"Měli byste zkusit mluvu polskou v praxi." - all of that words can have completely different meaning used alone, but that sentence translate as "You should try to actively speak polish."

"Ne pepři vepře pepřem, Petře, protože bez pepře vepř je lepší." - aaand that's tongue twister we have in czech language too! Translate to: "Do not use peper to the pig, master Peter, beause the pig is better without it."

I don't speak polish. But yeah, I understand wizzard gibberish.

Also, have you guys ever tried to learn vietnamies from native language that DOES NOT differ between words by different tone pitch? Much fun.

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing "he or she" somewhere, English you have a commonly used, grammatically correct gender neutral pronoun. Fucking use it.

[canisalbus]

oh I am so jealous about your non-gendered language (as someone who also only uses they/them)

The only way to use non-gendered pronouns here in greece is to call people 'it', as in the 'this is an object' type of 'it' which obviously isnt what most people are looking for

Being a Jane liker is so hard cause you go to her tag and it’s just a bunch of people lamenting how overhated she is and then continuing to ignore her, and being a Jake liker is so hard cause you go to his tag and it’s just tons of people making the most demeaning comments about him cause his character committed the crime of being annoying (unforgivable.)

Hello Jekyll and Hyde adaptation writer.

In front of you is a copy of the original novella, by RL Stevenson, and the writing utensil of your choice. You have an hour to read the novella, and then 45 minutes to write a summary of the themes in the story. You must at no point suggest that Jekyll is "the good one" and Hyde is "the bad one". If you do, you will be beaten to death with a walking cane. Good luck.

(also a sticky note with the ideas i had for dj that were more dress up ideas than anything, the standard format is jake x dirk. forgive my writing and spelling)
