#Klingon

Anyway, I'm glad my Hebrew professor said that those of us who are already familiar with the alefbet can write in cursive if we want bc I don't particularly feel like relearning how to write block script when I'm fairly comfortable w/cursive

#is my handwriting garbage? absolutely. but it's garbage in English too #still looks better than block tho imho :V

Turns out the school has an ASL club 👀

#guess I'm focusing on biblical hebrew and asl now

#Russian

I've had my main tumblr account set to use a Spanish interface since forever ago; I'm thinking I might should set this one to Russian.

I'm kinda curious: do y'all set the interface to your target lang? Does tumblr even support your tl? (the spanish one has a few things that just...aren't translated but I don't run into that too terribly much) If you have multiple tls, how do you choose which one to use?

#my dumb phones were in Spanish too but I'm not sure I'm confident enough to do that for smart phones #sorry I haven't been active; the move-in day for the dorms is this friday and I'm trying to get things ready #but on the upside that means I should have some Biblical Hebrew stuff up starting sometime next week!#Langblr

"Schwa may be written with any of the following letters:

'e' as in taken [ˈtʰeɪkən]"

Wait, really? I only ever hear/say /ɪ/ in the last syllable; maybe /ɛ/ if I feel like using ~pure~ vowels

#from wikipedia btw #wiktionary doesn't list any alternative pronunciations either which seems weird

Klingon Lessons

It’s the first Sunday of the month, which means that it’s time to post the links to the basic Klingon lessons.

#Klingon

Sorry for the inactivity; I've been a bit busy and also been thinking about which languages to drop and which to keep actively studying

The list may change again here in a couple weeks when school starts but FOR NOW:

Drop:

ASL, as it’s not something I can easily get feedback on (which is largely due to me not wanting to record videos; not a lack of a community)

Korean, as I don’t have any particular attachment to it

Modern Hebrew, as I will be taking Biblical Hebrew at college

and Spanish, as I already have it at a decent enough level that I don’t feel like I need to actively study it.

Keep:

Esperanto

Japanese

Klingon

Na’vi

Russian

and Urdu

Having one language per day will hopefully be much more manageable! That said I’ll probably keep interacting with the dropped languages from time to time, and y’all can definitely send me messages in Spanish if you want

#I feel kinda bad for keeping all the conlangs but I'm just more interested in them #that said if I need to cut back further then Esperanto will be next to go since that's also at a pretty decent level #I also thought Klingon would be pretty easy to give up since. I've given up on it several times over the years #but I've gotten surprisingly engrossed in the Duolingo course

Mi pensas ke mi bezonas malaltigi la nombro da lingvoj kiun mi aktive studas; mi stultis kredi ke mi povus studi dek samtempe 😫

#mi postus ruse sed mi ludis Sorto 2 la tuta tago :V #Estas ironia ĉar la originala Sorto estas la ludo kio fariĝis min voli lerni la rusa #3 #4 #5 #Esperanto

Hoy dijé a mi abuela que este otoño volveré a la universidad; se pusó muy feliz al escuchar eso. Fuimos a Walmart y me compró unas cosas que yo necesitaría para el dormitorio: una lámpara, un paraguas, sábanas y una almohada, etcétera. Creo que ella tiene la intención de comprárme los libros de texto también. La amo mucho y estoy muy agradecido, pero me siento vergonzoso (aúnque ella SIEMPRE quiere comprarnos muchas cosas) porque todo es muy caro

#ella me pregunta una y otra vez si quisiere algo más #pues no; estoy bien; ya me has comprado la tienda entera :þ #Spanish #I wrote a lot so I probably made a few mistakes here and there but I guess that's kinda the point

Appalachian English is wonderful and I wish my grandparents hadn't raised my parents to have as little of an accent as possible

#I've been told they were made fun of and they didn't want their kids to be teased too #But it's a crying shame that I was brought up thinking my own heritage was shameful #and I mean it ain't like I got NO traces of Appalachian English in my speech #but I sure don't sound like my grandparents

I don’t think I’m gonna get an Urdu post out tonight; I don’t know enough to try and throw together a sentence and also it’s late. Kind of annoyed with myself but I DID find some good resources so hopefully next week I can actually make a sentence.

I mentioned this in my Esperanto post this week, but for those of you who might prefer English: I'm leaving to visit my grandparents in the morning and won't be back until sometime on Saturday. This means that I won't have audio recordings for Korean or Spanish, and while I can definitely write something the picture's gonna be taken by my tablet and not scanned in so the quality might be worse.

I'm thinking since I don't wanna try to record myself SPEAKING anything while I'm there it might be time to get over the camera shyness and try SIGNING something, but no promises :Þ idk how much free time I’ll have.

#I'm also considering separating Hebrew and Urdu so they each get their own day: Urdu on Thursdays and Hebrew on Fridays #that way I can give them both the attention they deserve #all the other languages I have paired are 1 I know at least passingly well with 1 I barely know #so having a day with 2 I'm a complete beginner in was probably not a good idea

#so with Latin 'r' and 'y' I have this bad habit of wildly extending the...hooks? of those letters so they take up like half a page #(see: my post on the 21st lmao)#anyway the same thing wants to happen w/alef‚ lamed‚ and nun so I tried to rein it in a bit #hopefully this is somewhat more legible #Hebrew

#I am. Iffy on the grammar‚ especially for the first sentence #but I think I finally got the 'gh' sound more or less down? which would be GREAT bc it's been bothering me for YEARS #also I just kinda made up my own thing for Duolingo; I couldn't seem to find an ~official~ Klingonized version of it #Klingon #speaking practice #writing practice

so Duolingo kept teaching me how to say “I sleep” today,

#''potlh'a''' should mean something like 'very important thing'#dunno if that's necessarily the most accurate translation but it's the best I got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#Klingon

I get that high school/college is probably when most people are learning languages but it feels VERY weird to be nearly a decade older than most of the langblrs I see ._.

#It's probably just that a lot of people don't put their age in their description but Boy does it feel kinda lonely
