korean is probably the most fun language i have ever tried to learn the way that i still haven't given up on it and i still study every day says a lot 😭

Throwback to that time in third year of middle school when I "stole" a russian dictonary from the school library and taught myself the cyrillic alphabet just for fun.

So now I can read cyrillic but not translate the words.

Freaking out russian/ukrainian players online is funny af, but also the face my music teacher did after I read out loud the sign above the russian embassy in Geneva. Good times.

And I still have that dictionary.

honestly as someone who never really got into lotr but independently also came up with the idea that the most sensible way to handwave everyone in a fictional setting speaking english & using terms that would have no reason to have originated in that setting is to just pretend its all a translation/localization of whatever language theyre actually speaking, it was such a relief to learn that tolkien also did that. like oh ok so im not crazy for wanting to do it that way. or like, maybe i am, but at least in the same way that a wildly successful fantasy author was, so i think im good

I had to muster up my remaining brain power to think of things to say so upon long reflection- here are some unusual things I could think of:

- grew up in a family of musicians but can’t play any instruments 👍

- I talk in my sleep and have a history of sleepwalking. I’ve also typed messages while sleeping which has led to embarrassing situations 😍 I think all this may be linked to the fact that I dream a lot. Actually I move a lot in my sleep, waking up on the floor or with my feet on my pillow and head where the feet should be has happened in the past (I usually sleep in a one person bed so I don’t know how)

- I’m the pickiest eater ever known to man I don’t even know how I’m still standing

- I can recite the alphabet backwards in Fr*nch (absolutely useless skill)

- Always had a knack for knights and sword fighters growing up so I took on fencing and horse riding that I stopped solely because I was scared of my teammates and have no sense of competition (never going to be a knight at this rate)

My passions:

- José

- José

- Bugs and everything related to the ocean (also cats)(actually I really like all animals because I find them fascinating and I like taking care of them)

- Fancy rocks because I like what they look like and the textures so I collect them in organised boxes.

Konoha's name in braille

Japanese braille (tenji): このは あきのり

English braille: Konoha Akinori

Korean braille (jeomja): 코노하 아키노리

This is so random. I really need to increase my skill range. By the way, fun fact, Japanese braille has spaces unlike Japanese. And this is kana braille because kanji braille is way too complicated for me.

Unicode versions in case anyone's interested (warning, it looks a little misleading: dots on the right look like they're on the left):

3 Japanese Writing Systems: Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana

In this post , you will learn on 3 Japanese writing systems. Check out my japanese products [here]. The Japanese writing system is a fascinating and complex blend of different scripts that evolved over centuries. For anyone looking to learn Japanese, understanding these scripts is essential. This post delves into the intricacies of the Japanese writing system, exploring its history, structure,…

[humblefryingpan]

Learning katakana is so hard for no reason because it sounds just like the english word but you don't realize until you know what it means. Like if I said "sutukesu" would you automatically realize what it is?? No but when you know it means suitcase it's really fucking obvious isn't it

And "kureyon" means crayon. It's so simple. I learnt it a few months ago and at the time it took like 5 minutes of struggling until my tutor said it (I have to read it out and then translate it, she didn't say it before). I always go one syllable at a time but with katakana it's so much simpler when the words are fast. It was literally:

"ku-re-yo-n???"

".....kureyon"

"OH CRAYON??"

I was sounding it out like I'd never heard a word in my life. And you know the second you figure it out you will feel stupid. (It literally sounds just like crayon when it's said fast enough I'm still mad I didn't get it)

I learnt "macudonarudo" today and I was struggling. It's fucking McDonald's.

Other simple words that I was clever enough to actually figure out without being a moron for 10 minutes are "kare" (curry) "baiorin" (violin) and "pa-ti" (party)

dont ask me why but W should be pronounced “Wee” not “Double You”

[slanax]

havin a little acknowledge-your-own-bias moment as I realize that oh yeah, of course, the reason Unown is considered mysterious runes you have to decipher and not just. a fairly hard to read font is bc the place that came up with Unown doesn't use those letters

never really thought about that, back when I was a dumb stupid kid I just learned the letters p easily bc they're the letters I've already been using and just thought "oh yeah it's not that hard so that my fellow dumb stupid kids have a chance at figuring this out" and granted it's probably also that but I'm guessing it'd look a lot weirder and harder to figure out and more foreign if the letters are, in fact, literally foreign
