Hello party people

I have been on a now 4 year hiatus from this blog but I figured I should do a fun little update since I encountered something very funny today.

I have since completed my French degree that everyone made fun of me for (and still do) in addition to another major and 2 minors. As to the “What are you doing with that?” question, I’m getting my masters in languages and international business!

Now for the fun story!

As some may know (if you’re still active) I had one singular post that went viral back in my heyday and apparently it continues to circulate. While doing my daily mindless TikTok scroll, I stumbled upon a screenshot of said post with about 17k likes and over 200k views. It landed on my fyp on a meme page; the comments were much nicer on TikTok than Tumblr. Feels like a very small world, especially with a very niche interest, but I’m glad my fyp knows I still love linguistics!

Now I will go back to my hiatus and enjoy my life as a step back from other forms of media as well. I hope you all still enjoy your time here and I hope you never lose the joy of learning languages. I know I never will :)

Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books  that I try to update regularly 

UPDATE because apparently not everyone has seen this yet the new and improved version of this is a MEGA folder

In my last post I explained how I am in need of someone to read over my final essays for the semester. I finished and submitted my English finals and as of now I am in the process of writing for French, philosophy, and theology.

For my French final, I have to write an essay regarding my experience with COVID and how it impacted my life, and this essay has to be submitted to the American Journal of French Studies in order for me to receive full credit. Since we have ✨anxiety✨ I would really like someone to look over my French paper before I submit it to both my professor and the writing competition, preferably someone who is at an advanced or native level.

I promise to keep you guys posted on my submission to the AJFS, even though I highly doubt I will win. I still think this opportunity is fantastic because even if I don’t win, my submission is still going to be published in this journal 😮.

If you are willing to help, please message me!! I will take all the help I can get ❤️

Hello y’all!

It’s definitely been a bit since I’ve posted on here and I promise I will try to catch you guys up as much as I can on my language learning journey, as SO much has happened over the course of the pandemic (trying to focus on the positives). I’ve just been super busy with college and loading myself up with credits because I’ve since added a major and a minor that I’m super excited about!! I’m hoping it will help me figure out what I’m doing after undergrad, because quite frankly I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing I’m just going with the flow at this point.

Anyways, I’ve in the process of completing everything I need to get done for finals week, and every single final I have is a 6-9 page paper. I was wondering if any of y’all would be willing to proof read some of my final papers, my French final and poetry final in particular.

If you are interested in helping a girl out, please message me! All suggestions would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Nit-picky formal French grammar is going to be the death of me I stg

[procrastinating-polyglot]

Je cherche encore quelqu’un qui voudrait parler avec moi sur zoom ou Skype pour practiquer le français. Envoyez-moi un message si vous êtes intéressé! 😊

TikTok en Français

Salut! I hope that everyone is doing great~ Time has been flying with my classes. Its coming to a month since I’m at home for the semester. I am getting used to it thus far.

Anyways, for all french language learners, I wanted to share my newly discovered way of practicing on your french listening and reading.

Watch French Tik Toks. I’m serious.

I’m not referring to the dancing ones but some really interesting ones that talk about about tips and tricks.

Right now, I’m following the hashtag #MeilleurConseil , where they TikTokers speaking and having written texts sharing helpful tips on just about anything.

I believe that the best ways to practice is to integrate the language in your daily life through social media since we are using it everyday. Of course Tik Tok has a bad rep for propagating some really unpleasant stuff but it has help spread good things too. Let’s use it wisely to our advantage ~

Try it out lemme know what you think !

Share any other tik tok hashtags that you guys find interesting for other to check out too. ~~

Merci à tous🌻

I don’t know how I didn’t figure this out but now that I have I don’t know what to do with this information

[procrastinating-polyglot]

I saw this meme and it reminded me of the time where I posted this other meme and over 100,000 people decided to attack me on it 🤷‍♀️

I also wish my sarcasm was more apparent in the first one bc I am well aware that this only occurs in these languages and not many others in the world but I was made fun of for a meme instead of people going to my blog and seeing that I love languages and linguistics

[procrastinating-polyglot]

Soooo I kinda got hit by a car while walking today and I was the victim of a hit and run. The sad part is that was the most exiting thing that has happened to me since quarantine turned my spring break into a permanent one 😬

[procrastinating-polyglot]

I’m ok btw!!!

Grammaire française C1

Les propositions relatives complexes

Les propositions subordonnées ne peuvent pas être indépendantes et ne peuvent pas constituer à elles seules une phrase. Elles sont « attachées » à une proposition principale qui peut exister seule.

Les propositions relatives sont reliées à la proposition principale par un pronom relatif simple (qui, que, quoi, dont, où) ou composé (lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles, duquel, desquels, desquelles, auquel, auxquels, auxquelles). Par exemple : J’ai adoré le livre dont tu m’as parlé la semaine passée. La société dans laquelle je rêvais de travailler a fait faillite.

Les propositions relatives occupent toujours la même fonction dans la phrase : complément du nom ou du pronom antécédent. En revanche, les pronoms relatifs peuvent occuper différentes fonctions.

la fonction sujet : qui

Exemple : J’entends un oiseau qui chante. J’aime les fraises qui sont bien rouges.

la fonction complément d’objet direct (COD) : que

Exemples : La fille que j’aime est partie. Le roman que j’ai écrit a été publié.

la fonction complément d’objet indirect (COI) : qui, que, quoi, dont

Exemples : La voiture dont je vous ai parlé est déjà louée. C’est à lui que je parle.

la fonction complément du nom ou de l’adjectif : dont

Exemples : J’habite la rue dont le sol est pavé. C’est la première copie dont je suis satisfaite.

la fonction complément circonstanciel de lieu ou de temps : où

Exemples : L’université où Marie étudie a été rénovée. Il a plu le jour où je suis tombé en vélo.

Une même phrase peut comporter plusieurs propositions relatives : La femme qui vit à côté de chez moi et qui n’est jamais là est hôtesse de l’air.

Second semester done ✔️

Quarantine really did me dirty though. I’m not looking foreword to looking at my gpa 😬

[procrastinating-polyglot]

Ok so I’ve stumbled upon the rocketbook and I think it looks really cool! I was wondering if any of you studyblrs have tried it and if it is worth breaking my bank account ✌️

[procrastinating-polyglot]

Please do not go on my sarcastic tags and try to message me saying that you will pay me to be your sugar baby or you want to buy pictures of me. I am very much not interested. I shouldn’t even have to make this post but it has happened several times. I have also for some reason had posts reblogged by explicit accounts, leaving the impression that my page is something that it is not.

If you go on my account and all you do is try to do is sollicit me and talk to me in ways that are not at all appropriate or about my content just because I’ve made it clear that I am a girl who is in college, you are discusting and this is the reason why so many girls my age are not comfortable around men, whether it is online or in person.

If you are reading this and you are considering hitting send, leave right now. If you do hit send, you will be blocked.

Thank you for your time. XX
