europe is so interesting. they treat me like a cute kid, backpacking across europe at age 21. the next second they ask me why i'm responsible for gun violence in the united states.

#it's just so irritating #after my first night out in barcelona i introduced myself as peruvian exclusively #bc fjweiaofjreaogehw #they care sm abt american ex-pats gentrifying lisbon #(which is a problem) #but they don't care about literally any of the other clear as fucking day problems in their continent #i introduced myself as american #(texan moving to californian) #and then asked for my opinions on anti-queer laws; pro-gun laws; and why i still 'support' the country #i just happen to live therefjewiaofjreioag #this one parisian thought that we never learned abt the renaissance like #how much do u wanna bet they never learned abt any usa renaissances (harlem; french language rebirth in louisiana; etc) #cw: gun violence mention #gun #gun mention #so at least now i know i can't live in europe long-term #dash rambles #tonight is a night to think abt my spain speed-run #and then move on to portugal where hopefully they understand me #if it weren't for the tourism (english-speakers) i would've been in trouble in barcelona bc catalan doesn't sound as spanish-y as it reads

one thing I wish was better known is that if you want to learn a minoritized or “endangered” language as an outsider, the most important thing by far is to center the speaker community and find out what community activities are going on for language revitalization and IF the community is open to outsiders learning the language and on what terms! You may even get a variety of answers! The job is to listen! The important thing is that questions around this are SO specific and communty-contingent that no single post or tiktok will cover all situations! There are a lot of cases in which a speech community considers their language closed to outsiders! There are a lot of cases in which the community would like outsiders to learn their language - including cases where there is no assumed divide between insiders and outsiders in those who learn the language - to contribute to revitalization and reclamation efforts. There are a lot of cases where the answer is in the middle, or when different community members will feel differently. Don’t assume you have right to learn a language from a community you are not a part of. However, additionally, do not automatically assume that a speech community considers their language closed to those willing to learn respectfully and in cultural context

#I think it’s important to highlight that language minoritization and endangerment is inextricable from processes of genocide colonization #Poverty and assimilation #And that it exists literally everywhere #If you *want* to learn a minoritized language it *often* (but not always) is better received if it’s one in your area #Including indigenous and/or diasporic languages. Learn what was historically spoken in your area learn about language reclamation NOW #That being said there are some minoritized languages like Catalan and Welsh that are happy to have learners from anywhere #And goyim speaking Jewish languages respectfully makes me so happy!

roderich speaks excellent spanish but antonio's german is terrible that's the way it is unfortunately

#i'm sorry this is how it is #hws spain #hws austria #spaus #i think roderich has quite a strong accent he's never been able to quite get rid of #to make up for it his grammar and vocabulary and comprehension is excellent #but he did learn it in the 16th century so he speaks very old fashioned lispy fluttery castillian spanish dsfdgfdf #meanwhile antonio has like very basic conversational german and that's it #it's not because he's bad at other languages either!! this man speaks catalan portuguese italian neapolitan french and latin just to name a #few #but german defeats him

honestly I know I go on about this but being a suppressed language speaker makes you so protective over any other minority languages that have historically been discriminated against, no matter how far-flung you just feel a connection. i'm lucky to live in a culture that is extremely proud of and protective over its language that fortunately is now thriving, but the reality is not all communities have had the same opportunities and ability to preserve their languages as we've had. it's so important. every speaker counts. a language isn't only worthy of being studied and spoken if its "useful" on a global scale

#if i could download a language straight into my brain it would be welsh. then basque. idc about usefulness #i would love to learn welsh. so much. i am trying to work on pronunciation so i can at least read words aloud correctly #like if things had been different historically i might have spoken both welsh and catalan perfectly from birth #i'm fluent in catalan but it was always a struggle and ive put in a LOT of effort to get it to the level which its at now #my dads family straight up never spoke welsh at all. except my cousin bc she learnt it at school and was just good at it #edit- not from birth. u get what i mean

introducing myself

hello everyone! i came from langtwt so i’m new on langblr!! i guess i’ll also introduce myself on here 🐸 i’ve noticed posts are way longer here so i’ll sum everything up in the first paragraph but elaborate a little bit after that ☀️

— my name’s eva (she/her), i’m 22

— i’m from spain

— uni student

— i speak spanish, english and catalan 🇪🇸🇬🇧

— i’m learning french, mandarin, thai, korean and italian 🇫🇷🇨🇳🇹🇭🇰🇷🇮🇹

about me

as i said, my name’s eva and i’m a 22-year-old college student from spain :) i’m majoring in translation and interpreting so i study languages both as my degree/career and my hobby! i’ve started and stopped learning a lot of languages just for fun but i’m gonna stick with these five for a while!! that doesn’t mean i won’t put on pause/retake some of these languages depending on my situation, it just means i won’t take up new languages in the near future 🫡

languages

note before starting: both my life and my career goals have been changing drastically lately, which means my language journey is about to change a lot too. however as i have yet to figure it out, i’m just gonna talk about how i’ve been studying languages for the last few months and update when i finally figure out my new language plan :)

having said that:

🌳 spanish— native language

🌳 english— advanced

🌳 catalan (valencià to be specific)— i used to be advanced but i stopped using it and now it’s pretty rusty 😭

now, on to the languages i’m learning

🌿 french— probably intermediate/rusty upper intermediate

🌿 chinese (mandarin)— my golden child. probably around hsk3/4 (i’d say upper beginner though) but i can’t tell exactly. working on that

🌱 thai— beginner

🌱 korean— very beginner

🌱 italian— beginner

there’s a lot of languages i’d love to learn in the future (japanese, tagalog, swahili, vietnamese among others) but i’ve decided to focus and play around with these five languages until i reach my goals in all of them before starting any others

other socials

— twitter

— instagram

i love chatting!! i’m always happy to meet new people but it does take me a while to see messages sometimes! corrections are welcome, my dms are open, if you need help with spanish let me know! and i think that’s all 🫂🤍

hey followers/mutuals hispanohablantes: any spanish-language music recs? pueden ser artistas o canciones específicas, me da igual el género, lo único que importa es que canten en español (porque quiero añadirlas a una lista que reproduzco en clase para mis estudiantes, busco recomendaciones porque no quiero que llegue a ser repetitiva)

#admittedly theres catalan songs on there too bc im trying to subliminally convince my students to learn catalan lmao #but u know. its mostly spanish #also. si hay un error aquí no me digas me desperté a las 7 nadie me puede juzgar

[transboysgetknives]

The University of Grenoble (France) is planning to remove Catalan classes from its curriculum next year. The students are organising this campaign to ask the university to keep it. Help them by signing this petition!

yesterday i was thinking that if i don't get into any phd program by the end of the year and i switch to focusing on studying oposiciones to work at a museum i will try and learn some catalan to get the c1.

#basically my plan for next year is: if i get into the phd i will be living abroad which is scary but i'll be doing a phd which :) #if i don't. i will try to get into a phd next year but that will become my plan b #my plan a will become studying oposiciones and going to conferences / writing papers / studying languages / anything to engross my cv #i was thinking of also trying to get the official tour guide license so i can work as that in the meantime but for what i saw in madrid #the last call for the exams to get it were in 2017. so that's fun #i'll also want to try another official language exam. probably french cause that's the language i know most after english. #and then. i could also try and get the c1 of catalan cause i don't mind moving to another autonomous community to work in a museum #like i am open to state autonomic and local museums. they just have to be historical / ethnological / archaeological #my dream would actually be to work at centros de interpretación in archaeological sites but i don't know if they fall under the 'museum' #denomintation or if they are another thing i'd had to study for #and a c1 in catalan opens up my possibilities in three new autonomic communities #it's also the cooficial language i know the best. and also valencia (and more specifically alacant province) is like. on my top 3 list of #preferred destinations. cause i know pretty well the province so i think i wouldn't be so anxious moving there #and there's family and friends so i won't feel so alone i think #anyways. this is all hypothetical. but yeah #oh!!! i almost forgot!!! #if all of this happens i also want to try learning pottery ^_^ #there's a pottery workshop next door to my therapist office so i would most likely go there hehe #i'm happy cause i'm excited both to live abroad and do a phd and to stay here and study a bunch of things so. regardless of what happens #these next few months until 2024... next year is garanteed to be better than 2023. for sure

i would say this on the other hellsite (twitter) but i dont feel like getting hate from randos so ill just say it here. but the fact that im not a native aragonese speaker BUT ive inherited a lot of aragonese words (maybe a few more than the average zaragozano would) along with catalanisms has still made me experience a discrimination of sorts. nothing like the stories of kids getting beat up at school for speaking aragonese or getting scolded by teachers for "not speaking correctly" but i have experienced shame from saying words that a few decades ago were much more common. classmates have laughed at me for "speaking weird" when it was just words in aragonese. i have also been ridiculed bc of my (aragonese) name... you literally dont have to be an aragonese speaker to know or understand the shame that aragonese speakers have gone through

#basically what im trying to say is that if its happened TO ME with a few words that ive heard at home #how do people think others havent gone through worse (rhetorical question: they were part of the ones making fun) #and yes the laughing at me for speaking a certain way was not only bc of learned aragonese words but also speaking catalan at home #+ learning english at a young age so ive always had a jumble of languages in my mind #BUT STILL. these past few yrs where ive been way more aware of aragonese i have still been laughed at or had a remark of 'you speak weird' #when i say words like boira instead of niebla. or ababol instead of amapola. #z xarre
