#advanced french

[hi-i-am-a-sock]

code switching is great because one moment everyone can understand you and the next la frase gets totalmente incompréhensible for tout le mundo except ton cerebro y on ne peut hacer anything about ça

#it's quite an exaggerated example but it makes it even funnier #language learning #langblr #languages #polyglot #studyblr #memes #french #spanish #code switching #my beloved #sorry in advance to those who don't speak french and spanish (←is not sorry at all)

PLS #I WILL PAY YOU REAL MONEY #SEND ME UR CASHAPP ILL EVEN MAKE AN ADVANCE PAYMENT #lowkey if no one else does it i'll suck it up and attempt to render navia's hat. i've just been avoiding genshin outfits like the plague #they should swap outfits too while they're at it #french aristocrat chuuya and mafia executive navia #(isnt spina de rosula kinda the mafia though?????? NAVIA AND CHUUYA PARALLELS???????) #i want them to meet now #they'd drink expensive coffee from a fancy french cafe and talk shit abt the government together #lotus’s asks

I believe Theo not only can speak french, but is even MORE fluent in reading french than english. The Doctors may have talked to him in both languages but I bet most of their books and notes were in french and Theo got used to only reading in this language

#all of this to say that theo barely got Cs in English class #he was the slowest reader #and i don’t think he knew half the authors they had to study lmao #on the other hand he was in advanced French class and often corrected the teacher #also #Liam looses his mind every time theo speaks in French #even if he knows very well Theo is just insulting him #i love thinking about these silly things #headcanons are my best friends #imma give the bilingual struggle to every one of my fav characters #i have this whole fic where after 6B Theo and Isaac become bff and ends up living together in France #theo raeken #(I missed talking about my boy) #teen wolf #thiam #(this whole post is kinda influenced by Emotional by MalloryMadeIt which I strongly recommend)

Doing a translation and would need an opinion from english speakers (bcs it's not my language)

Which sentence seems more natural to you?

"Do his shoulders not stiffen?"

or "Are his shoulders not stiff?"

(The context is people talking about someone who has a hunched back)

#ty in advance bcs translating from japanese to english is always a double exercice for me since I'm french lol #personal

Decided to try and utilise the incredible power of beloved Tumblr mutuals to help me decide which quote to use for the preface of my thesis

Quote A

Quote B

Both sound so beautiful! The topic is broadly the role of self-esteem in 18th century mental health/therapeutical practice if that's any help

#yes I'm a very decisive person #thanks in advance! x #already bothering a lot of people I know irl with it #feel free to just go with the vibes #history #18th century #1700s #thesis #thesis era #émil #émilie du châtelet #french history #philosophy #french philosophy #happiness #quotes #poll #tumblr polls

NAPOWRIMO24 #10: Femme Fatale

#prompt: write a poem based on one of the headlines/other journalistic tidbits from (tumblr's very own) yesterday's print. #this is based on a snippet from a 1930 article: ''don't feel flattered when a woman makes advances. she may just want somebody to help- #kill her husband." honestly truer words were never spoken. this one is a lil silly (my rhyming poems usually are) but that felt right today #this is a French form of poetry called a dizain where you do 10 lines of 10 syllables w a ababbccdcd rhyme scheme. new to me. #that wasn't part of the prompt today i just felt like doing a new thing #napowrimo 2024 #napowrimo #spilled ink #silly poetry #poetry #poems on tumblr #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #writeblr #damien.txt #image description in alt

i am so sleepy. but i have social commitment. but i am SO sleepy. but social commitment.

#i went on 2 hour ‘run’ and turned down a japanese diplomats advances and #became friends with a french diplomat and saw my friend a turkish diplomat 🥺 #it was nice but then i 😴 and now i have another commitment 😭

So funny that I refuse to be secret history-ed by one of the professors at my school just because I don’t like that his work is inspired by mid century figurative painters.

#literally last semester he found me in the studios and personally invited me to his 6 hour advanced painting class #like he hand picks a few students each year and they come out of my school painting just like him #I watched one of my classmates destroy a painting on his Instagram because ‘the old man’ told him to #what is going on #why can’t the secret history guy at my school do French academy painting tbh. #I hate the vast majority of modern art

it is so incredibly hard to not book/organise things prematurely for my move bc i don’t want to accidentally send post to my airbnb way early before my stay BUT ALSO GOD !!!!!! I WANT TO SORT THINGS

#i need to get a new phone bill but i know i can sort that out much much closer to the time #there’s like admin stuff i desperately want to do #it’s happening so soon #3 weeks!!!! #i have to do the last clearing up once i’m home #and then it’s like. packing #i also have to buy some things which is fine but i also can’t do that until im home #i also tried to call my gp and i think bc im not in the uk my calls r bouncing >:( #which means i don’t have a huge amount of time to organise getting an advance on my medicine #i booked french classes though !!! #and my trains to see my brother #and when i get home from here ill be back on the job search #altho lll start doing that again over the next few days

my coloc complimented me on my pronunciation today and i'm like :"")

#he is also learning french so i'll take his compliment but ik my accent is still obviously foreign (imo at least) -_-'' :P #but tbh even when i speak in english my accent is v neutral so i guess it helps when i speak other languages?? idk #but he was like 'damn wait have you ever taken lessons before?' #and i said sorta yeah but none of them were very intense and i didn't see improvement solely from them NOR was speaking emphasised a lot #due to time restrictions #and he was like 'so how do you work on your pronunciation/accent??' #and i was like 'i just speak and if it sounds wrong i fix it' but like i listen to a lotta francophone music and watch a lotta french film #so i guess it does influence how i speak?? #he was like 'wow if you're already like this in just six weeks of intense classes you'll advance so quickly' #i was like 🙈🙈🙈 #ik it doesn't work like that for me but hey it was sweet of him to say <3 and hey maybe he is right! i should believe in myself a little #roacc

Managed to work more today ! i'm still not up to where i wanted to be (which is the same place that i hoped to be at sunday evening last week...) but i managed to advance quite well one thing, and i have a better view of what is left / what i need to do. Most importantly this also calmed down the anxiety quite a bit with geting my brain some 'look i'm doing something about it, chill with the signals'

#3615 my life #work tag #got very tired in the early evening and retreated to bed when i felt i would just hurt myself if i tried to continue #you know where you don't manage to do anything but still use time so you neither advanced nor rested #managed to wash my hair shower and eat and if i brush teeth now i'll have nearly 7h sleep this works #tomorrow before going home i'll make a quick detour to see the blooming prunus trees they planted this year near me #i know i'm privileged re: my work #compared to other people #but also i'm french and complaining is a national pastime and i need to exteriorise more so. #good luck to all the workers for tomorrow !

Those YouTube uploads of French Sonic Boom episodes used to be an absolute godsend tbh. Had no idea what was going on but at least I got to see Shadow before I was supposed to.

#does anyone else remember the hype for shadow's appearance in boom lmao #the desperation to see episode 52 months in advance omg #i can't remember the wait between french and english release actually #i think it was a month? #dude this was like 7 years ago i can't remember #shadow the hedgehog #sonic boom
