The UK government requires individuals applying for a Spouse Visa to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. This requirement is in place to ensure effective communication and integration within the UK society.

Latest Requirement Update:

The minimum level required is A1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in speaking and listening for first-time UK Spouse Visa applicants.

However, this requirement will increase to A2 in speaking and listening for applications submitted after July 1, 2024.

Approved Language Tests

Taking an approved English language test remains the primary way to fulfil the requirement. Popular options include the IELTS, PTE Academic, and the Trinity Secure English Language Test (SELT).

Remember, the test must be taken at an approved test center and the certificate must be valid at the time of application.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

this might already exist (and if it does please send it my way i want to read it) but XY AU where language barriers exist.

Ash is fluent in Japanese and has decent Galarian (Iris and Cilan helped fill in a lot of gaps from school).

Serena is Kalosian but went out of her way to learn Japanese after that summer camp.

Clemont is fluent in Kalosian, has passable Galarian, and knows enough Paldean and Japanese for challengers (but usually uses a translation tool anyway. which is currently stuck in the gym thanks to Clembot).

Bonnie only knows Kalosian and a couple random Galarian phrases.

i might make loose comic thoughts on it but like. ash shows up in kalos with 0 knowledge of the language aside from MAYBE a few basic things from Alexa like "hello" and "i want to battle". two people with wildly different accents trying to speak the same secondary language until serena shows up and can more effectively communicate some thoughts that get lost in translation. bonnie and ash half-miming to communicate early on but still getting equally excited about pokemon things. an extra layer of "ash does not know miette is flirting with him" cause she thinks he knows at least some kalosian. do you see my vision

Today's level of brainrot is listening to that 2007 or whenever Gummy Bear song over and over in different languages.

Cantonese and Klingon are standouts for me rn.

I love singNsong again reminding people in Side Story that Dokja wanted other people to read TWSA (he wrote reviews and comments! It was his first wish), and he only stopped bothering because people harassed him for it. He didn't gate-keep the story. When he's avoiding talking to Sangah about it at the beginning of ORV, it's because he knows what happens when he tells people about the story, not because he's gate-keeping it from her. He notes he's not proud of his hobby (likely because he's been bullied all through his life, including for reading the thing he loves): he finds it embarrassing to talk about, and better respects her studying Spanish in her free time (learning another language is a generally accepted thing in society). He assumes she won't care or will look at him funny (or worse) for when she learns about the novel he's into.

Basically anyone writing "let's gatekeep ORV" posts because of the anime announcement or because they dislike the manhwa or some other weirdness, y'all are the villains in the scenario.

The literal climax of the story is about sharing ORV with as many people as possible. What story were y'all reading?

Twitter: Wilbur didn't do anything! There's no proof!

Wilbur in his apology:

"this persons feelings are completely vaild"

"These actions caused alot of pain to my ex-girlfriend"

"I have come to realise how much my past behaviour hurt this person"

(Realise Google definition: become fully AWARE of (something) as a fact; understand CLEARLY)

"I understood from our numerous conversation [...] consensual" followed by "while I may have perceived our interactions differently, I recognise that has processed and expressed feeling of hurt"

His "I understood" turns to a very uncertain "I may have perceived" - the additional "may have" making him seem not very confident in what he's saying.

He's confident in the things that make him look better but not confident when it comes to the overall overview of the situation because he saw it different.

He recognised that he had done something bad. This is from his apology himself!

But The Looky why are you taking apart quotes?

Wilbur Soot, on multiple occasions, has stated that he is an English Major (he literally wrote most the dsmp scripts), so why would an English major international use this type of wording.

Because when you take it apart, it makes him seem more confident in himself and pushes that he's not confident in her 'allegations'

His lack of confidence and acknowledgment is a divisive move by Wilbur to capitalise on his vulnerable fans and audience to make them believe in him more. The MEDIA and NEWS do this all the time.

It creates a "if he doesn't know what he's talking about then he didn't do it vibe" or a plain display ignorance, to make him look better.

And he made an apology UNPROMPTED, like when shelby said her ex she didn't say Wilbur.

It could have been an ex before or after him, if it wasn't him then he wouldn't need to apologise and could've been like "Hey that's not me!"

He didn't. He said it was him by making a response. Why apologise for something you didn't do?

You could argue that Shelby was a "terrible partner" or "used him for his clout" but on what basis?

If she was a terrible partner that's make a pair, and there is a bunch of evidence that support the fact that Wilbur behaves the way BOTH HE AND SHE HAVE STATED.

And if she was "using him for clout" then he could have been like, "Hey I don't like you. I don't want to stream with you anymore"

But then he joined Origins Smp and Shelby was there, they were both ghost, he goes out of his way to interact with her.

Your gonna act like if Wilbur told Tommy he was uncomfortable with Shelby being there, Tommy would have said no? Really?

And in the some Wilbur / shelby streams Wilbur was at her house.

Wilbur would have been better of saying his apology was AI generated and to have written a new one with he excuse, "he was in a rush"

Btw we shouldn't use english in international settings because it's an inherently ableist language. Ever thought about that

Do you like babel. I have the book but I haven’t started yet

oh I adore babel. I talk about it so much and am constantly reccing it to people--in fact, I did so just yesterday after quoting it in class discussion!

With a complex, diverse main cast and a heavy focus on language--as an art, as a field of study, as a tool of oppression by colonial empires--it creates such a captivating world and worldview. Following the 4 main characters throughout their college schooling and seeing them try to reconcile and come to terms with their circumstances and their losses and their supposed helplessness is such an emotional journey, and its one many can see themselves in.

You'll find a lot of people who've lost/struggle with their heritage language(s) echoing the characters' sentiments and experiences, though the relations can and do go beyond that.

I'm trying not to spoil anything, but if you'd like a more official summary/sales pitch or would like to talk about it more I am always delighted to discuss babel :)

Forever obsessed with the person who asked in a Wattpad comment whether everyone else's quotation marks were at the bottom like it's some sort of rare glitch in the matrix just on their end and not because my keyboard was set to German at the time and I couldn't change it in the app I was using to write.

SO I've loved this song and this band for ages (have you ever seen a live pop song performance with a harp? you have now) so I figured it's about time I did a translation

我用什么把你留住 - 福禄寿

How can I make you stay? - Floruitshow

你忘了 划过伤口的冷风

You've forgotten the cold winds blowing over open wounds

你信了 不痛不痒就算过了一生

You've believed that you can let your life pass in numbness

你 为什么 看见雪飘落就会想唱歌

But why do you feel like singing when you see the snow fall?

为什么 在放手时刻眼泪会掉落

Why do your tears fall in the moment of letting go?

一个一个走过

One by one, they pass by

一个一个错过

One by one, you miss your chance

一遍一遍来过

One by one, the story repeats

一次一次放过

One by one, you let them go

一声一声笑着

Time and again, you laugh

一声一声吼着

Time and again, you scream

一幕一幕闪着

Time and again, the scenes flash by

刺痛我

Bringing me pain

因为享受着它的灿烂

Because we're enjoying its brilliance

因为忍受着它的腐烂

Because we're enduring it's rottenness

你说别爱啊 又依依不舍

You say don't fall in love, yet you're unwilling to let go

所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌

And so life itself is bitter as song

因为享受着它的灿烂

Because we're enjoying its brilliance

因为忍受着它的腐烂

Because we're enduring it's rottenness

你说别追啊 又依依不舍

You say don't chase after it, yet you're unwilling to let go 所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌

And so life itself is bitter as song

你睡了 可时间它依然走着

You've fallen asleep, but time is still passing

你怕了 恍然抬头梦却醒了

You've gotten afraid, but you jolt upright and awake from dream

你会静默 手握着星火等在至暗时刻

You stay silent, holding onto starlight as you wait through your darkest hour

你被击破 当熟悉呢喃又穿透耳朵

Your mind is struck, when familiar murmurs pierce your ears once more

一个一个走过

One by one, they pass by

一个一个错过

One by one, you miss your chance

一遍一遍来过

One by one, the story repeats

一次一次放过

One by one, you let them go

一声一声笑着

想不想看花海盛开

Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?

想不想看燕子归来

Do you want to see the swallows returning?

如果都回不来

If none of them come back

那么我该为了谁而存在

Then who should I live for?

想不想看花海盛开

Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?

想不想看燕子归来

所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌

And so life itself is bitter as song

在这浩瀚星河你是什么

What are you, in this vast sea of stars?

在她温柔眼眸的你是什么

What are you, in her gentle eyes?

闪着光坠落 又依依不舍

Shimmering as you fall, yet you're unwilling to let go

所以生命啊 它璀璨如歌

And so life itself is brilliant as song

你一定要看到花开

You must stay to see the flowers bloom

你一定等燕子归来

You must wait till the swallows return

想着它们都会回来

Knowing that they will come back

你誓死为了这些而存在

You swear on your life that you will live on for them

你一定要看到花开

You must stay to see the flowers bloom

你一定等燕子归来

You must wait till the swallows return

I hope more qsmp creators get some sort of subtitles for their streams past the qlobal translater. Whether it's something like Baghera's or the extension that Forever uses- or a combo of things like Badboyhalo. Especially the english creators. I think only Bad has the translator extension?
