#To a mf native spanish speaker

"Gorilla warfare" lmao can't even spell guerilla

This does not change the fact that in Antarctica there are 21 million penguins and in Malta there are 502,653 inhabitants. So if the penguins decide to invade Malta, each Maltese will have to fight 42 penguins.

The biggest shame of my life would be being able to speak only my native languages + English

i came across a tiktok talking about how native english speakers who don't know any other languages basically tend to have a smoother brain than mfs who speak multiple complex languages bc english is generally pretty simple and all that. and now i'm starting to think that english somehow dumbed my brain down, bc although my first language is romanian, which is very similar to spanish, my brain is now trying to understand spanish through an english filter bc i'm fluent in english as well

[rhodeys]

why do you not like rdj?

hhhh the guy has definitely done his fair share of problematic stuff, the most popular/controversial one being his use of blackface in 'tropic thunder' and going as far as to defend it, too?? i'm not very versed on that though, you should probably look it up

but yeah, what really pushed me over the edge was a xenophobic comment rdj made in response to alejandro iñárritu's take on superhero films being "cultural genocide" (and he's RIGHT)

rdj was asked what he thought about it, and the guy said: "i think for a man whose native tongue is spanish to be able to put together a phrase like cultural genocide just speaks to how bright he is." (he says it from 00:42)

and it is so. SO FUCKING IGNORANT belittling the vocabulary of someone who is not a native speaker - irrespective of whether you're a native yourself or not, you don't mock someone else's vocabulary, period. and the way he just says "to be able to put together a phrase" is so demeaning in itself, as if english isn't the easiest mf language out there????? UGGGHHH. imagine saying shit like that when this is the only thing under your belt:

[kyra-song]

I just absorb the weirdest parts of language for example I can remember (the only things that come to mind) how to say

Shit in German

How old are you and idiot in spanish

And for some reason 'can I please have a hot chocolate' in French

Kyra please can I have your Spanish

-bird

alright big man i can read write and speak spanish well, but i can’t for shit translate native spanish speakers. those mf talk like lightning i’m just so lost

i have some light knowledge of japanese and irish but i can only read the japanese alphabets anymore i’ve forgotten most shit

Michael Fassbenders's Erik Lehnsherr & languages

Let me quote about the long road to Erik’s voice, from my old review on LJ:

Oh god, this is a bit hilarious. So I've seen pictures of Michael Fassbender, but never heard his voice. Then I start watching this movie and in his first scene he doesn't say a word. Then he finally talks and it's in French.

Ahahaha, I feel like I'm getting trolled. There's Erik again and this time he speaks... Spanish! Let's see after how many languages I'll finally get to hear him speak English. And I wouldn't mind hearing him speak German. I know MF is half German, so I'm hoping he's a native speaker.

Ah, and he speaks German! It sounds good! Ha, his voice sounds so generic. I mean, he sounds like a voice actor*. Man, he could totally dub his own character! Okay, you can hear a bit of a foreign accent, but really only a bit.

* Apparently youthful voices are preferred in the German dubbing industry.

Dammit, Magneto's theme is so great. What a brilliant soundtrack to this tense-as-fuck drinking scene!

And he finally speaks English!

Back to Storyboard!

[blackpoliglota]

Introduction!!

Hola a todos, bonjour à tous, 大家好嗎, and hello to everyone!  My name is Danielle, and I am a budding Black polyglot on a quest to learn as many languages, as well as about the plethora of cultures they come from, as I please.   This is the very first post for this new langblr, so I'll just stick to doing introductions about myself and about what will be posted on here. 

About me: I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, am a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Linguistics, am currently an English-teaching resident of Madrid, Spain for the rest of 2020, and lastly (and obviously), an avid learner of languages!   I'm an English native speaker, fluent in Spanish (B2 (Advanced) level), have an intermediate level of French under my belt (probably at the B1 level) as well as an intermediate level of Mandarin. 

My love for learning languages actually came from learning about Greek mythology in the 3rd grade (yes, I remember this), and through Greek mythology learning that there were people from another part of the world who lived lives significantly different from how I and others around me lived (and continued to live) ours.   It truly fascinated my young, developing mind at the time how there were people who wore completely different clothing, ate different types of food I never knew existed at the time, made and listened to different types of music, and especially made never-before heard sounds with their mouths!   Eventually the older I got, the more capable I became of doing my own research into these other world languages to the point where I started my language journey off by self-learning Spanish at 12 years old; this happened not too long after Latin pop music was introduced to me, and after I found out exactly what my Louisiana Creole heritage consisted of (Spanish, French, African, Native American).  I would later take formal Spanish classes once I started high school, as well as start learning Mandarin through formal classes as well.  Now why Mandarin: I wanted to learn Japanese in place of Mandarin since I was getting into Japanese pop culture (manga, anime, the likes), but ultimately chose Mandarin since it was my only option at the time that was the most closely-related to Japanese; who'd have thought I'd still be here studying it 9 years later!  I also had the opportunity to take Japanese for a year via an online school that my high school started partnering with at the beginning of my junior year.  Onwards!  I graduate high school and move onto college, continuing with my language studies and eventually adding French to that lovely list come 2nd semester junior year.  As far as French goes I picked that ope up because not only is it part of my cultural background, but I also need to learn it in order to attend the University of Geneva (UNIGE for short) and get a Master's in Conference Interpretation.  

And so there y'all have it!  The main purpose of this blog is to give me another way of applying what I learn throughout my studies.  That being said, you'll be seeing (hopefully, if I can channel enough creativity) all sorts of posts such as posts containing notes from formal language classes, music posts going over lyrics, and of course LANGUAGE PUNS!!!  I'd like to also use this blog to discuss cultural differences and my experiences navigating these differences.  And please interact with me!  There's no telling where my next language lesson will come from; y'all may learn something from me, and I could learn something from all of you!  Okay, that's enough for my intro; if you'd like to learn more about me feel free to send me asks, but keep it respectful, OR ELSE 👀  I am a 1st degree black belt (初段"Shōdan" in Japanese) in Shotokan Karate and therefore know how to kill a mf.  So if you know what's good for you, don't try me.  Now, let's get this langblr started!!

[sugarchains]

AIGHT SO

we’ve now been in school for 6 days and so i gotta at least do a write up before i work on bulletin board stuff BEFORE i go to a concert

IM GONNA GO SEE CHILDISH GAMBINO TODAY AND IM SO EXCITED BUT IDK WHAT COLORS TO WEAR???

-FOR THE FIRST TIME im only teaching one grade. just one. oh my god. i have 5 classes, 7 if you count the reading intervention classes but, STILL JUST ONE GRADE

-last year, me and other teachers made a case for separating the spanish classes. so just. breaking it up so i twasnt just one unit of kids who traveled together all the time? we made the same cases for the other classes, but it was a thing specifically with the spanish kids bc of the language barrier. so when the tested out and got placed into ict or gened classes, there was always some tension. ALSO, we just happened to have a predominance of spanish speakers, butwe had french and arabic students who just had to go to the ict classes and deal with it, so it wasn’t fair to them. 

but this year, everyones blended and it was funnier because now i teach 8th grade, but ive seen these 8th graders now for the past two years so they tried to say they dont speak english and i was like -side eyes- i recognize your voice and i could hear you cursing in english from down the hallway so??? 

theyre all lovely students

-ALSO so because im just 8th grade now, the kids that i taught in 6 and 7th grade are now 8th graders. this is the first time theyve had all my attention and the little fucking nerds were so hype i love them

-they changed my schedule like on friday, but BEFORE i had the self contained special education class for reading intervention. and i was initially panicked because im NOT sped certified yet but i at least know strategies bc i pick them up. but they wrote for me! willingly! we read a book and then they responded to a prompt and i just. iM SAD NOW BC THEY TOOK MY KIDS

-THYE ALSO TOOK AWAY MY 6TH GRADE READING CLASS THEY WERE GONNA WRITE MONSTER STORIES AND WE WERE GONNA READ THEM TOGETHER FOR HALLOWEEN IM SAD

-also! so some ppl may know this bc i think i said it bf, my school closed down so we could merge with another one. we also got kids from another middle school that was shut down. so now we’re a blend of 3 different schools. ive made it a point to not say “my kids” or things along that in front of the students themselves, bc you know community building and such. however the kids who were here are feeling themselves bc we were doing baselines and like introductions across the classes.

the kids from the other schools dont know their math/history/science. like in my room, so i could meet the kids, i made them do name, hobby, a history topic you wanna learn and one you know. the kids i taught were like I KNOW ABOUT COLUMBUS’ BITCH ASS, and how he didnt really land in america! we know the mexican american war!, (and i was preening internally bc i was like oh god, yeah we really went over it)

the new kids have almost no background knoweldge on any us history. they were asking to do the colonies and native americans and my kids were like UM thats 7th grade??? its time for WAR

-the delight i felt in class when one kid said “i wanna learn about indians” and i took the most dramatic breath, and my kids were like oh god

oh god please

its native americans, we went the whole year being hit for it please dont 

-oH YEAH SO IM REALLY DOING A TRIP TO SPAIN WITH THIS MFS IDK HOW THATS HAPPENING SO LIGHT A CNADLE AND PRAY FOR ME AND DONATE

-im like for real head of social studies in the humanities department now. the problem with that is that. ppl keep asking me how to make history fun for the kids and idk how to tell them to just be creative. 

like i see the curriculum. i know they have to learn about the civil war and reconstruction. however, i also know that the discussion about slavery and states rights has to happen. i know my kids got the slavery discussion already. we did it with the mexican american war, we started talking about how thats one of the first times america showed its behind to say thye willing to fight to continue to own ppl. 

but i know the new kids dont have that background and such, so we’re going to start with music and the legacy of slavery in america. 

i know we have to talk about active resistance and passive resistance to slavery. so we’ll use x men because how else would you show both sides???

so i gotta have a meeting with the social studies department to just be like you gotta show movies and music in class. if youtube doesnt work? pirate it. im just saying its for education so there are parts of the law that are lenient for it

anyway if you see me complaining about the face that people dont know how to be creative historically??? this is why

me: hey for religions, make your kids create a fb profile page for the religion 

coworker: holy shit how did you come up with that

me: its the technology age please incorporate it
