Worst interaction ever dropped: girl who called me shotabait just told me she can speak English, Finnish, Japanese and Korean and so I asked her to say something in one of those languages, as is customary when someone claims to speak a language that isn't their first language

She shot back with "Konnichiwa! Watashi wa namu Hana-chan!! Anata Alfie-desu!!!!" In a shitty anime girl voice. (She didn't say Alfie but I'm not putting my name on here)

Funniest part was she heavily pronounced "su" in "desu"

#ouuurgh #like. no shame to people who are still learning languages #im still learning asl!! #its okay to not be perfect!!! #but do not claim youre perfectly fluent when you are. not #it makes you look silly #i took japanese for like sixish months and i could easily tell where she messed up #that tells me she is not fluent in the slightest #textpost #ouuuurghhhhhhhhhhh

Inside me are two wolves and one of them says "you took Japanese in high school, you should keep that up and take this spin-off novel as a challenge to push you to pick it back up" and the other says "that's going to take FOREVER to get good enough with to actually be able to read the bitch just put it through a translator" and then the first side says "but auto-translators are hit-or-miss with accuracy, or did you want another visit of sir Drug Dealer with his magical Marijuana Sword?" and then the second side says "it'll be close enough! Probably! And you need more than hiragana to read this, you just do!"

Conclusion: send help please

#mononoke anime #i can read kusuriuri! that's gotta be enough! #(it is absolutely nowhere close to enough) #i tried putting it through ichigo translator but it was leaving large swathes of the page untranslated which is...less than helpful #anyway if any of yall are fluent enough in japanese to get a fan translation in the works faster than i can speedrun duolingo #i will literally pay you to help a starving desperate bitch out #and it doesnt help that im like #'oh ive been getting better at reading mandarin hanzi and there does seem to be a lot of overlap should be a breeze' #but the overlap isn't 100% so i cant trust that just because i recognize a character i can actually figure out the meaning #and it doesnt matter anyway because im only recognizing like 1 or 2 kanji per line

i hate being mediocre in languages i get genuine language fatigue when speaking japanese or spanish and anyway this is a really long winded way of saying that a lot of my relatives only speak japanese or spanish and I wear clown shoes the entire time

#sei rants #vent #kinda #it makes me feel dumb that I’m only fluent in English… #like there is NO reason I shouldn’t be fluent in all 3 #plus so many of my friends are half like me #but they’re all fluent #im the only one too dumb fr!!!! #whenever I’m hanging out with my Spanish speaking friends and I’m barely keeping up LOL #this is just on my mind a lot bc I moved to japan for a bit #and my japanese makes me feel so pathetic

#kuchiki rukia #shiba kaien #bleach fanart #rukia kuchiki #kaien shiba #ok well i had this queued up but tumblr fuckin ate it so if this ends up posting twice uh sorry? #bleach #well anyways it's a nice song that seemed to fit so i made some fanart ^^ #some other lyrics i debated putting in the description but ultimately held back on: #君がいた場所も息も熱も知らない、知らないと破り捨てる #the place where you were your breath and your warmth i dont know anything about them #i dont know anything about them so i tore them up and threw them away #僕を引き裂いた青が叫んでいる//the blue that tore me up was screaming #戻れはしない時の中で見えない君はただ、透明だ//in a time from which there is no return the you who cant be seen was just transparent #also general disclaimer im not a native speaker of japanese nor would i be considered fluent by most metrics #so like take my translations with a grain of salt #maki_art

Maybe it’s my own weird fascination with animals overlapping with my interest in language but the various ways I know how to say 🐐

please reply or reblog with your sona species in different languages! I’d love to learn something new!

#Aries #goat #furry #language? #Hindi #japanese #im not super fluent in either #I have like a 3rd grade understanding okay so like be nice if my hiragana or Hindi script is awful ;w;

i know tanabata was a month ago...but there's no time limit on my feelings

#art #2023 #fanart #disclaimer im not fluent in japanese and had about 30 tabs up to figure out how to write this sentence #so i apologise if its a bit clunky haha #but his wish says 'i want to find my place' :') #the key being that the word 'place' here can be read as 'place that i belong' or 'place that i am free to be myself' #sobs #ugh i rly love him #i will draw him again its rare i just wanna sit and draw a canon character instead of my ocs haha #genshin impact #scaramouche #the wanderer

Do you write your fics in english right away, or do you maybe make some parts/entire chapter in french?

English is my mother tongue so I am generally writing my drafts in English! <3

#gitm au #ghost in the machine au #asks answered #I'm not fluent enough in french/welsh/japanese to draft whole chapters in them but Im flattered by the ask ^^ #ciw

[babala-chongya]

Yoruichi is somali because I know she speaks Arabic it was once revealed to me in a dream

Akon is manchu but nobody knows because he doesn't care what others think of it (although that would imply he'd have that weird ass qing dynasty hairstyle with one singular lock of hair on the back of his head, look it up. I try to avoid thinking about it, he'd look like feyd rautha)

Ikkaku is at least somewhat chinese. Idk im biased maybe. But his bankai is literally a dao cmon

#bleach #bleach headcanons #considering that everybody who dies has to go to soul society the racial composition of it has to be very diverse seiretei doesn't reflect #it well but maybe they need to speak fluent Japanese to enroll idk also Christians have portrayed the afterlife for all humanity according #their mostly European worldview (im talking white Christians) let others have fun #also sui feng literally has a Chinese name and tosen is 100 either black or possibly Polynesian although idk if they have suxh hairstyles #basically. being non Japanese in gotei is possible so i have hcs about it

[primeministerofantarctica]

does anyone know why miri's name is written in katakana. i can understand her using kana to label her stuff since she's like four but i would've thought she'd use hiragana?

#idk i just think its interesting #im not a fluent japanese speaker but ik katakana is used for foreign names (which. miri doesnt sound like a foreign name ?) #astra rambles #buddy daddies

[abysslll]

i could just get a job as a translator tbh

#after a few more years of learning (and after the exchange trip im gonna do like next year) im gonna be basically fluent in japanese #i feel so at home when im writing in it #i dont wanna be a translator as a permanent job or anything but god. just as a side gig or something (<- does not know how jobs work. is th #t even plausible) #anyway. just late night musings #i got over being depressed now im just doing my japanese homework so i can focus on my regular school tomorrow

[chocolate-eclaire]

I finally figured out how to make an account to purchase both viewings of the phantom blood musical 🥳

#im gonna watch it tonight hehe #and the other viewing tomorrow #personal post #delete later #I'm obviously not gonna understand what they're saying cus im not fluent in japanese lmao #but i should sort of know what's happening since i read the manga for part 1

[kirbychar]

Hehe i lovee being multilingual i love being able to understand several languages and i never want to stop learning more

#my handwriting is shit in any language #chrollo lucilfer #hxh #hxh fanart #chrollo fanart #im just starting in greek and working on getting fluent in Spanish #but should i become quadrilingual japanese would be it lol

[volfoss]

my horrible cheap guy nature is that like. this project would go infinitely faster in a few areas if i had a physical japanese to eng dictionary. but i am incredibly stubborn so i just. borrow one off of the internet archive anytime i need it. this is a massive pain for me specifically but i refuse to buy one

#twist rambles #like. its specifically the kanji that trips me up. ジェイラス kept translating to jairus or jellus and then when i actually GOT the mission #(its part of a mission title for context) google translate was like ohhh sorry its actually translating to jealous. so now i get to go and #check the kanji. again this would go so much faster if i knew japanese. but i stay silly and love to bang my head against the wall 5 millio #times to get thru this. like im versed in bad machine translation and making it well. actually make sense. so its not TOO bad but in cases #like this? i WISH i knew jp or knew someone fluent in both that could help lmao
