Someone told me that as I heard more Polish, ł would start to sound more like an "l" with a diacritical adjustment (which it is) than an English "w" which is how you're taught to say it as an A1 speaker; I think I am just starting to be able to hear it a little. Funnily enough, it's the word pomysł that I think I can hear it in best. It's so interesting how the boundaries between sounds representing one letter and another, across all the different ways a language's speakers say something, are like way more arbitrary and constructed than we might naturally assume.

As someone who learned both English and Tamil from my parents (native Tamil speakers), the idea that you don't need to recognize the letters in a word in order to read it is baffling. It's always bewildered me how Americans will try to pronounce foreign words or names, but straight up replace the words and syllables in them with completely different ones. As a racialized person of foreign heritage, knowing that you are being taught to do this is mind boggling.

i'm so glad someone else was bitchy about that post bc i couldn't be bothered to when i saw it. the reason that literacy rates in the usa are poor is because of rising inequality and also because kids are just straight up being taught to read wrong. not because of fucking fanfiction or YA or 'puriteens' or whatever the fuck else is the bugbear of the week for people who still stake their self esteem on their high school english grades

The Power of a Smile

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Maya who lived in a small village. Maya was always cheerful, and her smile could light up the entire village. Everyone who met her loved her for her kindness and positivity.

One day, an old man was passing through the village, looking sad and lonely. Maya noticed him and went up to him with a smile on her face. She asked him what was wrong, and he told her that he had lost his way and was feeling lost and hopeless. Maya listened to him carefully and then offered to take him to her home, where her family would be happy to help him.

Maya's family welcomed the old man and provided him with food and a place to rest. The old man was touched by their kindness and was grateful to Maya for her help. Before leaving the village, he thanked Maya and told her that her smile had given him hope and the strength to continue his journey.

Years went by, and Maya grew up to be a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. She got married and moved to a big city, but she never forgot the power of a smile. Whenever she saw someone who looked sad or lost, she would offer them a kind word or a smile. Her simple act of kindness would often brighten up their day and give them hope.

One day, Maya received a letter from the old man she had helped many years ago. In the letter, he thanked her for her kindness and told her that he had never forgotten her smile. He wrote, "Your smile gave me the strength to keep going, and I have now found my way. I hope you continue to share your beautiful smile with the world, as it has the power to change lives."

Maya was touched by the letter and realized that a small act of kindness could make a big difference in someone's life. From that day on, she continued to spread joy and kindness with her smile, knowing that it had the power to change the world, one person at a time.

The end.

marauders characters’ ethnicities/religions/languages

just my own HCs so don’t get offended!

jayaram fleamont potter

(tells people to call him j or jamie bc its easier, so everyone assumes his real name is james, and he doesn’t correct them)

indian hindu on his mum’s side (tamil nadu specifically)

effie comes from a rich tamil pureblood family (many pureblood families name their children something greek/latin, thus ‘euphemia’), and teaches jamie hindi, tamil and some greek

his tamil is great and he’s fluent in writing/reading as well as speaking, writing letters to effie from hogwarts in tamil

his hindi is okay, mostly with reading and talking, his writing is pretty limited

his greek is godawful and he’s barely conversational, much to effie’s dismay

(non-practicing) catholic chilean on his dad’s side

monty is (obviously) a potter, and most of his relatives live in chile or south america, but his parents moved to england for hogwarts (didn’t want him going to school on another continent to them)

he’s a practicing hindu with his mum (monty doesn’t really get it because he doesn’t speak a word of hindi so he just smiles and nods)

he speaks english and (chilean) spanish, which he teaches jamie, who speaks/reads/writes it as fluently as his english and tamil

sirius orion black

he is heir of the noble and most ancient house of black so he’s the french-est pureblooded-est guy you’ll ever meet

especially pureblooded because he’s the product of incest (his parents are second cousins) (canon)

the black family are french, owning many estates there, etc., but have lived in england for generations (his great-grandparents migrated and now they only visit france in the summer sometimes)

catholic (receiving NOO criticism here bc this is canon (no its not)) with intense religious trauma and internalised homophobia (not projecting at all whaaaaat)

sort of converts to judaism (ish?) he makes remus explain it all and siri thinks its sooo fascinating so he gets a menorah for the dorm for hanukah and buys a torah to study and remus is so happy

speaks french as his first language, and latin and greek fluently from tutoring, but only started to learn english for hogwarts (is so bad at it in first year omg)

remus yohanan lupin

(I KNOW HIS CANON MIDDLE NAME IS JOHN BUT HE IS SO JEWISH CODED TO ME SO HERE’S THE HEBREW FORM OF JOHN INSTEAD X)

polish-jewish on his dad’s side (lyall was evacuated to wales in ww2, when he was about 10, and hope’s parents looked after him until he graduated hogwarts and started dating hope (they literally adored him and helped raise remus I DONT CARE))

protestant welsh on his mum’s side (didn’t really practice her faith though - just brought them all to church on christmas eve and easter sunday)

interfaith household + being a patrilineal jew (more not fitting in angst for remus guys!)

spoke english and welsh at home, equally fluent (lyall picked up welsh while living with hope’s parents), and hebrew too from his hebrew sunday school

lyall tried (and failed) to teach him polish, as that was his first language, so remus can speak a very basic amount of polish, mostly swearing and children’s lullabies (marlene teaches him more at hogwarts so they can gossip!)

not very orthodox jews, but celebrate jewish holidays and go to the synagogue on sabbath (and he wears a necklace of the star of david that belonged to lyall’s late mother)

pieter daan pettigrew

(anglicised his name for hogwarts because everyone called him p-eye-ter (like actual pie + ‘ter’))

protestant dutch on his mum’s side (but she went to hogwarts!)

protestant english on his dad’s side

parents were ‘born again’ christians so they were very devout (grace before every meal, helping out at church every sunday, bible study every morning, etc)

peter never really believed in any of it, and would often go to jamie’s to avoid having to go

he spoke english with his dad and half-brother, but solely dutch with his mum and his other siblings. he was also taught latin before hogwarts (pureblood things) and absolutely HATED it (he was probably dyslexic and often found himself changing language in the middle of his talking exams)

picked up a fair bit of tamil from jamie and effie (aka his second mum) and absolutely LOVED the potters’ diwali party (literally the highlight of his year)

let me know any other characters i should do!! and if you disagree feel free to leave your HCs in the comments, but please respect that people have different opinions xx
