Pride month is about to hit the west coast and I thought I’d make a little list of the word “pride” in a bunch of different languages. I hate that I need to explain it but y’all know how people be so uh obviously I don’t speak all these languages I used a translator for the VAST majority of these and if there are some mistakes please make me aware and I can fix it ASAP! I know the word may be different in some languages in the context of “LGBT/Gay Pride” (many languages use the English term or other terms that are separate from just a direct translation of pride) and I will correct them if there is a better term but it’s hard to directly translate into so many languages!!

[fremmedsprak]

ok random but anywAY I was wondering if a lot of people in Montréal speak french and how they react when non natives speak french to them? because I may be going in a year or two!! Idk if you're from Montreal but I'm dying to know

hey! :)

i don’t live in montreal and i’ve only been there like less than 10 times in my life so i’m not 100% sure.. but i think at least 50% speak french as their native language (actually hoping it’s more than that) and maybe like a total of 60-70% speak a certain level of french? maybe? but like 8/10 times i went there people spoke french to me at first (6/8 they sounded like native french speakers, 2/8 like english speakers speaking french) so i’m pretty sure the majority speaks french (the other 2/10 times i was in english neighbourhoods so i understand why they spoke english to me at first but it still made me a bit annoyed (hope that doesn’t make me sound like an asshole))

but to answer your question: if you end up speaking french to a french speaker, they’ll probably be happy, BUT they will hear your accent and there’s like a 90% chance they’ll switch to english. but if you keep speaking french, they’ll switch back to french and i’m pretty sure they’ll be glad you’re trying to speak their language (i know i would be)! but then again montreal is a pretty bilingual city so i really don’t know how people perceive other people trying to speak french (i mean i’m from a smaller but quite big city where 95% of the population speaks french and i get really happy when non-natives speak french to me and kind of meeh when english speakers ONLY speak english to me, for example without saying “bonjour” or asking if i speak english (because yes not everyone speaks english and anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you big time)).

lastly (sorry my answer got long :////) if you end up speaking french to an english speaker i have absolutely no idea how they’ll react.. i’m guessing if it’s someone working in retail or in restaurants they’ll either a) switch to french because they’re probably used to switching between french and english, b) keep speaking english because they’ll hear your accent, or c) keep speaking english because they don’t speak french (which has happened to me in the past)

hope that was an okay answer!

#if that wasn't clear feel free to send me another ask or a message #but then again i don't go too often to montreal and so i don't know that much about it #gayforlangs #answered

@gayforlangs replied to your post: I’M TIRED in French

what does i am bushed mean ive never heard of that in my life… is bush even a verb im confucian

According to The Phrase Finder, it’s an American term from the 19th century meaning “tired from walking in the bushes (i.e. woods) all day”, where bushes is hypothesized to be from Dutch settlers referring to the wilderness, somewhat corroborated here.

11 questions tag

Sorry, I got tagged in this ages ago but I’ve had a really busy couple of weeks so I haven’t been on Tumblr much. Tagged by @lustforlanguages - thank you!

Rules: answer 11 questions then make 11 of your own. Include the rules in your post.

My answers:

1) What first got you into languages?

Honestly, idk. I’ve been interested in them for as long as I can remember but I only really started learning a language in high school.

2) If you could choose one language to be fluent (without needing to study), what would it be?

Probably Mandarin, because I don’t know if I could ever learn as many characters otherwise, and it would help me learn other languages like Japanese or Cantonese.

3) Do you plan moving to a country where they speak your/one of your target language?

Yep - I’m actually going to France on exchange in about a week :)

4) Besides languages, what else do you like?

Chocolate (actually all sweet foods)

5) Do you prefer self study or classes?

Probably classes (although depends on the class)

6) How would you describe the country you live?

Problematic but relatively decent

7) What’s your favorite season?

Spring

8) Do you intend to work with something related to languages?

Idk... maybe

9) What’s your fav movie?

Probably Frozen

10) Do you prefer coffee or tea?

TEA

11) What’s your fav music in the moment?

Probably the whole Hamilton soundtrack ahaha... also maybe Requiem by Alma?

My questions:

1. If you had to learn 2 languages at the same time, would you rather they be very similar or very different?

2. Would you ever learn a fictional language (like Klingon or Elvish)?

3. Do you have a favourite foreign-language version of a Disney song?

4. What do you usually find harder, grammar or pronunciation?

5. Are there any languages that you would never consider learning?

6. Have you ever eavesdropped on people speaking your target language(s)?

7. What language sounds most beautiful to you?

8. What language’s writing system do you like best?

9. What language is your phone in?

10. Have your language skills ever been unexpectedly useful?

11. What is something you like about your native language(s)?

I tag @naomisfrench, @mostly-monolingual, @bonbonlanguage, @la-linguistique, @welovelanguages, @langblr-life, @gayforlangs, @barbarastudiess, @nightlangblr, @lucylangblr and @woailanguages. Sorry if you’ve already been tagged! Also feel free to ignore
