Hebrew started clicking for me when I started to see it not just as a language, but in terms of music. To me, hebrew is like complex sheet music, composed of notation that I am learning.
And to me, that's poetic because hebrew is the language I sing to g-d. It is the language I use to express gratitude and thanks and recognition. It is the language I use to express sorrow, grief, and hope. It's the language that tells me about g-d. It is the language I am learning in the same way I am learning about the people I am joining - the people with whom feel just as much as family as my own father. As someone who is incredibly music-based, it has made my journey in learning hebrew more personal and meaningful because it made hebrew make sense to me.
#jumblr#hebrew#jewish conversion#jew by choice#personal thoughts tag#because my hebrew journey is just as much a part of my conversion imo#i get frustrated when i don't understand henrew but it's because i WANT to understand it#and it's hard sometimes! it's been easier because i have spoken other languages which have similar structure to hebrew#like spanish is similar to me so there was less of a leap between speaking english and then hebrew

Hey unironically i think i should be hired by streaming sercives to fix their subtitles. I think there should be a way for viewers/streamers to report bad or inaccurate subtitles or ways they could be improved. I think they should be able to ask for better translations or ask to be told what language is being spoken if they switch languages. I think this should be an option for big blockbusters and random indie movies and international shows/movies and i think streaming companies should stop paying for the cheapest fucking options for their captioning
#this post brought to you by Highlander (1986) on Amazon Prime having the shittiest subtitles ive ever seen#un-synced#when it wasn't dialogue it just said Noise & Music constantly#and also that post about netflix not saying what language is being spoken and that effecting your understanding of the story#and also that one time prime had a show that just had a character saying Speaks Cantonese so you didn't get half the conversation#and the english subtitles for Squid Game not having any captions when anyone spoke english but they were all masked so they were muffled and#i couldn't read their lips so ironically i only understood the korean in that show#feel free to add on to this post

Lots of ads being written/spoken in English instead of our native language, menus being in English instead of our native language, not being able to speak our own language in a lot of stores and restaurants, or in my own apartment building. That shit doesn't sit right with me.
#personal#there's a bunch of wealthy expats studying and living here#and they absolutely refuse to speak the language spoken here#it just doesn't sit right with me to have to switch to my third language#because an expat doesn't learn basic sentences like do you want a bag and have a nice day#the amount of times I've gone up to a girl working in a store with a question and they go 'English! 🤨“#the audacity of that... absolutely not#it sometimes feels like our language is disappearing#so much is in english now#even the conversations people from this country have together has a bunch of english in it#and why is every ad in english? where are we?

Hey y’all! Do you know of any good sites to learn non-baby ASL for phrases like can I pet your dog, are you okay, do you need help, please help me, or other things like that? Mostly I just want to be able to communicate with one of my neighbors in an emergency, but also she walks her dogs around the neighborhood and they are adorable and I really want to be able to ask if I can pet them, but googling it is just getting me baby ASL tutorial videos and idk if that’s the same
#the person behind the yarn#ideally I want to learn all those phrases and any other important emergency phrases in every language spoken in my neighborhood#having to evacuate from fires back in california kinda instilled in me a like...you MUST be able to communicate with the community#and you MUST be able to get out in case of an emergency#and I can't drive. so I guess I should also learn#please help I can't drive so I can't evacuate or something like that#my neighbor's parents are long term visiting from India and do not speak like any English at all#so I also want to learn phrases like this (except maybe the can I pet your dog one) in a language they do understand#but idk which one that is yet. I only talked to that neighbor once but I've had a few charades conversations with his dad#nice dude! but I know there are multiple languages it could be and I want to get it right#is this all overkill: probably yet. Would it be better to pick one language and learn it fluently so I could really talk to that neighbor:#possibly! but idk if I can#I do think I can learn helpful emergency phrases in several languages though

I was postponing watching Young Royals bc I did not wanna watch smt in Swedish - I was just keeping up with English subtitles and then they started speaking Spanish and my brain shortcut
#and on top of that they speak English like we do in Denmark#meaning with random words throughout their Swedish sentences#throughout the Swedish/spanish conversation I was so thrown of I couldn’t tell what language was spoken#in danish so I’m allowed to shit on Swedish#but then adding Spanish another language I know to the mix and it’s a lot#why tf are they calling boarding school internat?? that’s where you send animals#this is so close and yet so far away#would have been easier if it was in Norwegian but alas#me#it’s quite good but I’m also getting very much second hand embarrassment#young royals

uni is like. you learn a subject really in depth and are kinda proud of it. you realise you dont actually want to do anything related to your major so this will never be useful to you ever
#and even if i did i still wouldnt need generative linguistics in order to be a translator#im not even at a conversational level in arabic and my spoken english sucks. oh well#back to learning all the african linguistic families for no reason#i cant even half ass this exam cause she fails 2 thirds of students its actually crazy

tip for fellow autistic people, if you’re telling someone about a trip you have to go on and they ask “is it like a fun thing or an obligation” the correct response in that instance is NOT “well it’s not like a funeral or anything”. That is not the question they are asking you
#Spoken by a guy who just had an awkward conversation with their English teacher#In which other people were watching and did laugh at me

Its crazy how much i text in english actually. Sometimes im typing some horrific brittish-american-internet slang text and i think well i don't actually talk like that but like. Would i? I don't talk english period. I have no reason to. Maybe i would fucking say that.
#next time i meet an english person im gonna use the word silly in conversation and shock myself#what if i call someone mate?#bro?#i haven't spoken english in a while maybe i do talk like that#language shit

#ask meme answers#beyondthebackup#ooc posts#the funnest part of this is going to be figuring out what F has evedyone saved as#I'm just nor gonna change mybtyoing mistakes for these#because F is typing most of this very much impaired#also F learned enough English to be coherent and pass English class and sometimes learns big words from movies#and then he gave up so don't expect him to type reasonably#and don't expect him to hold coherent conversations in Chinese or any other language spoken in Taiwan (there are several and F ia familiar#with alot of them) because he's just bad at language period

what era of godforsaken hairstyles does Jim's right hand man's cut come from bc it is not doing it for him
#film: pathaan#local gay watches Pathaan (and loses their sh*t while doing so).txt#local gay watches Bollywood.txt#i'm going to assume that was the point but my God someone save him#the cringe induced by seeing that on my screen was only slightly edged out by the cringe induced from the stereotypical broken English#spoken by the African extra during the conversation about Pathaan showing up to find Raafe#i love my people but we need to stop doing this to ourselves. we are enforcing beliefs at this point have pity on your own soul#and turn the roles down smh#anyway Bollywood stop leaning into the tropes about Africa challenge 2023 we'll see if it works
