REQUEST: BILINGUAL MERCS

pyro: when pyro finds out that ASL exists it’s over for you bitches. they are on that shit like white on rice. they dedicate a solid year to learning it, and almost forces the team to learn as well, because it is, without a doubt, the most optimal way to communicate with pyro. everyone is still very slow, and limited in what they know of ASL, but the more pyro practices, the more the team practices, and the faster everyone becomes. at least the people who regularly interact with pyro, on or off the field.

demo: i’m including demo because scottish gaelic is cool, and more people should learn it. it is an endangered language, and more people should learn it to keep it alive. demo would not consider himself fluent in gaelic, but he has knowledge of it and can speak a few sentences. enough to get a bottle of liquor and directions to the bathroom. he’s trying harder to learn it because it bothers him that the language is endangered. he’s too proud of his heritage to let something as easy as language slip away from him.

heavy: heavy’s first english sentence that was grammatically correct was “what are we talking about”. he started learning english in his mid to late twenties. he got a russian to english dictionary and would look at things and recite it to himself. he kept that dictionary on him, in his pocket for another decade. anytime he had a spare moment, he’d pick a page, pick a word, and recite it to himself. it was a slow start, very duolingo-esque; but once he got the hang of english he had already spent so much time just listening to english speakers that learning sentence structure was easier that he thought it would be. by his mid thirties he was fairly fluent, if only a slow talker.

engineer: engie is a native english speaker, but he knows some spanish! one of his favorite restaurants was run by a lovely hispanic couple, and instead of forcing them to learn english he embraced enough of the language to confidently order his food and make very… very small talk. he doesn’t use it often, so he’s losing it as he ages, but he and spy enjoy calling each other “amigo”. he would not fare well being dropped in the middle of mexico, but he can do just fine if he runs into someone who speaks spanish. as he interacts with the bilingual members of the team, he picks up on some words, here and there. mainly the cursing.

medic: medic remembers his first english sentence, technically! he was at university with his mother, and a few of her classmates asked him who he was here with in their english course before class started. he, being five or so, very confidently said “my mother!”. it was very cute, according to him. medic (technically) was brought up in a bilingual household, though german did dominate the house. when his mother studied, he would study it with her. hardly knew or understood most of it, since he was also still actively trying to learn his mother tongue, but he found joy in their connection of learning a language together. he grew up knowing enough english that if he got dropped in the middle of utah he could introduce himself and ask for directions to the airport and the bathroom and some water. he could understand it as a language much better than he could speak it, so when he put his mind to it in grade school it was actually a fairly easy class! german and english sentence structures are… remotely similar, and he took it and ran with it. he was fluent in english before he went to university.

spy: spy canonically has voice lines in english, french, spanish, and italian, and i’m gonna say out of those he’s only truly fluent in french and italian. english was a hard language for him to wrap his head around as he attempted to learn as a teenager, he did not become confident in english until his early thirties. the noises needed were too strong, too gruff, not sophisticated enough like the romantic languages he was used to. and sometimes, very rarely, he will still lose english words. they will be on the tip of his tongue and as he goes to speak it it disappears. it pisses him off so much it’s kinda funny. when he found out engie knew a little bit of spanish it excited him, because he didn’t want to lose the knowledge he had of spanish, so he was gravely disappointed when engie told him he doesn’t know enough to converse.

When I was in school I went to a friend's house to work on a project on a Friday afternoon. At about 6 or 6:30 when the sun was about to set her mom called us over to the livingroom. She lit two candles with my friend and then they proceeded to put the lit candles inside of a little cupboard so no one could see them. Me, a young jewish teenager asked her, my catholic friend, why they did that and she shrugged, said it was a family tradition to bring peace and prosperity, that the women of the family did it every friday evening and then hid the candles. They were very catholic, so I bit my tongue and we went back to her room to study.

This is just one of many, many, crypto jewish traditions that still exist in my hometown of Medellín, Colombia and I want to share a little bit about them with you.

Medellín is the capital city of a region called Antioquia and it is currently the second biggest city in my country. Now the weird thing about my region and my city more specifically is that it is in the middle of fucking nowhere, like we are in a valley in the middle of the andean mountains and it would take over two weeks by river, horse and river, and dunkey and mule to even get here before the invention of cars or trains.

Now Medellín was founded over 400 years ago, and families had been coming to the region for way before then, so that means that for centuries getting to my city from the sea or from the other big cities in the country was incredibly hard. This was by design, because Medellín itself was founded by about 28 families and we know for a fact that alteast half of them were crypto jews hidding from the Spanish Inquisition, and both before and the foundation more and more jewish families arrived to the region.

This is a known fact, the DNA of the people from the region has a lot of sepharadic jewish mixed in there. Early Colombian literature dating up to the 1845 would call the people of my region the Neogranadine Jews or the Colombian Jews. But because they were crypto jews the religion and most of the traditions were lost during the 400 years that have passed, now over 90% of the population is catholic and don't really know about their origins.

But some things stuck. And I want to tell you about them.

On the 7th night of December there is this pre-christmas festival called "El día de las velitas" or the little candle night that started and was unique to Antioquia. It's supposed to commemorate the candles that people had in the streets and the windows on the night Jesus was born and that helped Mary and Joseph to find their way. Do you know how this unique festival is celebrated in my city? People take to the streets to light candles, small colorful candles that they put in wooden planks or directly on the streets, it's the night that people decorate and turn on the christmas lights and it is so important and popular that we have an actual day off on the 8th of december.

Let me show you a few pictures

I don't think I need to explain this one. Even most goyim will know about Hannukah. But it is the weirdest thing when the dates coincide and we are all lighting candles together.

My dad was in the Jewish community board and we needed to rent a place to put our jewish daycare. They found this beautiful old house that had belonged to a family in colonial times but needed a little TLC. We had them remove some wooden floors because they were too old and rotting and found a huge Magen David made out stones in the center of the floor. The house also happened to have two separate kitchens and a mikveh or immersion bath in one of the rooms. These a very traditional things that colonial houses have in my region.

My grandmother converted to Judaism so I have a side from my family that is 100% from here and didn't arrive during the 20th century. I had the pleasure to meet both of my great grandparents from that side though they died when I was young. My grandma tells me that my greatgrandmother used to have one of these immersion baths in her house when she was growing up. Women were supposed to bathe in them after their periods had ended, my catholic great grandmother respected the mikveh traddition more than I ever have.

(I wish I had photos from that specific house but this happened over ten years ago, I'll show you some immersion baths from a different colonial houses that are also in my city)

Now how about we talk about traditional clothes. I'm sure most of you have heard of Ponchos, which are traditional in the Andean region, well the one from Antioquia is a little different and it's always supposed to be worn with a hat. Let's see if you can spot what I mean.

A few years ago Spain decided to grant citizenship to the descendants of the Jewish people that they had exiled in 1492. To get it you had to prove through family trees that your family had been Jewish. My city got the most ammount of passports out of everyone in the world, more than Israel. I could have applied from both my family that came from Egypt in the 20th century (we still have the keys to our house in Spain) or through my catholic side, as both of my grandmother's last names applied. I didn't but I could have.

I don't really know why I decided to finally write this post. I have so many more stories. I just think it's both incredibly sad that so much Jewish culture and people were lost but also it's a little heartwarming to see what survived even centuries down the line.
