こんにちは! Slowpoke and I are finally challenging ourselves by learning and self-studying Japanese! Taking it slow day by day 🇯🇵
I don’t want to eventually rely on Google Translate to communicate with my Japanese audience on Instagram and Twitter especially. 私の間違いを正すことを恐れないでください! (Please don't be afraid to correct my mistakes!) 🩷
I actually started learning a week ago using free online resources, but I got Genki to have more structure. My notebook is currently filled with practicing Hiragana, along with copying repeatedly to gain muscle memory. I’m also using Tofugu’s mnemonics to even help remember.
I’ve always had trouble learning a different language, and I’m passively bilingual. I can understand and read 40-50% of Tagalog due to my immigrant parents but I can barely speak/write it (despite living in the Philippines 🇵🇭 briefly as an exchange student for a few months in 2020 until Covid!)
By the way, feel free to follow me on Instagram (both my art and Slowpoke-centric accs) and Twitter. 👀
Hi Neil! This is kind of a silly question, regarding an ask you recently got. SInce you said you like the slang word "pookie", who would be more likely to call the other pookie, Crowley or Aziraphale? Sorry to bother you and thank you for your time and hard work.
I'm afraid I'm already way over "pookie". As Gen Z words go, it's really kind of four hours ago. Please do not use it again in my presence.
Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.
