#best ways to learn english

[sherurose]

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!

the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".

so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.

art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.

Tbh I feel like going to the US while the Nazis are in power is suicidal. So of course I don't understand your choice of going instead of your SO coming to Europe. But while I don't understand, I wish and pray for you to be safe. Whatever you choose, I hope you guys will be okay

You might be right. I have no idea what the future has in store or if I'll come to regret it. But I've already stated my reasons. As it stands, with the year-long process we've already started and that we can't just flip on a dime overnight, my partner can't come and stay in Europe legally just like that. Legal immigration is not that easy in one way or the other. Also... Yeah, I've stated that before, but one shouldn't underestimate how shitty things have been getting in Europe for the past few years as well, and how the influence of the US (which is huge) is likely to make things worse. So again I'm not 100% sure whether that'd have been better anyway.

Also also... Ima be real, I've shared that before, but the time where I was separated from my partner due to the travel ban was the only time in my life where I had actual suicidal ideation. I don't want this to happen again. That's why I'm making moves so it doesn't, first and foremost.

reminding myself that, even though Evan now has a d20 in Magnetism and essentially a huge boost in confidence, he can exude that energy and still get nervous or embarassed or blushing while twirling his hair and kicking his feet or - and this is most important - feel a true calmness in subspace when being just a really good boy. it just maybe takes a little more oomf to get him there.

I just randomly thought of the Magia Record anime and got mad all over again lmao

[johnny after a month of visiting and staying with kenshi’s family]

Johnny, to kenshi’s mom: you know, I don’t think we ever really got over that, language barrier

Kenshi’s mom: no, It’s not your fault! You are learning quickly!

Johnny: what the- you speak english?!

Kenshi’s mom: of course I do!

Johnny: …you spoke english the whole time I’ve been here?!

Kenshi’s mom: I speak english since I was five years old!

I want season 3 to be two separate plots, one is the crew having their action adventure, and the other is just stede and ed figuring out how to run the inn sitcom style (bc jenkins said they would be horrible at it). The plots are completely unrelated until the very end when the bad guy ends up staying at the inn and the crew tracks him down and they all work together to take out the bad guy

If there is one thing I would like people to understand about Urianger it's that he is speaking an actual form of historical English that you can look up. It's not just random made-up Olde Timey Sounds. It's called Early Modern English, it has grammatical rules, and they're learnable!

love that the mc appreciation day for student characters is called "straight A student" bc i genuinely dont think Any of my mcs would be straight A students. not even the smart ones. or the ones that were good students.

Jumping on the ask train, with an in-between question! From the medias you've watched so far, which one do you believe to be severely underrated, and/or deserving of much more attention/love? (Not necessarily something hated by the public, more like a piece of media that's completely ignored/ghosted for a reason or another)

I've already gushed about it in the past but- a little treasure of a piece of media I've discovered last year is the truly wonderful Excavation of Hob's Barrow, a horror themed classic point & click game. It's recent but perfectly mimicks the artistry of old LucasArts games and its atmosphere is incredible. Its genius is the setting - old england folk tales, the rainy moors, a backwater village wherein you're very much made to feel like the outsider that you are - the horror is slow, all-encompassing, it grows in intensity; and yet at the same time you learn to know this village and its people and feel a little less lost. You learn to know the land. And to respect its legends.

This game is very much underrated and I dearly wish more people would get to hear of it and give it a try.

I suppose it's held down by the fact it's horror AND classic point & click vibes, which are two factors that do not necessarily overlap in the average person's tastes. Personally it was right up my alley, and it's a huge favourite of mine from last year (and maybe beyond).

for the past couple years ive been slowly. slowly learning beginners japanese and its very fun and im enjoying it a lot but also it has made me painfully aware in ways i wasnt before of how much my specific vaguely ontario accent makes me make out sloppy style with my vowels. i am going at those vowel's tonsils. i am doing things to diphthongs you wouldnt even believe.

Re-Ingesting media in a language you're learning is so fun because

You get to reexperience media you like with a new lens

If it's a good translation (or if the version you first saw was a translation) you get to learn some cultural elements as well ex: yawn is bostezo which I most likely would not have learned in a class

Its literally feels like a puzzle using context clues, what you remember of the original version you read, and the language you already know to figure out what it says. Me and my mom (who has a limited amount of spanish for medical purposes) literally just leaned over a Spanish copy of heartstopper to figure out a sentence and it was fun when our guess was mostly correct ("boy meets boy" is translated to "un chico conoce a otro" which we translated literally to "a boy gets to know another") and

You really get to see how far you've come in a tangible because in the span of a school year I went from recognizing a few words (due to my standardized "living in California" education) to being able to almost entierly understand the prologue which I'm aware is not a lot I would not be able to properly hold a conversation but it feels like a very real measurement of improvement rather than whatever my spanish grades are

Literally the best way to continue learning after getting your basic grammar down, highly reccomend

Also should probably @adhd-languages since they caused this post to exist

Hey y'all just gonna say if you allow kink that's awesome more power to ya but in that case 13+ is not adequate for this blog 😭 if there's topics like sex and kink it should be 18+

I mean certain “kinks” basically saying like cannibalism or blood or smth is allowed it’s not really a kink I just didn’t know how to word it I am the autism and am very dumb I am so sorry 😭😭😭

Also I’m not the best when it comes to how the English culture works, I know in my culture people tend to be loose about stuff I apologize, I got another person ion this account to help with that since I’m like so dumb lol, I’ll change the kink shit to like “cannibalism and blood stuff” is allowed (my English has been really bad lately I’m sorry 😭) but I’ll fix the wording because I like seriously fucked up the wording 🗣️ -⭐️

Katrielle Layton and Maya Fey aren’t allowed in the same universe because their friendship would be too powerful
