I'm moving soon to @polyyglott

Learning languages, trying not to die in the process. Spanish (native), English (fluent), French (intermediate), German, Japanese and Korean (basic, very, very basic). Dabbling in Guarani. Also, I want to study Classics, so expect some Ancient Greek and Latin to drop by.

Important, followers

I’m moving. I’ve had a bit of a problem with emails and whatnot, and because of that I’m switching blogs. You might have noticed that I added an ‘a’ to this url, and that is because I want to keep the original one for the new blog.

Right now I’m setting it up, and soon I’ll start following everyone that I currently follow from there and putting some content into it. The new blog already exists, so if you want you can follow it now (at @polyyglott), because this one is going to be inactive in about a month or so, and I’ll be doing stuff from the over there. Nothing else is going to change, the content will be similar to what it is now.

[polyyglotta-blog]

By the way, I’m going to be rebloging this periodically for a while, so if you don’t want to keep seeing it, blacklist #important followers . Because that’s what I’m tagging it as.

[polyyglotta-blog]

Once again, because the queue in this blog is gone and the other one is up and running. Sort of. I still need to follow some more people to build up my dash and take care of a couple of things, but there's already content and from now on I'll only post from there. So go to @polyyglott for more.

[expectopatronuts]

time to fill the queue up, kids

hey hey! it feels like I’ve been running this blog mostly on shitposts and memes lately and i figured now that i’m done with Academic Hell would be a good time to try (and fail) to fill my queue with nice things again.

So pls like/reblog this if you don’t mind me queueing massively from you and post any of the following:

-harry potter -harry potter -harry potter -harry potter -harry potter -tolkien -star wars -studio ghibli

Bonus: if you tell me your creations/writing/art tags, I’ll check it out and probably queue from there first :)

@mutuals: signal-boosting much appreciated

This post is to remind you that

if we are studying the same languages, we can be study buddies

if you’re studying my native language, you can ask me questions regarding vocab and grammar, ask me to proof-read something you wrote, ask me to translate something or just write me if you want to practise writing

just let me know :)

white dude in this horror movie : *translates old arabic text* *somehow it rhymes perfectly in english* 

Now I really wanna see a horrible faltering translation from one of these movies, like “Whomsoever enters this room, they shall… well, this word is like… literally it means ‘unbecome,’ but it was used as a euphemism for death, pooping, and—wait, when was this carved?  was it 15th century? Cuz it was a euphemism for sex too in the 15th century.  This is either a cursed crypt, a bathroom, or a royal bedroom. Who wants to roll the dice?”

“You guys, I’ve gotta be honest, okay? This thing’s written in some kind of weird localized dialect, and I’ve only ever studied the standard form of the language. I mean, this part right here…I can’t even tell if it’s some kind of error, or an obscure slang phrase…whatever it is, I have no idea what the fuck it means.”

[roachpatrol]

‘this is written in ancient sumerian. it’s about… uh… well that word is… uh. okay this is either a poem about farming, or straight-up a nasty sex guide. it might be both. i want a shower.’

[lizawithazed]

“okay see the thing is in one dialect this word is the name of a terrifying Demon but in a completely different language from the same area that has the same writing system and gave a lot of loan words to the first, it means ‘horse’ - and the context is really not helping”

When Shakespeare popularized a form of sonnet that differed structurally from the earlier Italian sonnet, was he smashing the Petrarch-y?
