jules, langblr (of sorts)

23 | language fiend and german meme reblogger extraordinaire

[multilingualmadness]

Intro

Jules | 23 | Well. This certainly used to be a langblr?

Nowadays it's about 50% German shitposting (this blog is my only outlet, I can't unleash that upon any of my other side blogs) and 50% other vaguely language related chaos. My languages are

German (native, C2)

English (C1, currently studying at university)

French (C1, also currently studying at university)

Swedish (probably down to B2 at this point)

Italian (still got my B2 certificate but realistically it’s A2 at best these days)

Spanish (A2)

Latin (involuntarily suffered my way through the uni basics)

Languages I studied at some point but stopped: Russian, Korean, Norwegian

Languages I don’t really study but am interested in: Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Mandarin

I post about any and all languages, but these are the ones I have some experience with. Feel free to interact however and whenever you want :)

My favorite quirk of American English is that since we're constantly exaggerating, sometimes it's more intense to say something slightly less intense. Because like, it means you actually thought about it.

"you look great!" - normal. Anyone could say this. Could be true or could just be lying to be nice. Very normal expected thing to say to someone

"you look good." - gay as hell thing to say to someone.

learning languages is fun because in some areas youll be like "oh wow theres one word for this thing thats covered by 20 different words in english? thats so easy and convinient!" and then in other areas you'll be like "what the fuck do you mean you use different numbers depending on what kind of object youre counting. im going to kill myself."

not changing pronouns but changing my tense. you may only refer to me in the past tense. make everyone think im dead or estranged, have fun with it and be dramatic

“my friend would have loved this….”

“that was one of her favorite movies…”

“my friend used to always say…”

give yourself a mysterious past and give me dead wife syndrome

Still wrapping my head around the fact the phrase "Hold Your Horses" is a play on the word Stable...

To be stable.

because polls that list languages/countries/regions tend to cause confusion i want to clarify that i was more specific for languages that i anticipate more people listen to music in. most tumblr users are american or european so i may specify different european or north/south american languages but classify languages from africa and asia more broadly!

chat i was struggling with the answer limit but if you want to specify in the notes please do
