Hello Mrs Kingston!

You mentioned languages and your love for them on a post about American accents sounding movie-like to people. I also love languages and your tags had me wondering about your languages - you mentioned changing/removing your accent in your mothertongue. What is your mothertongue and why did you remove your accent? Your tag also seems to imply that you live somewhere that English is taught as a second language, yet your surname sounds English - is that by marriage, by chance or because you/your family moved?

Sorry for the many questions!

hello anon! my username is fully an alias! when i married my (american) wife we chose to hyphenate, but even her last name doesn’t sound particularly american, whatever ‘american’ is supposed to be in this context, hahaha. my primary language is dutch! i’ve lived here my whole life, my accent was regional/generational and i got rid of it because my ten-year-old self heard it on a recording and decided it was ugly (she was right)

#i always say i owe my english proficiency to my lifelong fascination with american media #& the fact that we don’t dub our movies and television shows #and that's why that post resonated with me!#i've seen expat advice telling foreigners moving to the us to keep their accent #that there are benefits to not passing as a native #and although i don't think i'll ever pass completely it would be far more impossible for me to somehow roll back my american accent #language is lovely #and stubborn that way #ask me things!#anonymous

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

#i love replaying certain scenes (usually screams) to see how they nailed it in other dubs #ive done it with Chilchuck & Mickbell screams because they're the funniest ones #give it a shot if you can #its really funny to hear certain character voices in other languages #for example. brazilian portuguesse gave both mickbell and chilchuck un-childlike voices (in japaneese both sound like little childs)#and they reused Chilchuck's japaneese screams for most of the other languages because he is so high-pitched and full of terror that it work #dungeon meshi #chilchuck #chilchuck tims #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi #senshi of izganda #senshi dungeon meshi #idk how do you people screen record the episodes #if i knew how to i would put the shots here #my shit #thanks to the one that made the clip on Chil's scream im in love here <3

i'll let phie-san say it:

#the vids i've seen on tiktok picking at her immediately get a block...#bitter otaku sitting in their socks in their mom's basement feeling threatened/enraged by a hot successful black woman outnerding them-core #also this kind of criticism is so demoralising and damaging to people who are trying to learn another language #also. accents are NORMAL and not a bad thing #i don't think that the end goal of picking up a new language necessarily has to be sounding native #and i know sometimes the way japanese people react like SUGOIII? *W* when a foreigner says like one (1) word in japanese is joked about #but like... genuinely... i always love when someone clearly has made an effort and took the time to learn some of the language #anyway she can step on those haters <3 #also like. it’s just some lines in a song people need to relax…#megan thee stallion #autoplay warning #japan #japanese #language #mamushi

The concept of "love languages" as a totalising picture of relationship dynamics may be pseudoscientific bullshit, but I have to credit the idea's proponents for enabling all those jokes of the format "my love language is [something objectively unhinged]". Top form there.

#pseudoscience #love languages #memes #swearing #my love language is inventing increasingly improbable love languages
