#also tagalog and german to get back in touch w my heritage languages.

[rotzaprachim]

now you've got me super curious. how many languages are you actively learning and what attracted you to each one? <3

OHHH so i have absolutely no focus but hypothetically

- i have some stuff for school that’s hyperspecific in a way i don’t want to talk about on the internets but am fine with in DM’s 

- i studied italian for two years as part of a requirement but haven’t really kept it up and want to! i love it, i started doing it dragging my feet a little but i really love it and its actually the one i’ve studied that i’ve gotten the most use out of by far. i love the sound of it, the vibrancy/specificity and emotion, the literature and poetry, and also the mix of dialetti/accenti (yes i very much know they’re seperate languages) and interplay of that, the diversity within it in everyday terms and the way i never feel finished learning.... 

- i started welsh casually about a month ago! i’ve always wanted to learn it and have had some contact with it for a while, hearing it and seeing it about etc and thought. well i’ll probably never have this much time again. i love welsh music and the coziness and hominess of how it sounds

- casually I dabble in norwegian and send text messages to my friend in it, but I understand swedish a bit better for various reasons. it’s similar enough to english i find it very satisfying to make quick progress, also I found that dabbling/learning in a romance and a germanic language has given me a deeper knowledge of English syntax, vocab, and grammar than grammar books or class have 

- I’ve been working on modern hebrew (and classical hebrew) for about a year and a half now, i just love it especially the roots system and the ability to access a wider range of Jewish writers and texts, both across time and across space/area, and the sense of interconnectivity and tangible earthiness (??? not sure if that’s the best word) i feel when I speak/read/write in it. LOVE roots 

thank you so much for the ask!!!!
