#language trouble

i'm watching the show dix pour cent instead of studying and i still confused bc they all address each other by their first names, but they still say "vous" instead of "tu"

Ooh i was so close to an existential crisis today because I started the dream thieves and I came to that part where they say there's no word for blue in ancient Greek and I was like 'whaaat no how is that possible?' And thought about it the whole time till we came back home oh god But don't worry I did some research and there are words that CAN mean blue there's just no word meaning only blue my life is ok again

i’m definitely going crazy. i was taking a german test today where i had to translate a few phrases about asking for directions. so of course my brain had to translate all of them to english and then to russian. (and i speak czech. what the fuck?) it didn’t matter that i needed it in german, my mind couldn’t come up with a single german word. so of course i failed it, fuck you very much my dear brain

Every german fanfiction ever!

Me reading german fanfiction with the rate P18+ :

Hmm yes.... nice...uh... “Seine Augen funkelten wie tausend Sterne als sich ihre vollen Lippen sanft berührten und explosionen der Lust durch ihre Körper schossen.“ ...oh Hell GOD NO NO NO. Where is the smut you promised you fucking metaphor using liar!???! When it comes to the interesting stuff my language sucks...

my mornings been pretty great so i want to share :D

im finally taking chinese lessons, and this was my first, so it was 2 hours of tones and ‘no its bù not bü or bú’ ;_; but it was good and shes really nice! also my english goes to absolute shit when talking with non-native english speakers :X

then my friend showed me some nice foreign import stores!! so i finally have some western spices and lemon juice and other things for cooking <3 <3 had a good lunch and lots of fun just chatting

but yea im going to chinese everyday for a few hours to learn as much as possible before i start work, so prepare for tonal angst. because i keep saying the 2nd instead of 3rd and 4th turns into nontone >.<

When you speak three languages and they speak three languages and you're pretty sure none of them overlap

M-Moj glas je n-ne-y još navikli.

ಯಾವುದೇ ಅನಾನುಕೂಲತೆಗಾಗಿ ಕೃತಜ್ಞತೆಗಳು.

Τα αγγλικά είναι δύσκολο να μάθει κατά καιρούς, ειδικά με την πρόσφατη βλάβη στο σκελετό μου.

খুব কঠিন শব্দ.

త్వరలో నేను సాధారణంగా మాట్లాడే అవకాశం...
