this is one of the reasons it’s so hard to translate on the fly 😭 monoglots just don’t understand and think you’re bad at the source language 😟

[theanishimori]

THIS! Especially between Japanese & English, I have to wait until I know what the verb is going to be in Japanese – and of course it comes at the VERY END – before I can translate the bulk of the sentence into English! 

In fact when translating documents, either JA>EN or EN>JA, find the subject (or fill it in if it’s implied), then go to the end of the sentence and work your way backward. The only exception is adjectives, which come before the word they modify in both languages. Yes, prepositional phrases are backwards too! 

[nyahongo]

This is SO interesting - and also incredibly motivating! See how complex Japanese is compared to English? See how Japanese sentences are completely different than their English counterparts? If you’re studying Japanese and English is your native tongue or even your second language, you’re studying a challenging language that’s probably the total opposite of everything you’ve known and learned. Despite that, you’re still studying it and learning how to produce new grammar, new vocabulary, and new sentence patterns that would have otherwise been completely unintuitive and unfamiliar had you not decided to study it.

If you’re feeling discouraged about your progress in Japanese, look at this chart and remember that it’s okay to not have things “click” right away. It’s okay to say “dang this is hard” (because it is!) but even more important to say “I don’t get it right now” rather than “I’ll never get this.” Give your brain a bit of slack and be patient with yourself. Your brain needs to form new neural pathways for Japanese that your mother tongue has had for years and years. When that “aha!” moment comes - and it will - take the time to appreciate how far you’ve come in your understanding! What you now get used to be something unknown to you.

You’re taking the time to acquire a new skill, and every new thing you learn brings you closer to your goals. Learning a new language is certainly infuriating sometimes, but all your hard work will pay off when you can understand and communicate with native speakers. After all, aren’t we learning a new language to be able to communicate?

Every little acorn of new information you learn will be something you can carry as you move forward, one step at a time. 😊💮

Basically, poloyglots are doing this in their head constantly. And it is endlessly amazing. More so when they try to write fiction or prose in a second language. Shits hard and it takes ages to get native fluency and everyone that tries should be immensely proud.

Once my boyfriend told me: "You're not a burden. A burden is something you're forced to carry against your will. I freely choose to be a part of your life and that means you aren't a burden to me." I'm passing it on in case some of you need to be reminded of that.

ello tumblr, long time no see

i usually come here to reblog and like fandom shit, and i rarely post my own posts

when i do, it’s usually because i have something on my mind that i don’t really wanna share with my other closest friends

and nobody knows me irl here (except for 1, hi kai hehe) and i don’t really have mutuals either so i’ll take this as a safe space

i’ve been thinking a lot about my non-existent love life, like damn i’m almost 20 and i’ve never been on a single date. i’m honestly fine with it, but of course can’t help but feel i have missed out on my teenage years, i never had the “puppy/teenage love” i’ve grown up watching on tv and anticipating and never will. instead, i have been lonely and feeling as if i’m not wanted by anybody.

but anyway, more importantly, i’ve been thinking about the people i’ve liked. honestly i dare say i haven’t truly liked anyone but i’ve definitely had infatuations. i’ve realised that i have a distinct type!

- good hair

- does music

and most importantly,

- a leader

hot damn do i fall for leaders. and i realised that this is also link to my love and admiration for a certain type of person,

a conductor

over the past 3 years, i’ve realised how much i love conductors. i admire their work, their art. every conductor has a different style, and it’s so freaking cool to see. i love how passionate they are for music, and how they feel it and extract its essence from its roots.

i can never take my eyes off them, even student conductors. in fact i have even more appreciation for student conductors.

in ej choir, i admired my student conductors so much, to the point i even liked one of them lmao - my only (and first?) real crush (though again arguable cuz i would say i nvr liked anyone for real). although they didn’t do much actual conducting, they had leadership, and i admired that. i was glad to have been close to them

now in nuschoir, i would say things have been amplified tenfold. i admire the hell out of my student conductors. they’re fucking amazing. i really want to get to know them better but sadly cuz they’re my seniors and i’m super shy, that’s not going to happen. their dedication, their flow, the way they command the choir, it all makes me weak. i’m so proud of them and i’m honoured to have been led in a team by them. i wish i could be just like them. i want them

i love conductors (pls have good hair) [can you love me too?]

[gently-folded-paper-cranes]

how beautiful the world is. how lucky we are to exist at a time where there are stars in the sky, where the moon shines so bright every night. a faithful companion, the moon. 

we live at the same time as waterfalls, rainbows, rain. i love the smell of grass after it rains. petrichor, was it? how cooling, when stepped on, is morning dew in fields. i love the sky and its moods, the smiling bright blue on a sunny day, the playful winds tousling my hair, and yes, even the angry, deep gray clouds, the rumble of thunder. we are so lucky.

i am especially lucky, to be alive at the same time that my friends and family are. what a coincidence! these people, these once-strangers, mean the absolute world to me? these are the people who i choose to love and choose to love me.

it’s baffling to me, how the universe has breathed life into me, from the dust of stars to the warm, solid earth.
