Doctor Who: The Kaleidoscope: Circuit Breaker

When memories lie, the truth can be fatal. In the aftermath of an improbable mission, the Fugitive Doctor and Martha realise that something is interfering with their minds. Something that doesn’t want to be found. Their investigation leads to a curious artefact in the British Museum: an apparently medieval toy known as the Kaleidoscope. But the object refuses to stay in one place, one time – or one identity. And when the Doctor is repeatedly mistaken for someone she’s never met, fragments of unfamiliar memories begin to surface. Across the Earth, a hidden pattern emerges; evidence of a secret that someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal. As ancient enemies close in and innocent lives are put at risk, the Doctor learns the hard way that some truths were buried for a reason… A key instalment of the Doctor Who transmedia event Circuit Breaker, this novel is written by the Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin – and also features Martha Jones (as played by Freema Agyeman) together with the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, or UNIT.

FUGITIVE DOCTOR'S SONIC SCREWDRIVER

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

disagreeing with people is a skill and voicing your disagreement and explaining your perspective in a way that respects the other person's point of view is also a skill that i wish more people would put effort into learning

Why is it so much easier to understand something being said in the language youre learning then to figure out how to say something in that language

How do I put this? You know how grammar feels like an instinct in your native language rather than a logic puzzle? Well it doesn’t feel like that for babies. Babies don’t have that instinct yet. Babies understand a lot before they start talking. They’re listening to people talking all the time before they even try to say one word.

It’s just like part of the natural process of your brain installing new language hardware. I’ve switched from trying to produce full sentences in a language from day one to like making sentences my brain produces naturally in the language and I’ve found that the first things I end up saying are one or two word phrases like a baby. Eventually I move on to slightly longer sentences just because it feels natural to do that and saying things that are (mostly) grammatically correct just feels like what ought to happen instead of a puzzle. Letting go of the idea that you ought to be speaking in articulate full grown up sentences when you’re not ready for it is pretty freeing tbh.

Producing in a language is a lot easier when you have less pressure as well. Small children have no concept of social norms yet so they just spit out what they can to try to communicate. Adults have an extra layer of social embarrassment holding them back.

Remember that post where someone’s toddler didn’t know the word for trophy so they came up with the phrase “Lego winner”? Adults learning another language will probably end up saying stuff like Lego winner too but the difference is that when people laugh at adults they retreat into a shell in fear and stop talking. That adds an extra layer of difficulty to speaking.

If you can somehow create an environment for yourself where you’re allowed to say baby phrases you feel like saying without stress I think speaking becomes a lot less stressful. That might be with a trusted friend or it might just be babbling to yourself in your room trying out different noises you hear on tv. Either way just stop expecting yourself to easily say full sentences the way you do in your native language. Progress in language learning isn’t linear and it rarely looks how people think it should.
