“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”

“It’s what the science says, of course!”

“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”

“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”

“Huh…”

…

Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.

Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

#danny phantom #dp #my idea of ghost speak is that it’s a language inherent to all ghosts #but that ghosts can still learn/speak other languages if they want #so like danny can communicate with any ghost in ghost speak #but like if. say. tucker wanted to talk to a ghost. that ghost would need to speak english #and danny hadn’t noticed that restriction in others before since he’d never seen a ghost who didn’t speak english converse with a human #danny phantom prompt #dp prompt #good fenton parents #well their quality is not specifically shown here but like #i’m justifying their views on ghosts with a genuinely plausible misunderstanding #if the past encounters had a language barrier and the ghosts defaulted to saying hi by attacking. yeah no shit humans got wary of them.#not specifically dpxdc but ghosts fighting to bond has showed up in a good number of those stories so i’ll add a couple of those tags too #dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #dcxdp

Barry knows Italian and Spanish and finds learning languages fascinating, especially learning true slang

Rafe I think would rather die than listen to someone try to teach him more than a couple words cause he finds it so boring and pointless.

When I first started teaching English, I totally bought into the idea that my students just needed more speaking practice. After all, they had been studying English since elementary school, so surely the knowledge was already inside of them and they just needed practice to bring it out

This came partially from the way the lessons at my school were set up (a "eikaiwa" in Japan aimed at "teaching" English "conversation"). It also came partially from my own beliefs. I had studied Spanish for years and gotten a 5 on the AP exam and minored in it at university, but I still couldn't speak and surely that was because I didn't have enough opportunities to practice.

But now after becoming fairly proficient in Japanese, I've realized that the reason I couldn't speak Spanish well is...I just never got that good at Spanish. Tests =/= fluency.

Finally admitting that to myself has helped me be a lot more realistic about language learning and grow so much as a teacher.

#langblr #japanese language #english language #spanish language #learning languages #if you feel like you (or your students) understand more than you speak then consider that maybe you aren't understanding as well as u think #when i was like jlpt n4 i used to say i was understanding about 50% of most conversations #now that i'm n2 i feel fairly confident that i'm understanding about 50% of most conversations lol #llu

Probs a random question, but IK moved to England when she was quite young, right? Does that mean she developed one of the many accents there, and if so, could you tell us which one?

ooh i haven't really thought about this before... it's definitely not one of the posh ones, that's all i can say--

let me think about this... the boring answer is just "received pronunciation" but the thing about rp is that no one ever has a pure standard english accent anyway. now, this is going to be high specific, but!

take received pronunciation as the base, then make it softly yorkshire - but with an irish inflection on certain words that she learned from her aunt lisa

#answering asks #anon asks #does this make sense to anyone who isn't me #anyway to elaborate a little #ik didn't start speaking until quite a bit later than most kids do and even then it was only with her dad #zhao of course mainly conversed with her in mandarin plus he had a heavy accent when speaking english #subsequently a very young ik also had an accent which he thought would be difficult for other kids to understand #so he tried to make it so she'd learn rp using tapes at the library and such #hence her basic accent being standard english #but they live in the yorkshire area which of course crept into it #and then the irish from aunt lisa is self-explanatory #(ik can subsequently do a perfect very strong yorkshire accent)

The rabbi's daughter taught me to swear last night 💪💪💪💪

#jumblr #jew by choice #jewish conversion #hebrew #personal thoughts tag #no i won't be saying this much at all i just mentioned frame switching when you speak languages #and i mentioned i swear like a MOTHERFUCKER in english and i never swear in hebrew #i'm learning hebrew for religious reasons mostly #swearing is morally neutral however - sometimes though when people only learn foreign languages just to swear/be inappropriate it's odd #but i think learning swearing can be a valuable way to learn cultural understanding of what goes in a swear #what is seen as offensive and seen as curse-worthy is cultural #she and i got along GREAT though it was so much fun talking for HOURS

introduced a friend to dnp for the first time yesterday and twelve minutes the first video (halloween baking) he said "you speak exactly like dan does 😃"

im aware that i kind of do it but i didn't know it was constant and immediately clockable i- girl. what. i know i say he had an irrevocable effect on my early teenagehood development but to that extent??? damn. okay 😭

#dan howell #danisnotonfire #dan and phil #phan #yes im esl yes i learned a large amount of my conversational vocab thanks to dnp but???#to get told upfront ''yh i can hear his influence on the way you speak english'' is wild #not the annoying tumblrina-stan twt vocab/cadence influence. not my estonian-esl accent.#just dan howell and his precise speech patterns copied fully. :///#lisanna talks

Conversation with my supervisor while at a Japanese restaurant the other day

Supervisor: *translating the menu* ...and then this one here is pig hormones Me: ...hormones? Supervisor: Yeah I know, but it's really popular here Me: You mean... pork meat from pigs fed with hormones? Supervisor: No, I mean like, the hormones Me: ... Supervisor: You know. The innards. Intestines and stuff Me: That's not what hormones means in English

i don't know anyone else with this headcanon but in my mind taylor is such a polyglot. like he learned mandarin (i headcanon cassandra as wasian) bc that was the one language he knew with certainty was in his genetic history and then from there decided to learn japanese, french, and german (he watched hetalia). once he met and befriended normal he BEGGED him to help him learn spanish, and once he finally met nick (who i hc as thai and chinese) he learned thai and is also trying to learn cantonese.

#mega.exe #he's got so much energy and he put it into learning languages #imo the only ones hes rlly good at r english mandarin and thai but hes conversational in everything else #this one is for the taylor and normal shippers #dndads #dungeons and daddies #taylor swift dndads #dndads s2

I’m picking up way more Norwegian than i expected watching Skam. I fully expected that I’d watch the entire series once through understanding practically nothing of the audio and then in subsequent rewatches after having really picked up my studies (I’m at zero studies rn) start picking up words and phrases.

I’ve already got the days of the week, quite a few personal pronouns, several variations of hello and goodbye, some numbers, variations of yes and no, please and thank you, sorry, and a few short phrases (it’s all right, are you ok. Are you sure- that kind of thing) that I can understand while having looked away from the screen and missed the subtitle, and I’m only in episode 7.

#I do understand that Norwegian is super complex and any beginners luck I’m having here is temporary #but I’m also encouraged that I’m starting to pick up basics #and if after some deep study I went and just thrown-off-the-deep-end immersed myself I’d probably not die #and like I KNOW the majority of Norwegians speak english way better than I’ll ever speak Norwegian #and in daily interactions I wouldn’t HAVE to be fluent #but if I ever traveled there/lived there I’d want to understand enough to watch tv and understand the news and just be normal there #also I think if I ever did move there I would tell all my friends to force me to speak Norwegian 100% with them #because that’s how I got fluent in Spanish #I was CONVERSATIONAL and probably a B1 before I went to Guatemala #my friend (english but living in Guatemala) took our other english speaking friend with her one day #and looked at me and was like ‘you speak enough Spanish you will be fine’ and sent me off with her friends who knew not one word of english #the ‘speak or die’ panic immersion after the first 12 hours had me LITERALLY forgetting words in english already #I was SO TERRIFIED at the start of the day like buddy I don’t speak THAT much Spanish to abandon me to the wolves #but being FORCED to do it reprogrammed my brain so drastically that I was scoring a C2 by the time I got home #it was that first 12 hours of complete immersion that made something in my brain just switch off english #my inner voice itself swapped to Spanish #something about my subconscious realizing ‘english will not help you here—don’t worry I’ll delete it for extra space’#so for the rest of the trip I never spoke another word of English and was confidently chatting and bartering with the sales people #and any word I didn’t know I just described in Spanish like my brain didn’t even provide me with the english word #and as soon as the person I was talking to told me the right word for what I was describing #that word encoded instantly #it was an amazing bypass of having to translate in and out of English #I could have probably spent two months there fumbling around and not learned much without that day-2-of-the-trip 12 hours of immersion

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.

#we speak #writing #we grew up with pmd games and we feel like the way that pmd pokemon's dialogue tends to be excessively... direct?#should be a feature and not a bug when any pokemon that you meet might be totally unfamiliar with your species and biology #it's probably very polite to start up front with some basic facts about yourself so they know how to act going forward #the very upfront feel to dialogue also very much helps with keeping the dialogue feel more... pokemon #people mock the series for weird npc dialogue a lot but we think that taking these things literally makes for more fun society building #it doesn't all have to fit with socially acceptable for our world we think. polite in our world isn't even consistent by household.#sometimes a polite interaction sounds like “hello! i'm poochyena! i like to chase people and bite!”#name and immediately socially useful information. now you know about the chasing people and biting so you don't assume it's rude #of course poochyena bites and chases people. it likes to do that. you can say you don't like that and it might stop doing that to You #but it will not stop biting and chasing people because that's what it likes to do and it will probably only befriend people okay with that #it makes a very specific dialogue feel that's very fun to do. we like how the pokemon world tends to treat any sort of like #disability or “weird” things as something that you just say out the gate and everyones like “oh okay”#and then treat that as Part Of Interactions going forwards. there are a surprising amount of parts of the pokemon manga #that are dedicated to working around a character's disability after one or all of their means of dealing with it get taken out #admittedly we aren't that caught up on newer content but we find the way that it tends to be just Accepted as very refreshing #making the dialogue this direct does also tend to make it read as more “childish” in english and particular because a lot of Maturity's jus #learning how to dance around what you're saying or phrase it in different ways to get your idea across differently #whereas here everything is just as direct as possible. “i don't like charmander”. “i like roasting berries”. “i want to dig things up”.#all pokemon dialogue tends to go towards being exceedingly simple and it makes for some very distinct writing #especially when you have to tackle complex situations with characters who probably dont employ that sort of vocabulary #though we personally enjoy doing this sort of stuff your mileage may vary ofc #we are biased towards this sort of thins because we find it MUCH more fun to build up what we're talking about from blocks #than to like. try and use more indirect wording that may lose things in translation #unfortunately this is not fun in irl conversation. everyone has to be on the same page and you need to use the same playbook to communicate #we REALLY wish people said what they meant though. we're really tired of being asked shit like “is this accessible”#when what they mean is “can you climb these stairs” a question which depends on the day our energy level and how things have been going #there are a lot of things we could say that would make us feel like some sort of anti sjw type guy and a lot of em boil down to just #"for the love of god dont dance around a Sensitive Topic just get to the point and ask us about it this just makes things harder for everyo

ever since i started learning japanese seriously, i usually tweet and try to make friends with jp people in the same fandom so i can practice my speaking/writing

I usually have like 2-3 mutuals in my old fandoms where we communicate in japanese, and sometimes some of them wants to learn english too, so we’d talk in both jp and eng

maybe bc my old fandoms are mainly 2d genre (anime and mobage) where even jp fans understand that jp animanga are becoming more popular globally and as a result, the fans are more accepting to interactions with overseas fans.

(I think there’s also a factor that in terms of 2d genre, western comics, cartoons and animations like marvel/disney/pixar are a benchmark of sorts. So jp animanga joining the ranks by becoming more global is something to be proud of)

but exile fandom scares me bc i barely see any open interaction with jp-overseas fans so i didnt make as much effort to reach out to jp fans even if i love their drawing/tweets and felt like we could get along bc of similarities :’) i feel like the fandom gap between jp exile fans and overseas exile fans are as wide as the seas that separates us

#banantxt #it is banan’s ramble ramblings hour #ever since back then i decided that #im going to do the same things i did when learning english and apply that to learning japanese #so that includes talking and writing in japanese #if i can become this comfortable with english then one day i can be comfortable with japanese too #(tho i feel that my english has been deteriorating as of late haha but as long as i can make sense its fine)#i feel like i still havent fully understood how 3d genre (real people) work #especially in regards to jp fandom where they always have additional etiquette and rules and such #so its not just a matter of being able to converse in the same language
