It's always such a relief to find out I can still read and understand Japanese. I've seen posts a few times by people in their 40s and older who talk about how as you get older you lose hobbies and interests. I used to be very passionate about language learning; I guess in place of art for many years it kept me going. I've wanted to be a polyglot since I was 14 and Japanese was the first language I chose to learn. And I did, I studied pretty diligently in my free time since 2013. Becoming a translator was a big goal of mine; Another one of those goals that was just kinda made impossible by circumstance because I either didn't have the money, time, or access to a school or qualifying course. Now its 2025 and its been probably a year since I last picked up a book in Japanese. I think I've been scared to make time for it because language skills are finicky and its disheartening to find out you've regressed. But I picked up a book from my shelf, sat down with a dictionary, and was able to read the prologue with relative ease. I only had to look up maybe 10 words in 5 pages. Realistically, its not like 10 years of work will just disappear in 1 year. But still, I'm grateful. I hope I can make more time for it again.

Something, something, about that writing prompt of the hero being badly hurt, and the only place he can go for help is to the villain's lair.

Once the hero reaches the villain's door the first thing he says is "Who did this to you?" In a threatening way.

And all of this for SefiKura! Yes.

English has so many colorful ways to say it's raining heavily — like: "It's bucketing down" "It's coming down in buckets" "It's pouring" Curious what these mean and how to use them? Check the sheet below for clear definitions and example sentences!

Stay dry out there!

It’s very kind of people I speak other languages with to assume that my slow comprehension and endless requests for repetition are as a result of us not speaking my first language, when in reality, my auditory processing is just complete shit.

Funny time to come to the realization that all the best art and materials conservation graduate programs in the US are in NYC and like four years long. But also it probably won’t be any less scary to be a future Jew in Seattle in the next few years than in NYC, ppl here are insufferable. Idk

I have two question for the ability of perseverance! Ink.

One, Can he copy other's abilities just by imagining it with his broomie? Like, gaster blasters or bone attacks.

And two, can he also teleport using broomie? Since canon ink can teleport between universes and stuff.

(I don't think my English is that good forgive me)

H m m. These are interesting questions.

I suppose he could? Broomie's limitations are mostly limited on the user's creativity and mental fortitude, which basically means the user's own mental ability to conjure and maintain said spell. So, Ink could certainly try to copy other's abilities; just his low confidence and perfectionism may hinder his ability to maintain that spell for long or to even try it in the first place out of fear. It may also be inaccurate, as his knowledge of how something like a gaster blaster works would be lacking.

No. I decided to get rid of the ability for Ink and Error to teleport like their canon selves to make more sense. It would be kind of a sucky story if Ink could solve his entire issue of getting home by just teleporting with Broomie XD I also made it so they could not teleport like Dust because I wanted the "teleport" magic to be a relatively rare one in general. Dust can only teleport short distances himself, or to where he can generally see clearly. This alone makes it overpowered, as Dust can clear large gaps or cliffs as long as he knows where he will be landing is a safe one ✧˖°.

Being multilingual is constantly being confronted with the fact that you don’t know a basic word in one of the languages you speak.

Yesterday, while returning from the store, I realized I couldn’t remember the English word for the object I had just bought. This object may have been one of the first English words I learned in school and yet I couldn’t remember it no matter how hard I tried. The best I came up with was ‘tubular adhesive’. I had bought a glue stick.

wait wait wait i have a fellow sufferer(texas resident) as my mutual?!??(bringing this up because you mentioned the STAAR(which i think is a texas thing))

so i have to take an english course at my uni to be eligible for nursing (not sure what being able to read or write dramas or poetry has to do with being a nurse but 🤷‍♀️) and i am lowkey panicking about it

not only do i need an english, i have to do well in it too. my grades from the 10 required “pre-professional” courses are what my admission to nursing hinges on

and i am the worst writer ever. i struggle to express myself with words and honestly if there’s no inspiration then i am unable to write anything. all of my previous university essays were written either by forcing myself through an excruciating process of “i hate this but have no other option to write about” or they were written in near-manic frenzies because i had too much to say about my chosen topic. there is no in between

i have a friend with an english degree who said she’d help me through it. but she’d be most useful if i take the dramas class, but not gonna lie i’m more intrigued by the narratives. just because it would mean studying books that i tend to gravitate towards when reading. still anxious as hell about the composition part though… i truly have no desire to be a writer in any capacity lol

Do blessings need to be in Hebrew? I remember reading that blessing in your preferred tongue works just fine. If you want to do Hebrew because it's a beautiful language I completely understand

Not necessarily, but it doesn't hurt! I see being able to pray and come up with blessings as proof of understanding hebrew, which I haven't gotten to yet. My proficiency has a lot to be desired, but one day, I'll try my hand at thinking and writing different blessings for all sorts of things in hebrew!
