I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.
#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her#and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura#he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life#deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was#he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means.#when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial.#the best he can do at least#he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times.#often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship#but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost.#22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way#Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless#he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it#she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes.#he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone#he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home.#can’t bare to see another shell of a home#he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes#Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon#but promises feel costly these days#he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura#someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here#his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long.#Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place.#clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them#but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here#he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention#he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves.#he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods#he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

#boycritter et al#STOP BRINGING IT UP WHEN YOU NEED AN EXAMPLE OF A BAD THING.#ITS NOT EVEN RELEVANT#fucking. talking about heroes/villains and how the pov of the narrator influences how you view the story.#bc everyone sees a situation differently. basic ass shit this is a college level english class but whatever.#'yeah like nazi germany thought they were in the right' YEAH WE ALL FUCKING KNOW. WE KNOW THEY THOUGHT THAT.#can we all stop rehashing basic fucking facts about the nazis and talk about something that is a) relevant to this class#b) not super upsetting to hear about constantly as a jewish person#idk im just. im TIRED of hearing about it and im tired of it being tossed around in casual conversation#and im tired of it being treated as some easy thing to point to when you need an example of something horrific#because a lot of people in my high school in indiana have not been impacted by it!!!#but i have!! it happened less than a century ago to my great grandparents and its fucked up that you seem to forget#thats even a possibility#idk. ive just also been really pissed off about everything ever#bc my period is soon and im stressed about finals and seeing family#and this feels like the one thing ive gotten pissed about that actually feels justified to get upset by

i really think that everyone should learn their region's sign language not only because it's a way to communicate with Deaf/hoh people and be a little more inclusive in your everyday life but also because frankly it's just cool and useful in a ton of situations. even if you just know a little, it can really come in clutch. cannot tell you how many times my wife and i or my mom and i have used it to either 1) talk shit or 2) talk in a quiet area like a library or theater
#I really only know enough ASL to get me in trouble#im conversational if i say 'please slow down im sorry im hearing and stupid'#i oughta take another asl class i only took two semesters years ago#my grammar sucks shit! I end up doing a lot of like. pidgin sign english#I incorporate asl grammar as best as i know how but. Unfortunately i know enough to know i suck#I ought to study some more on my own even if I can't take a class! that would be fun#hmmm !!!!

I don’t get why people feel like the Duolingo owl is threatening, if I ever feel like he is I just get mad at him. I could fight an owl. I don’t know if I’d win, but I don’t think I’d lose (two things that can apparently coexist). I think I’d survive at least and that’s not really winning but also not losing.
You wanna be so threatening? Da bør du drepe meg!
#emma posts#I used google translate for help because they haven’t taught me the phrase ‘kill me’ yet#taught me the word for beer øle but not the more important words like ‘kill’#as far as I can tell everything else in that sentence checks out so I figured the translation was good enough#not sure if it’s in the right order or if you use better that way in Norwegian. but good enough for a tumblr flop post#Emma’s adventures in using Duolingo#I should honestly use that as a tag for it#I post enough venting about that app#until I find out if I’m dyslexic for sure and there’s a way to help that with other languages. I’m not going to pay for Babbel yet#Babbel has Icelandic lessons too I think and that is my final boss tbh#I’ve been going from easiest for English speakers to hardest as my plan#and it turns out that I forgot how much some of my issues affect learning new languages#last time I learned another language it was Spanish and I’m not fluent but I’ve had classes and been around it for so long#that i kinda forgot what it’s like to start from scratch#I didn’t start trying to learn Norwegian until I was 26#or was it my 27th birthday? I could check my streak#I was like ‘psh. it will be harder with my disabilities. but I should be able to read. my top priority with this language’#and then I realized I had been somehow adapting to the other two languages since childhood and forgot how much I had to work around#I mean. I knew I was worse at language arts in school than I was in literature and writing. but still#I also already knew I was worse at making new sentences in other languages than I was figuring out ones that someone else made#but I thought that was just because I hadn’t used Spanish much for several years now#every time I try to re-learn Spanish it just ends up with me being able to figure out what someone said to me but not how to answer#if i brushed up on it again i could probably have a conversation with someone who understood English but better spoke Spanish#someone with the same problem as me but reversed language wise#please don’t take this as me saying I could currently have an entire conversation with someone speaking Spanish#I’m better than someone who never learned it and didn’t encounter it’s use a lot. but I really don’t think I could have a real conversation#not at the moment at least#I have been meaning to brush up on Spanish again too. there are at least real classes in my area for it and not just an app#the last time there were Norwegian classes around here my dad was in college and old people still spoke it#no one around here speaks it anymore

i really have loved being in japan in general so far but most of my students are so fucking mean to me 😭😭 like they’re just so so sooo mean they parrot and mock me when i call someone’s name and laugh when i talk in general and it’s like how am i supposed to curry their favor or gain their respect when they are openly making fun of me from the second i walk into their classroom for the first time💀
#i think part of it is that 90% of the students are boys and they’re all super jocks so they don’t care abt english at all#also a lot of them are second semester seniors. and i was in their shoes not that long ago#which i understand. but like i wish they would at least be somewhat decent to me😭#like i wld fully be willing to say okay fuck the worksheet fuck the grammar let’s just shoot the shit. but none of them want to speak to me#also the ones who know i know japanese just speak japanese to me so i just stare at them blankly#at least in the us there were limits to the shit we cld say abt teachers in class because everyone was speaking english#to be fair i really struggle w conversational jpn & slang so most of the time i rlly don’t get the nuances#of what they’re saying to each other. and i can’t respond well at all. but i get the gist#its hard bc i’m new and also paired with new teachers for some classes so they don’t respect any ‘authority figure’ in the room#but like come on. don’t bully me.#i think part of the problem is there’s actually literally no consequences for anything. no detention or suspension or calls to parents#or getting benched for sports matches. which i think would actually get them to care#cuz there are things that technically i could try to do but there’s no way to actually enforce anything#idk. thinking out loud. the classes that have been decent & engaged have been super fun for me and energizing#but the others are rlly tough like so tough.#okay sorry i know no one cares

I mentioned I am putting together new readings lists and in the order of what I've been most questioned about:.
readings I've found helpful in making sense of my childhood adverse experiences, particularly psychology theories on trauma and feminist texts about sexual violence
introductory pieces to marxism and economic/class warfare analysis
south/latin american feminists, particularly with decolonial and antiblacknesss lines
less Introductory Social Reproduction Theory works I particularly enjoy
I might expand the first into including some literary works as well. as always I want to give a little of my own commentary and that takes me even longer than making sense of my digital and physical files. but if anyone has their own suggestions I would love to hear them.
besides spanish portuguese and english I read french and my girlfriend Italian
#I need to learn other languages this is embarrassing#my girlfriend is studying mandarin and my FATHER can improv enough arabic in verbal conversations but here I am#that woman is so brave for taking that mandarin class she invited me and I can't really say I don't have the time#but it goes until almost midnight in english I had to say thanks but no thanks#can recognise a few kanjis my japanese ex taught me tho useful to make sense of decoration in restaurants lol#.txt

The Role of Intonation in Language Learning and Fluency
Intonation is the rise and fall of our voice when we speak. It’s what we say, but how we say it. Intonation makes speech ordinary and conveys emotion, explains some things, and emphasizes huge central points of interest. For any second language learner, the dominant expression is serious because it sounds recognizable and is clearly visible. This article explores why participation in language use is so developed and how it contributes to understanding. You can join online spoken English course or spoken English live classes. What is intonation? The voice remembers the changes in intonation, stress and rhythm of our speech. It looks like a note passed in the language. Different vernacular languages have different articulation patterns that can change the meaning of sentences and words.
Why is intonation important? Intonation plays a number of important roles in communication: Delivery Meaning: Voice can change the meaning of a sentence regardless of whether the words are very similar. For example, saying “It goes down” with a rising voice at the end becomes a question, while saying it with a falling voice becomes a statement. Communicating Emotion: The way we change our intonation can show how we feel. A change in level can sound tired or disinterested, while a change in intonation can convey energy or engagement. Showing Attitude: Inflection can reveal our way of thinking about what we are talking about or who we are talking to. It can show respect, mockery, uncertainty or certainty. Information ordering: For example, in English we often use falling intonation at the end of a sentence to indicate that we have finished our thoughts, and rising intonation to indicate that we have not yet spoken. Social connection: Using the right inflection patterns will help you sound more normal and make native speakers more open to talking to you. You can join beginner’s English-speaking course.
Sound in language learning When learning another dialect, getting the sound right can be essentially as important as using the right words or punctuation. Here’s why: Better comprehension: When you understand the intonation patterns of a language, you are better equipped to find the full meaning of what others are saying. A clearer match: Using the correct capitalization will help you present yourself more clearly and avoid misunderstandings. Extended familiarity: High intonation makes your conversation more normal and familiar, regardless of whether you make any syntax errors. Improved listening skills: Focusing on intonation will help you better understand native speakers, especially when they speak quickly. Social Awareness: flexible plans are deeply rooted in the culture. Studying them can give your insight into the way of thinking and correspondence style of native speakers. Challenges of learning intonation Learning the intonation of another dialect can be uncertain due to several factors:
Local language block: we often unconsciously use inflection give examples of our most memorable language until the new dialect to be learned. Lack of Awareness: Many language learners do not understand the importance of inflection and focus only on how individual sounds are pronounced. Limited Openness: If you’re not constantly paying attention to native speakers, it can be difficult to pick up on the common intonation patterns of the language. Complexity: Case examples can be very complex and vary depending on the specific situation they are trying to control. Limited Practice: Traditional language learning strategies often do not provide sufficient opportunities to practice inflection. You can join English speaking online course.
Step-by-step instructions for improving your inflection Fortunately, with practice and attention, you can greatly improve your vocal ability. Here are some methods: Effective listening: Carefully consider how native speakers use intonation. Try to copy their words, regardless of the tone of their speech. Use audio resources: look out for online recordings in your native language, book recordings or public broadcasts. Focus on how speakers use intonation to convey importance and emotion. Practice with recordings: Watch recordings in your target language with subtitles. It allows you to associate written words with spoken intonation. Record yourself: Record yourself speaking and compare it with local speakers. This can help you identify areas where your intonation is different. Work with a teacher: a language coach can critique your intonation and help you practice with clear examples. Use flexible latches: When recording new expressions, use latches to mark rising (↗) or falling (↘) intonation. This visual cue will help you remember the correct example. Practice the question sound: In many dialects, questions have an unmistakable intonation form. Make requests with the correct intonation rise or fall. Focused stress: Focus on which words or syllables in a sentence are stressed, as this often affects the sound. Use music: Playing melodies in an objective language can help you pick up on its mood and sound samples. Overestimate from scratch: Try to misrepresent the intonation design during practice. This can help you be more aware of your intonation development.
Intonation examples in different dialects While every language has its own new intonation patterns, here are some common patterns in some notable dialects: English:
Questions often end in a rising tone Explanations usually end in a falling tone The head of the sentence often engages in higher intonation Spanish: True /no questions regularly end in a rising tone to Explanations and data questions are mostly in falling intonation The range of intonation is often wider than in English, adding emotional ups and downs Mandarin: Because individual mocking language with words has its own tone design The overall tone of the sentence is usually less varied than in English Most often, questions with a molecule appear at the end of a sentence, not instead of a rising case French: In conjugation, there is usually a rise at the end of each sentence a bundle of ideas within a sentence The last syllable of a sentence is often stressed and lengthened n Japan: The frame of intonation complement affects the inflection of individual words General sentence the sound is a little different from English: Questions are often separated by a molecule to prevent rising inflection Remember that these are general examples and there can be many exceptions and variations based on the specific environment and province contrasts. The effect of intonation on familiarity Dominant intonation can significantly affect the overall familiarity of a language. Here’s how you can do it.
Flow Regularly: High inflection helps the conversation flow more naturally, making you sound like a native speaker. Why Emphasis Matters Communicating Emotions and Perspectives: Affective aids express how we feel. For example, a rising voice may indicate shock or a request, while a falling expression may indicate a statement or assertion. The way we say something can indicate that we are admitting that we are unhappy, hopeless, angry or confused. You can join advanced English grammar course. I understood when I spoke, and it’s exciting: Voice helps us emphasize critical words or parts of sentences. This makes our speech even clearer and more attractive to concentrate on. Without proper intonation, speech can sound high-Intonation and difficult to follow. Monitor conversations: Voice helps us know when we have a chance to speak in a conversation. It lets you know when someone has finished speaking or has more to say. Challenges for Language Learners Learning sounds can be overwhelming for language minors. Here are some common pitfalls: Different models: Each language has its own performance plans. Students have to exchange neighboring language guides for a new language, which can be confusing. Lack of reception: Without adequate reception with nearby speakers, it is difficult to learn the normal tense of a language. Focusing on the recorded speech is usually not enough, because the voice largely depends on the setting and feeling. Subtle differences: Small changes in sound can change the meaning of a sentence. For example, in English “You’re going.” (setting) vs. “Are you going?” (question) are usually different in intonation. You can join English communication course or online English communication classes. Teaching and Learning Intonation Listening Exercises: Focusing on speakers is one of the most wonderful ways to learn intonation. It can combine chats, computer accounts, movies and songs. It is important to find out how their voice rises and falls. Pantomime: Reflection of nearby speakers helps elementary students practice intonation. This should be conceivable through repeating sentences, shadowing (speaking close to the recording), and copying intonation and rhythm. Recording and Playback: Recording a speech and then playing it back can help elementary students identify areas where their intonation differs from nearby speakers. Natural exercises: Exercises that think about different intonation plans, such as practicing questions and commands or lively versus desperate speech, can help students improve intonation. You can join English intermediate course. Using visual aids: Visual aids such as intonation shape charts (diagrams that show changes in intonation over a very long time) can help students see the sound patterns they need to produce. The Meaning of Cohesion The Meaning of Cohesion is not just speaking quickly or knowing many words; it refers to a typical appearance. Sound is expected to play an important role in this. Natural speakers use the right solid voice to reliably convey meaning, emotion, and steer the flow of a conversation. Without exceptional intonation, even a person with a huge tongue can sound mechanical or misjudged. Intonation is an important part of language learning and communication. It conveys emotion, understands meaning and dominates conversations. For elementary students of the language, superior intonation can be a struggle, but it is paramount to achieving commonality. Through listening exercises, pantomime, recording, natural exercises and visual aids, younger students can separate their input from the sound more typical of the new language. Understanding the sound examples of different vernaculars actually helps to know how they are used. Finally, an extraordinary voice makes correspondence more understandable, truly charming and sensible. You can join English conversation classes or online English conversation classes.

My problem with being a teacher is that when you are a college student, you can skip the allowed amount of classes. As a college teacher, you can't do the same. You can't just say that my mental health is kinda fucked up, can't feel anything except for the existential dread and the shimmering anxiety in my stomach that tries to remind me about the deadlines, so I'm not going to school tomorrow because I wanna just stay in bed and pretend I'm not the failure I think I am. At least with my other work I can just do the bare minimum. With teaching, on the other hand...
#at least tomorrow it's a seminar so they will work on their projects#and i guess i can prepare some videos for my class on thursday as a conversation starter#because even on my good days i hate teaching master students in english because i feel so fucking inadequate#I won't be able to function on a bad day#thank fuck for the fall break#i can't wait for the next week
