Rec'd on 🤨 Slays, what language should i dedicatE myself to?? 🤨

I’m bad at learning western languages I think it’s remembering the gender of random objects like oh ok apples are boys. English doesn’t have that. Japanese doesn’t have that. And as an English speaker it’s kind of fun to do the puzzle of where what words go where. Maybe try Japanese it’s not the most practicable but that’s a boring way to choose

Learning a new language

So good for your brain! its like a fun puzzle and challenge. It doesn’t even matter if it’s something “””useful””” , language is just super cool!!

some language resources can be faulty because they cater too much to the audience’s language

I restarted learning Japanese again and someone sent me a Youtube playlist of someone explaining sentence structures. They prefaced the series by saying that the reason you have struggled for so long is that they keep trying to teach Japanese in English ways, when in reality their language structures are completely different. She then started to explain the particles and it turns out my understanding of “wa” (は actually “ha”) was not really correct, they explained its true form, and everything clicked for me.

Bunpo is great

Fun fact I took four years of Japanese in high school up to the AP level not in a weeaboo way 💅 I prefer Bunpo to Duolingo for refreshing and maintaining proficiency. Apparently they also have Spanish, Korean, French, German, and Chinese!

Be uncomfortable

Being comfortable is nice when it’s a reward but as a state of being it’s boring and makes you boring and a boring life is a waste of whatever this is supposed to be. Go be uncomfortable (me talking to me)

Koyaanisqatsi

A wordless semi-doc about the evolution of the world through the lens of industrial “progress” scored brilliantly to Phillip Glass being as glass-ian as possible. So. Good.
