Languages studying dumblr

@lamamess self-studying Japanese (since January 2017). It's more like a post dump now. I reblog stuff a lot. And sometimes post something of my own. My native language is Russian. I'm also interested in studying some other languages but do very little about it :C

鶴岡天神祭　Tsuruoka Tenjinsai festival

​人々は流罪となり接触を禁じられていた菅原道真との別れを惜しみさよならをするために派手な衣装で身を隠し酒を酌み交わすというユニークな方法でサヨナラしたのでした。

the festival is dedicated to sugawara no michizane, a 9th-century scholar and politician who was unjustly exiled from kyoto to kyushu by his political rivals. the local people, who deeply admired him, wanted to say their final goodbyes. however, because interacting with an exiled official was strictly forbidden, they devised a clever plan: they disguised themselves with large straw hats and cloths over their faces so they could secretly gather, share sake, and see him off one last time.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

Japanese doesn’t exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor you’ve ever had pulls your paper over and says “Okay listen here you little piece of shit I’m gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.”

This (studying in Chile for a year) is more or less how I realized my two PhD-having, tenured professor expat parents raised me to speak the most disrespectful and swearword-riddled version of Spanish possible (with plenty of ancient slang I didn't know was slang thrown in). It was like:

花より団子

Dango Over Flowers

Practicality Over Aesthetic

“ピンヒールよりブーツの方が好きです。”

“花より団子ですね。”

Please correct me if I’m wrong
