Charles, Kerls & churls

English has the word churl, meaning 'rude, ill-bred, boorish person'. This word is not only related to German Kerl and Dutch kerel ('guy; dude') but also to the name Charles. Carolus, the Latin ancestor of Charles, was borrowed from a Germanic word meaning 'freeman', a variant of which became English churl. Click the graphic for more.

learning another language is always beautiful, no matter how long it takes. like, what do you mean you are crying because you had to read a sentence twice to get it, when at the beginning you had to do it five times? kicking yourself because you had to listen to an audio at .75x to understand it fully, when two months ago you could barely understand one or two words, even at your second try? getting mad because you had to research how to spell a word, when a few days back you didn't even know how to pronounce it? hell, that's amazing. keep going. you'll get there.

He told me I should take it in, listen to every word he's speaking, the wires getting older, I can hear the way they're creaking as they're holding him, well I can see it in his jaw, that all he ever wanted was a job, he tells me to be raw, admits to every little flaw that never let him sit upon the top, won't tell me to stop, thinks that I should be a little cautious, but I can tell the wires pulled
