Enjoy your silly summertime temps, most of the US. I'll just be here rocking #longunderwear and a double-layered winter hat 24/7. Haven't bothered with doing anything with my hair for like 6 weeks now ... #winter #hathair

my new favourite way to learn new vocab that is actually useful- taking pictures of my daily scenery on my phone and annotating it in my target languages

[rosedrinkstea-blog]

Sweet! But what app do they use for this?

[polyglott-deactivated20160913]

@rosedrinkstea I used picsart, specifically the “add text” feature!! It was pretty strenuous actually, because it’s hard to get the text sizes right using just fingers, but for me that helps to memorise them. I’m sure there are also alternatives which would make this easier though, if others can suggest?

@septalingual Thanks! Now let’s find out if it handles Chinese characters ...

Omg if I have to sit through ONE more sci-fi TV show sequence of characters explaining parallel universes I’m gonna throw something. I am already watching a sci-fi TV show. I am familiar with the concept. There is like no sci-fi TV show in history that has not used this concept. And it always goes down like this:

Scientists: [mentions parallel universes in a layman-friendly way]

Non-scientist: Huh? Par ... para ... para-what now?

Scientists: [explains it in a super layman-friendly way with metaphors and visuals]

Non-scientist: Uhhhh what? [chuckles self-depreciatingly] I guess that’s why you’re the scientists and not me, huh? ;) ;) ;)

Me: [explodes]
