Learning a new language is all fun and games until you’re face to face with a native speaker.

I grew up hating the language I spoke, my parents spoke, and my relatives spoke. I wished I didn’t speak that way. I wished I wasn’t born in that place so my native tongue wouldn’t be what it was. No one in the TV spoke the way we spoke. Never. Books never had anything written in my language except for that one sentence in the grammar book where they classified our language as a dialect. My language was undesired and obnoxious. I began to replace everyday words with the prestige language because I wanted to be like the people on the TV- educated and better cultured. When I went to my cousin’s house in the village, I never used the words in my native tongue. I felt proud. I was better.
Eighteen years. I lived eighteen years hating the way I speak until I found out my native tongue will soon be lost in the pages of history. I soon learned to love my identity and my language. But it was too late, I guess. Now it’s 1 am in the morning and I’m over here crying with a word document open before me. I don’t know the words in my language. I had to listen to almost 20 songs until I found out how to say “star” and “game” in my native language that I should have known better than anything else.
I grew up hating myself because the media acted like I didn’t exist or the few times they did acknowledge my existence, they presented me in such a way to make me feel as though I shouldn’t be proud of my identity. That it’s not cool to be me. Don’t ever tell me the monolingual domination in media is not a big deal. It is. It erases history. It suppresses diversity. It kills people’s sense of identity and pride.
a very slurry guide to why french is Like That, Actually
SO
yall remember that post that went like…… “why is french… Like That”?
well, time for An Education from ur local french literature student
SO, BASICALLY, WHAT HAPPENED
first of all, well, it’s like the 9th century and the king is like…… hey what if….. and bear with me on this one but….. what if…….. we wrote………. the things about our country………… in the language……. actual people living in this country….. speak?
and people were like “holy shit youre the king so okay” and then the king was like “i want YOU to write this laws and THINGS in FRENCH!” and the monks were like “aw okay” so they started doing that
EXCEPT
that they had a big fucking problem. what was that problem, you may ask? well, the problem was thaT THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS DIDNT HAVE AN ALPHABET TO WRITE THIS FUCKING EXCUSE OF A LANGUAGE
lemme explain. all they knew was latin and the latin alphabet. bc like knowing latin was the whole thing when u were a monk. also latin was like… the Serious Language. but french doesnt sound like latin like at all. french sounded like some bitch ass demon had bitten their tongue and was trying to order a latte in the middle of an exorcism incantation. and i say “sounded” on purpose bc their pronunciation was wild, man. like ultra wild. like even WORSE than what we have to deal with now. and it had NOTHING to do with motherfucking latin.
so what did the monks do? well, they were like “aw this is a mcfucking embarrassment of a situation, ay” and had a choice. basically, they could invent a whole new mode of transcription for french weird ass sounds… OR they could do their best to try and adapt the latin alphabet to its demonic sprouting.
which is, pretty sadly if you ask me, what they went for.
so they started planning strategies that were complex at shit bc like how tf are you gonna write “cheval” with a fucking LATIN ALPHABET??? so basically they all went with whatever felt best to write in the moment and there were no rules and it was a weird fucking mess of a situation lemme tell you, ive seen the manuscripts, those men went APE SHITT
and like…. some of them never used the same spelling twice. also there were like no accent and punctuation and things that allow you to write like a fucking normal human being so jot that down
so, that was a big fucking mess and they started adding letters e v e r y w h e r e like……….. ok some of them were actually smart like they did their best to add letters that no one pronounced but it made it look like some latin thing. like basically they put up a pink hairband on a fucking DEMON CHILD and went “aaaawww look how CUTE it is, looks like its mommy so much!!!!” and prayed to god it would end up well (spoiler: no. no it didnt. bitch)
so you got things like “veult” for “veut” bc the “l” made it look a bit like the latin “vult” or something. but then as i said some of them went APE SHITT and were like, WOOHOO FREE LETTERS and started adding weird letters to words that had literally no etymological link to that letter. so they were writing “peut” like “peult” just because….. idk they felt like to??
so its Like That in the middle ages and then people started thinking about french as a language and they went like….. MAAAAW THERES A WEIRD FUCKING STRAY WRITING OUTSIDE!!! MAAAAAAAW!!!! IS THAT EVEN A FUCKING LANGUAGE???? BLINK MOTHERFUCKER!! AAAAAAAAAAAA and everyone was losing their shit alright
so like english students started going to college in france and they were like “bitch you live like this??” and the french were like :/// whelp
and like they did their best to like help non-native writing french but it had no rules so it didnt work out well and like….. in the 1500’s some guys were like “okay guys this makes no sense from now on well use a RATIONALIZED WRITING i built MYSELF” and their idea was basically to write french as they spoke it which i know SOUNDS like a good idea but actually AINT
bc first of all there are a shitton of words that have the same pronunciation in french and you need those weird spellings to actually know what the word is there for like….. they wrote like “me” for “mai” and “mais” and “mes” and “met” and basically that was wild
and some of those guys who knew a lot about grammar went like “ooookayyyyy so were removing those letters we dont pronounce buuuuuuuuuut its not alwayyyyyys like thiiiiiiiiis” and like…. right-wing people like the 1550 equivalent of republicans or some shit went like, foaming at the mouth like rabid fucking dogs when they saw “pe” instead of “peult” “oooooohhhhhh but you DIDNT and its not EVEN REALLY RATIONAL” and like they had a ton or arguments and it actually became a kinda linguistic war and all
plus they didnt pronounce the same things everywhere in france so in paris they wrote “otr” for “autre” and in lyon they wrote “aotr” and they were like……… “we got a problem here” bc the whole thing was to get a language that was the same everywhere in the country basically
so u got those reformist guys on the one side and the reactionaries on the other side and honestly, reactionaries’ arguments are so fucking funny they were like…
“okay so some of the letters are useful bc it helps understanding that the word comes from latin” this ones rational alright
“also some mute letters are used to link the words from an identical background together and create semantic links like “sang” (blood) does have a mute “g” bc it links it to “sanguin” (sanguine) and other words like this” alright cool
but THEN you got some weird fucking ideas like
“but actually writing IS the standard bc written things Are More Noble, Actually” which is like……. weird flex but ok
“yes, it makes it harder to learn, but so it repels women and non-educated people who would soil The Language if they could write it” like DUDE are you FUCKING SERIOUS
and finally – their main idea –
“bUt iT loOkS FaNcY” aka #aesthetics and thats basically it
also. the printing press workers were like……… guys are you SURE you want to get us to COMPLETELY CHANGE AND UNLEARN OUR WHOLE JOB LIKE C’MON so it kinda weighed in favor of the reactionaries
also the reactionaries won in the long term
tl;dr so french is Like That because 1. its a demonic language that monks desperately tried to tie back to latin and 2. old white men with bizarre aesthetic tastes hated women and The Poor
thanks for coming to my ted talk my language makes no sense and neither does its history
random things i’ve learnt during this school year
1. nobody is infallible - your parents, teachers, people you look up too - sometimes they can be wrong so don’t be afraid to think critically and disagree with them
2. five minutes of doing something productive is surely better than none
3. but its also not the end of the world when you sometimes don’t do anything productive
4. please, don’t let yourself burn out - r e s t
5. its easy to understimate the power of a good night sleep when youre doing something interesting in the evening. but try to be kind to future yourself and go to sleep earlier, it can make a huge difference
6. remember that in the night your problems can seem so much worse than they really are. dont think about them while in bed but instead say to yourself that you’ll come back to them the next day
7. try to always carry water, wherever you go
8. all of those intimidating, serious, formal, higher in dominance hierarchy people are human and not perfect! they’ve all cried, laughed, stressed, made silly or big mistakes and embarassed themselves at some point
9. you don’t need pretty notes at all to study well. sometimes (or even often) you have very limited time and there are better things to do than to write something slowly and neatly
10. help others at school if you can! be kind and compassionate! all students have different problems but we’re all in this together, let’s try to make each others’ lifes a bit easier and nicer

GERMAN YOUTUBERS MEGAPOST
Hey German Study Buddies,
I think watching German youtube for the past year or so has allowed my German to improve so much. Adopting the German colloquialisms and listening to the fluency and grammar structures in the videos has really helped me so so much! For anybody learning a language: youtube is the best!
Not only is it fun to watch the many funny videos or hauls (yes…I have obsession with clothing hauls), but also you can learn so much by just continually listening to the German. Anyway, it took me a while to find these German youtubers so I thought I would share them in one big master post here:
PS: if you know any other good German youtubers let me know and I’ll add to the list! :) PPS: I put a little heart next to my favourite ones x

Procrastination | How To Stop Hey guys, as you may have seen I recently made a post asking for advice or tips on how to stop procrastinating because I haven’t been doing much work recently and have been falling behind in my classes and didn’t have the motivation to catch up. Well, I received a lot of helpful advice that I’m really thankful for, and I’ve received a couple of messages asking me to share the advice that I received so I’m going to summarise the things that were said to me below. I want to give a big shout out to @octoberswimmer, @littlebigmouse, @ex-nihilo-persona, @icystudying, @notprincesscharming, @chokopan, @study-the-thing, @sweetscientist, and all of the anon messages that I received for all of their advice! Tips and Advice to Stop Procrastinating:
Create a studyblr dedicated to what you’re studying so that you’re motivated more to study in order to create new content for the blog.
Follow more studyblrs so that as you scroll through your dashboard you can see how productive everyone else is being and become inspired to be the same.
Listening to music can help you focus. Spotify has a bunch of already made playlists to help you focus and study, or you could easily create your own playlists on Youtuber, Soundcloud, Spotify, etc.
Dedicate an area at your home specifically for studying or being productive so that when you’re in this area your brain and your body know that you have to be productive while there. Your bed is one of the worst places to study because your brain usually relates your bed to sleeping, so you might become really tired while studying in bed. If you get distracted easily at your own home then try to go to a library or a cafe. Somewhere that you can’t get easily distracted!
Turning off or putting away your phone or anything else that may distract you is a good idea. There’s a lot of extensions for your browser that you can install that can block certain websites for a period of time so that you can’t go on them to procrastinate!
Try to prepare some snacks and something to drink before you start studying so that you don’t wander off halfway through and then not return!
Split a major task that you have to complete into say three or four smaller tasks so that it doesn’t seem as daunting to you and starting it may seem easier.
Do the 50/10 or 30/30 rule. Do work for 50 minutes and then have a 10 minute break, or work for 30 minutes and have a 30 minute break. Find an interval that works best for you and try to keep at it until you’re motivated enough to work for longer periods of time. This helps to break up a seemingly large or scary workload.
Just do ONE thing. Start with answering one question, one sentence of an essay, or doing one page of required reading. If you feel motivated enough to keep going, then keep trying, but if you don’t you can stop there knowing you’ve at least started and that it might not be as hard the next time you start.
Doing it first thing in the morning might make you feel better. The more you put it off throughout the day, the worse and more guilty you may feel.
Be honest with yourself and try to do the important tasks first, especially if there is a deadline coming.
Just do it! Starting is the hardest part and once you’ve actually begun doing what you’ve been putting off, you’ll find that it’s not as difficult or as scary as you were making it out to be.
How to Start Studying at Home In Eight Steps:
Step One: Make your bed and clean your room.
Step Two: Brush your teeth, wash your face, brush your hair, and get changed into something clean and comfortable.
Step Three: Clean and organise your study space.
Step Four: Put the materials that you will need on your study space (your pens + notebooks, textbooks, laptop, headphones, etc.)
Step Five: Prepare some snacks and something to drink.
Step Six: Put on some relaxing music or something that will help you focus.
Step Seven: Open your notebooks, textbooks, and laptop to the documents or pages that you need.
Step Eight: Just do it.
I really liked something that @icystudying said, “Motivation isn’t a bus that will stop for you, it’s a car you need to drive.”
I needed this
“ll faut avoir le cœur brisé, de temps en temps. C’est bon signe. Signe qu’on a essayé.”
