I have French, German, and Ukrainian courses on duolingo why is my language learning literally just the languages referenced in the uranium teen scream trilogy™️

*twirling my hair shyly* A bit random but! I was wondering what headcanons y’all might have about the kiddads (or any characters tbh I’m just kiddad-biased) and second (or third) languages!

The power of having a Hispanic family that have impossibly high standards is being able to manage multiple personalities/identities like a pro. Going to my Grandma's house? Boom, I'm suddenly a Catholic girl that loves dresses and sewing. Dad's house? I'm a carefree and forgetful girl. Mom's house? I'm a straight-A student, with perfect attendance that knows 5 languages and can draw. Honestly sometimes I forget how I really am until I go on social media or go with my friends.

So..... Dentist appointment tomorrow at 12:30...

People have been telling me horror stories since last week.

CW/TW for dentist trauma under the cut

My sister, apparently, screamed the whole time because mom forgot to schedule with an anesthesiologist so they only had laughing gas.

Mom was sick to the point where they had to go back and get a shot.

My grandma (mom's mom) wasn't allowed to go under or get laughing gas because she's in her 80s (not a wisdom teeth appointment)

My grandma (dad's mom) was also sick, but had my aunt with her to calm her down.

Mom's aunt's friend (or sister? someone) had the root still growing, so they had to do an emergency procedure or something.

Anyway.

I'm not allowed to eat for up to 8 hours before the appointment. Just to be safe, I was told 12 hours before. So, as soon as it hits 00:30, I can't eat anything. When it hits 04:30, I can't drink anything. If I do, then they'll call off the whole appointment.

Sigh...

I feel like I've just eaten my least meal on Death Roe...

i need to practice my japanese sooo bad but it’s sooo hard when i’m not in a class for it yet

[ntwhlvndthnks]

didn't know it was syld and was wondering why a moot woke up speaking french all of a sudden

[poughkeepsies]

my brain is. such. an interesting and Useless amalgamation of languages. truly astounding

[becoach-a]

i do love beard's tendency to learn. like. he truly loves taking in new information, and he loves teaching himself new things. a walking encyclopedia. if he doesn't understand something? he researches it. he takes the time to look it up, read about it, etc. beard's knowledge of things is very vast, and it's anyone's guess as to what beard might know. whether it's about fungi, the history of baseball, biology of trees, the dutch language, several pop culture related things, etc . . . it's a good guess that beard'll know something.

The most unexpected part of finishing MASH has been regaining my ability to study religion

Existing is cool. We all exist in some capacity.

I hope you do well in the seal of biliteracy test! I personally have another few years before I need to take it, and that will be in French most likely.

Hopefully if I do write a fanfic you will just end up finding it in the wild. Not likely but it could happen

Anyway, I hope that you start to feel more human later.

From⚙️

Existing is pretty cool! And thank you. I have no clue what my scoring is gonna be on that one, because I know my speaking section was...subpar at best, but maybe the other 3 sections were good enough to offset that? Who knows!

At least you know that it's a possibility! I didn't even know the seal or the test was a thing until like a month ago when I got an email like "hey quil sign up to take this test you took enough foreign language credits for it" like...you mean the courses I took...over a year ago??

just because I have an associated in spanish doesn't mean I know what I'm doing

And even if its unlikely for me to find your fic in the wild, I can still hope! I mean, i'll never know whether or not it was yours, but still! But yeah unlikely. I don't read a lot of fanfic, actually. Like 95% of the time I read a fic it's to support a mutual who wrote it, not because I particularly felt like reading fics. Ironic considering I'm a fic writer, but true.

Thank you for the well wishes though! I'm not particularly concerned with feeling human, but I understand and appreciate the sentiment, and I wish the same for you!

Oi. Just an aside thought I find myself pulling to the fore again.

Is just kinda wishing I had the cognitive space to really learn another language. (In terms of available mental energy for it and also having some formalized courses on it. I generally feel I learn better in a structured way like that.)

The big three on the bucket list (not necessarily in order):

Spanish - just, it's extremely practical, too, given just how much USAmericans speak it. (Obviously in just the immediate sense, but also. I do love learning abt dialects in any language - Spanish very much inclusive. Like It's neat even just getting whiffs of differences between different Spanish-speaking countries. Even tho I have a practically non-functional amount of fluency.)

American Sign Language - also from a practical angle. But it's also intuitively and structurally extremely fascinating. (I've taken an intro class in college an eternity ago - and I just remember some Deaf culture history pts + some syntax and spatial relations in signing. Like - shit like relating time/tense is just really neat.)

Korean - to maybe, maybe rekindle what little connection I still have to my mom's side of the family and her culture. I just… yeah. (Cue some feelings of grief and missed opportunities in this one.)

(All my linguistics knowledge is from a v broad strokes level.)
