hello language learners! new this month in the language village, a chill way to practice a little bit every day: the one sentence club! as the title suggests, the idea is to write one sentence in your target language(s) every day. for an extra challenge, especially if your target language uses a different script, try handwriting the sentence too!

join the language village discord server to receive daily reminder pings, get inspiration from a daily question prompt, and participate alongside other one sentence club members!

feel free to tag #langvillage if you post your sentences on tumblr ✨

breaking into parties and breaking stuff is a normal habit for these two, so messing with the electricity and doors was all on them. Well, mostly Wolfgang's. Morgan actually wanted to party.

It is somehow already November??! and I promised myself that in Nov I'd get back into language learning consistently again (since work - tutoring for uni - is done and I'll have time). I also promised myself that I would start learning Thai (because Jeff Satur and the Thai alphabet are both beautiful and amazing).

I won't have time for a lot of intense learning, since I am still working on my dissertation and it is my priority, so I've decided to kinda combine two langblr challenges I've seen! First is @/langvillage 's one sentence club and second, so I don't have to expend energy thinking of what to write, is @/spraakhexe2 's 30 day language challenge.

I have changed some of spraakhexe2's prompts because I don't think I have the ability or time for the more complicated ones lol, and my goal really is to just write one sentence every day.

The prompts are under the cut.

This is mostly just to keep myself accountable lmao, but anyone is free to do it as well lol (if you do, and esp if you're handwriting please tag me or smth, I'd love to see it!)

Amane's birthday flower tweet

(tweet links here)

Happy Birthday to everyone born today. Today is also Amane Momose from #MILGRAM's birthday. Her birth flower is Passiflora caerulea (tokeisou/Blue Passion Flower). The name "Passion flower" [tl note: passion as in "the passion/suffering of Christ, not enthusiasm] was used by Christian missionaries, it comes from the stamen's resemblence to the Crucifixion of Christ, with the 10 petals representing 10 Apostles. The passion flower's hanakotoba are "Faith", "Sacred Love" as well as "Religious fervour". Just so you know, this is simply an annecdote about the flower, it's not directly related to Amane's origins. Hanatokoba is purely allegorical. Simply put, just because the blue passion flower has this kind of backstory and hanakotoba, it doesn't mean Amane's religion is the same. Just added this supplement in case this is the first time you've had a run in with the Hanakotoba Guy and found it hard to understand. [Note: 花言葉おじさん Hanakotoba ojisan aka Hanakotoba Guy/Old Man Hanakotoba/Mr Hanakotoba is Yamanaka's nickname for himself when he does these things, he also used the term in Mikoto's birthday tweet]

本日お誕生日の方おめでとうございます。 #ミルグラム では桃瀬遍の誕生日でもあります。 誕生花はトケイソウ。十字架にかけられたキリストに似た雄しべと10人の使徒に見える花弁から別名「受難の花」と呼ばれ、キリスト教の布教に利用されました。花言葉は『信仰』『聖なる愛』そして『宗教的熱情』。 ちなみにこの花に関してのエピソードなだけで、本人の出自とは直接関係ありません。花言葉はあくまで寓意です。 噛み砕いてわかりやすく言うと、トケイソウってお花にそういうエピソードと花言葉があるってだけでアマネの信教がそうだって話じゃないよってことね。花言葉おじさんと邂逅するのが初めてだとわかりづらいだろうなと思って補足。

Charles's post-race comments | Spanish Grand Prix | 23 June 2024

So close, yet so far away to that P4 there at the end...

The Spanish translation was really wild for this one 💀

Fun fact: Lout of Count's Family is on Webtoon for free!...But only in Spanish

Some tidbits about the Spanish translation:

"Kail Henitus" END ME IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, EVEN IF YOU WANT SPANISH SPEAKERS TO PRONOUNCE HIS NAME AS INTENDED, WHAT'S NEXT, A L B E R T O?

Has spelled Lock's name as: Rak, Lak, and Lock (Get it together, Webtoon)

The official title translation is Trash of the Count's Family, unlike the English's "Lout" (That's neat, actually)

They reversed the name order for Korean names, so it's Choi Han → Han Choi, Kim Roksu → Roksu Kim

They initially went with Choi Han calling Cale just "Cale", but after a while, they switched it to "Lord Cale" (Don't know if they listened to the comments section for this one, I saw a lot of complaining when they chose to leave it as just Cale)

Alberu's name is *drum rolls* ...Alberu, we've been granted this mercy, at least

Some of the SFX translations are SO FUNNY, I don't know how they compare to the KR version, but at least I know they're different from the English version, I personally really like them, they add trashiness to Cale's behavior

My favorites (I put some explanations in the alternative text):
