#CleartheList - March
#CleartheList – March
こんにちは, Happy March, although it’s currently snowing here and I find it hard to believe Spring is about to begin. It’s weird to see my daffodils being nice and yellow in front of the snowy landscape outside… Nonetheless, it’s #CleartheList time again! Before I’d jump into my goals for March, I’d like to reflect on what went well and what went not so well in February – maybe it’ll help me to…

Language reading Challenge – February
Hello everyone, This month prompt was to read a book about the history of the region where they speak your target language. I was quite excited about this month as I didn’t learn much about Japanese history in high school and always felt like I should fill up the holes in my knowledge. My book choice was The Heritage of Japanese Civilisation by Albert M. Craig, and it was a good and bad…

#CleartheList – February
こんにちは, This post is kind of special for me because I joined the #Clear The List community exactly a year ago. It’s interesting to look back and wonder how much progress I have made if any at all. Certainly, a lot of things have changed and one thing is certain, I’m more sure about what I want to achieve than I was a year ago. That itself counts as progress right? As I mentioned in my previous…

Language Reading Challenge – January This year I’ve decided to participate in Shannon Kennedy’s Language Reading Challenge. The January prompt…
Why are you learning Hungarian? It’s not a very easy language to learn and it’s not even useful. Hungary isn’t a relevant country, it has a weak economy and small population.
Thats your opinion! I have my reasons. It makes me happy. I love the language, history, music, art and people. And I am expanding my skillset and worldview, opening doors to new cultures, travels, knowledge and friends. I like challenging myself constantly and I’m not put off by it being “difficult”
Also, just because we have a weak economy and small population, it doesn’t mean that our language or culture are not beautiful!

Long time no see
One good thing about my birthday being in January is that I can think of it as a second new year. So let me take the opportunity to share the first post of the year a couple of days after it (because things were complicated on my birthday… way too complicated) I’d like to talk about what happened in the past 3 months where I am now and what my goals are for 2018.

#ClearTheList - November
#ClearTheList – November
Hello there, How can it be already November? It feels like 1st October was just yesterday! Surely, it was a busy month, just as I expected. Starting my final year came with the beautiful task of setting up my own study for my dissertation. It was a lot of work but it’s finally done (in fact I submitted my ethics approval form this morning), and I cannot wait to test people and see what I can find…

「十月五日• 4/100」 こんにちは~、 🇯🇵 私は外で散歩するのが大好きです。今日の天気はとてもきれいです。 Finally started a new chapter in Genki, so I don't feel so behind anymore!
Japanese Vocabularies: Talking about human body
Let’s talk about human body in Japanese!
First, we’ll talk about head (頭 atama). Japanese word for head doesn’t include the face. That is why this word is used often in figurative speech such as 頭が良い (atama ga yoi) which means “smart” or literally “head is good” and 頭が良い (atama ga warui) which means “stupid” or literally “head is bad”. Face in Japanese is 顔 (kao). Notice that the right part is similar to 頭 (atama). Let’s start with the basic of face. Eye is 目 (me), mouth is 口 (kuchi), tongue is 舌 (shita), tooth is 歯 (ha), ear is 耳 (mimi) and the nose is 鼻 (hana). Note that flower is also 花 (hana). They both have different kanji. Another part of 顔 (kao) are まゆ毛 (mayuge: eyebrow), まつ毛 (matsuge: eyelash), くちびる (kuchibiru: lips) ほお (hoo: cheek), あご (ago: chin) and ひたい (hitai: forehead).
Our hand is 手 (te) and finger is (指 yubi). Talking about 指 (yubi), 親指 (oya yubi) is the thumb and literally translated as parent finger. 人差し指 (hitosashi yubi) is index finger and the literal meaning is a finger to point at people. 中指 (naka yubi) literally means center finger. Ring finger is 薬指 (kusuri yubi) which translated as drug finger. In the old days, people use that finger to take their powder drugs since they though it was the cleanest of all. And 小指 (koyubi) literally means small finger. お腹 (onaka) means stomach. When someone is hungry, they said お腹が空いた (onaka ga suita) which literally means that “one’s stomach is empty”. When someone is full, they said お腹がいっぱい (onaka ga ippai) which literally means that “one’s stomach is full”. 足 (ashi) is foot and the toe is 足の指 (ashi no yubi). Note that in Japanese, 足 (ashi) cover for both leg and foot. So if someone said 足が痛い (ashi ga itai), they might mean that their foot or leg is hurt or it also could be both of them. When required, they do have a more distinct word for heel, knee, and other parts though. And that’s all for today! Whew, what a lot of words. And this is not even the complete list! It’s okay if you take it easy and memorize just one part at a time.
Happy learning °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

🇯🇵 今朝、あたらしい文法を実行しています。 . This morning was quite productive! 嬉しいですよ!However, I realised that I'll have to practice more because some words and simple (very simple) grammar structures just don't get stuck in my mind. This is why I'm trying to join the #languagediarychallenge and the #iglc challenge this month. . #japanese #genki #studygram #languagepractice #joyoflanguages #ipreview @preview.app
one of the things i love about learning a language is how it really makes you question the original intention of your words. i remember ages ago looking up “i’ll still love you” in french to double check and it turns out it’s"je t'aimerai encore" if the love has decreased and might not last, but “je t'aimerai toujours” if you mean you’ll love them forever. and i was just staring at my wall because i genuinely didn’t know which i meant and it all got very emotional. all because french makes a distinction that english doesn’t.
Ok, I thought about it (sorry, I have trouble letting go, and also, this kept popping up on my dash because all langblrs exist in one beautiful infinite loop), and while I would love to believe that my native tongue is the most poetic/beautiful/romantic language and functions on a higher, more ethereal plane than any other…
I’d say:
“Je t’aimerai encore” is “I will still love you”
“Je t’aimerai toujours” is “I will always love you”
Bonus:
“Je t’aimerais encore” is “I would still love you”
@leplusgrandlivredumonde hey don’t worry about it, I’ve never let go of anything in my life!!
i totally agree with your french, the point of the post is that in english “i’ll still love you” can have two meanings depending (you love them forever, OR the love has remained but kind of marred). and as i had a specific person in mind while translating it to french, i was struggling to work out which definition was accurate. aaannnd I’m a weepy teenage girl so obviously had to blog about it.
basically, in translating the phrase i had to really question my intention behind the words, which i wouldn’t have done just writing in my native language. i hope that makes sense? i totally get the confusion, this post is just my adventures on wordreference and the emotional disaster that ensued

I hope you feel less weepy really soon!
