially, failing to say the last part of your sentence because it could be considered to rude, like instead of telling someone they can’t do that, you’ll say “I’m sorry but that is somewhat……. (impossible).”). 

When my sensei asked me why I picked such a topic, I explained that the level of attention required interested me, since in Israel everyone typically talks at the same time and interruption is basically normal. 

My sensei didn’t even believe me. She laughed when I said that. I laughed too and asked, “Why are you laughing?” 

She said, “If everyone spoke at the same time, how would they ever understand each other?” 

Japanese/Israeli communication is my dream job and let me tell you living both cultures at once is an absolute riot.

WDYM I MADE THIS ACCOUNT 6 YEARS AGO

[metamatronic]

Can we have Mike and Ennard bonding :)

Michael knows damn well he doesn’t have the weight to set off a creaky floorboard. With a couple dozen pounds of metal endoskeleton, however…

Ennard pulls this stunt every once in a while—with varying degrees of success. Eventually it basically becomes a game between the two of them to see how long Ennard can get away with not being noticed. Michael eventually stops really caring, but it does tend to creep out the rest of the Aftons, lol.

Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.

And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”

I’m like, the fuck you mean??

So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.

I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.

In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.

Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.

This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.

Actually, in the Mexican version (which is the one I saw here in Colombia, and was probably streamed in other countries in Latin America) we had both the yellow and the green bird. That is because Abelardo (the green bird) is the Mexican cousin of Big bird. Initially it was supposed to be the Mexican version of Big Bird, but then it was decided to leave both characters and make them cousins to help explain the kids about the migration wave between USA and Mexico in the 90s

There is even a chapter of the show were Abelardo travels to the US to visit his cousin Big Bird

Later, they decided that all the different birds, from all the versions around the world, would be "cousins" too, with the idea of showing the diversity of cultures and teach the kids about unity and acceptance against racism and discrimination

I want to write a self insert fanfic, but I can't. The mental barrier that was placed upon me messes with my brain to the point that it hurts. I just want to be happy with my comfort character
