LANGBLR ACTIVATION CHALLENGE: WEEK ONE

Hi, there! I think I’ve never done an introduction post, so here it goes!

(You can find everything about the Langblr Activation Challenge a few posts ago on my blog, or simply click here )

Name: I’m Malena (Mah - Leh - Nah), but everyone calls me Male :-) (She/Her)

Age: I’m twenty years old, my birthday is on December 31st

Nationality: I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. As of today, I have never left the country.

School? : Yes! There’s no minors or mayors or whatever you guys have in other countries, so I’ll do my best to explain myself lol.

I’m getting a teaching degree in literature. It’s a five years long plan (It’s going to take me longer than that, and I’m dealing with that). It will allow me to teach Spanish grammar AND literature in high school but also colleges and future literature teachers.

Native Language: Spanish

Also fluent in: English! that’s it. I started studying English at school when I was nine, but I didn’t take it too seriously until a few years ago. I know it's not perfect yet but I’m super proud being able to carry full conversations with native speakers and read complete books in English :´)

I’ve been studying Hawaiian for a year or so, with many ups and downs. I’m not very good at it just YET but I’m really into fully learning the language. I would love to meet more people learning Hawaiian, so if you’re doing so, let me know, so we can be study buddies! :-) Also, if you were considering studying Hawaiian, this is your sign!! 

I study Latin and Greek in college, more focused on the translation of old texts that in fluency, which I really enjoyed!  I’m taking another greek class this semester and I can’t wait to see what’s coming.

I’ve been really interested in learning Romanian and Icelandic recently, but I’m trying to reach some fluency in Hawaiian first :-)

Other stuff: I love writing and reading (follow me on Goodreads!). I also love movies, especially superhero movies (I’ve talked about this before, Marvel is my life and I’m always happy to talk about the movies, the trailers, anything :-) )

 If I could live anywhere, I would probably go to New York. I hope to at least visit NYC one day :) and Hawaii, of course. 

My obsession with languages started a few years ago when I learned about polyglots for the first time. I’ve always been into translation and always thought to be able to speak more that one language was really badass. This is all a work in progress so I thought having a blog would help me have some consistency. 

I think that’s all!! Let’s be friends! follow so be can share more language stuff :-)

Diverse music in Spanish tag

@goazen and I would like to present an idea for Langblr.

Practically all the songs in Spanish posted in langblr are reggaeton, and we think we should make it more diverse so people who like different music genres can enjoy too and so people can see more of the different cultures of the Spanish speaking countries.

So what do we do?

Post a song in Spanish that is NOT reggaetón. The post should include the lyrics in Spanish and a translation to English. And tag it  #música diversa en castellano challenge so we all can find it!

Who can participate?

Everyone is welcome to contribute, especially native Spanish speakers from all the countries. But if you are a learner and would like to share a song you like, feel free to join as well!

Thank you for your interest and collaboration!

La gran mayoría de las canciones en castellano que hay en Langblr son de reggaetón, y creemos que deberíamos compartir música más diversa para que las personas a quienes les gustan otros estilos musicales también lo puedan disfrutar, y para que se pueda apreciar música de las diferentes culturas de los países hispanohablantes.

¿Qué hacemos?

Sube una canción en castellano que NO sea de reggaetón. El post debería incluir la letra en castellano y traducida al inglés. Y etiquétalo con #música diversa en castellano challenge para que podamos encontrarla!

¿Quién puede participar?

Todxs quienes quieran pueden participar, especialmente hablantes nativos de todos los países. Pero si estás aprendiendo castellano y quieres compartir una canción que te guste, ¡adelante!

¡Muchas gracias por vuestro interés y colaboración!

Why are we like this 😭

Every time I do a lesson on Duolingo I start thinking "This isn't fair, I'm only answering correctly because I know the answers"

...then I remember that that's the point 😂

[stuckatmyhouse12]

HEY TUMBLR? HEY TUNBO? WHERE ARE MY FUCKING SHITPOSTS TONGBLR???? THEY KEEP GETTING EATEN BY YOUR NONSENSE TINGBOAT??!???

[budgiepunk]

Like, I fucking hate those posts that talk about how “YOU COULD EASILY BLOCK THAT ARTIST. IF YOU DON’T JUST BLOCK THAT ARTIST IT’S SHOWING YOUR INCOMPETENCE USING THE INTERNET” or some stupid shit like that bc 9 times out of 10 those people are lumping in “artists who some ppl don’t like” and “artists who are legitimately bad people”

Like I’m sorry you’re too into thinking you’re Correct all the time about how Sensitive Tongblr Is, but there’s a difference between

A) “I don’t like how Madssnorkle draws noses so I’m not interested in his work”

B) “Madssnorkle is a big baby and I don’t like his attitude, so I’m just gonna blacklist him or something bc his work sucks and he sucks too” 

and fucking, 

C) “Madssnorkle killed my grandma and then called me a dipshit to my face, so I’m going to tell everyone what he did so people will stop supporting such a bad person” 

Bad folks are bad folks, no matter what they do with their lives.

that's you. you just. described yourself at the end of that. you have the top notch dunmer content.

all I’m going to say is that idea that Dunmer Tumblr is only interested in dunmer bc of their visual aesthetics and don’t give a fuck about the culture/politics/etc of morrowind is so fucking dumb and condescending it amazes me it even has to be disputed. so whatever dude big props to my dunmer mutuals who make top notch Superb art/writing/hcs/etc and are out there always makin it happen.
