i find it so cool to notice that like non-native speakers making mistakes in their second language tells you about the grammar and vocab of their native language like that's so cool to me.
like i can only pull up confident examples from french bc i learned that one but like etoiles saying "watch the chests" instead of "look at/in the chests" is because in french i imagine he'd use the verb "regarder" which does translate to "to watch" but also can be used when we in english would say "to look"!!!!!! that's cool!!!!! and sometimes i'll hear the french saying along the lines of "wait me" bc that's the grammar for it in french!!! "attends-moi" is "wait for me" they just don't say "for" it's cool!!!!!! wow!!!!! i fucking love that i think that's so fucking neat bc i know that I MADE that mistake in the other direction, bc on an assignment i wrote "attendez pour moi" bc we say for in english!!!!!!!! and it was wrong!!!! and it's cool!!!!!! it's cool that i can pick up things about other languages even when they're not speaking the other languages!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!! like when spanish speakers start english sentences with "is" bc that's how it works in spanish!!!!!! that's so cool!!!!!! they don't need "it" in spanish and hearing y'all say that is like wow!!!! i'm learning things about how spanish sentences work even though it's not even in spanish!!!!! holy shit!!!!!!!
i know i've noticed more things from the other languages too but i can't remember any of them now bc my spanish is "69 days on duolingo" and my brazilian portuguese is "meu deus" but if anyone else has noticed please!!!!! tell me!!!!! it's so cool!!!!!!
(as an aside this is not to knock or mock anyone for being bad at a second language i just think it is FUCKING FASCINATING i am giggling i am kicking my feet i think it is so cool it is so fucking dope language and language learning is so cool)

really enjoy listening to language learning podcasts that are trying really hard to make it fun and engaging to learn a language through a recorded lesson with like two people in the room. im learning some italian and one of the guys was like "adjectives? love em"

something very cute about english is how "audio" and "video" both seem like they could be abbreviations of longer, more technical english words, but in actuality they're just the latin words for "i hear" and "i see"

"Mouth" is one of those words that looks more and more fake the longer you look at it
Anyway Little Zuko Book Two is now officially named "Of Appas and Honor (and Mouth Grass)"

And the thing you're gonna learn about my property is people don't touch my property unless I say so. So everywhere you go, I'll be a few steps behind. When you think that you're all alone, don't worry - I got your back, homie. And I'm going to deliver the very best MJF to Nassau Coliseum, and then I'm going to beat you unmerciful, strangle you unconscious, and take your world championship in front of your friends, family, everyone you know and love.

things that seto kaiba is almost certainly bad at:
singing
playing literally any kind of instrument
learning languages (i will concede that he can read and write well in "business" languages like Chinese or English but a uvular r would kill him and also you can speak well enough to get through a meeting but that doesn't mean you're conversationally adept!!!)
dancing (a man with negative rhythm)
casual conversation
picking his own outfits
speaking in an inside voice

OP’s original clip just had Mew’s dialogue, but I wanted to see Top/Force’s reaction to see if he knew Book was going to say “…before we fucked.” From the bts we can see that sometimes the actors improv their dialogue after getting feedback/direction from Jojo and Ninew on how they want the scene to go. And I was not disappointed because Force’s smile does quirk up more, ever so slightly. The real give away though is when he pauses to relax his face before his next line. Delightful.

actually my favorite brazilian slang is just how we turned the joker into a verb. a self-explanatory act. it's not 'i'm turning into the joker', it's 'eu estou coringando' -> 'i'm jokering'

insanely exciting to me to hear the baby's grammar developing in real time
he said to a ball he was tossing towards a jar "go into the jar"
then when he successfully tossed it in he said "it went into the jar"
and when he unsuccessfully tossed it he said "it not--" and then paused and corrected himself-- "it didn't go into the jar"
