The Power and Perils of Learning Through Games

Unlocking Language Proficiency In the dynamic landscape of language acquisition, where immersion and engagement are pivotal, the integration of games into learning environments has emerged as a potent tool. Harnessing the innate human affinity for play, incorporating games into language learning endeavors offers a multitude of benefits that are both scientifically backed and experientially…

call me crazy but there is a difference between treating your adult players like they are new to the world and treating your adult players like they have the memory of a goldfish and the vocabulary of a 9 year old

But Mr. Silvair is so patient during lessons and will teach you many words almost instantly. Fun!

I can't stop thinking of an AU where instead of killing Lenore Dove, Snow has her arrested for her 'crimes' and sent to the capitol to become an avox. A fate that, to her at least, is probably much worse.

Maybe Snow has her work in the tribute center too. Every year she can see Haymitch, and he can see her, but they are not able to touch, or talk. No comfort, just a reminder of what you can't have.

It is a threat, how he keeps Haymitch in line. The reminder that he can, at any time, make Lenore Dove's life worse. Haymitch spends years and years trying to think of a way to get her out, to save her, and keeps coming up with nothing. At least until the main trilogy.

Wouldn't that be, like, the worst, most fucked up, and tragic AU?

Korean Swear Words

if you're a frequent k-drama watcher, then you probably know a thing or two about swearing in Korean. but it actually goes so much deeper than what is popularly known on the internet so here is a list of the more common Korean swears! obviously, this is just for funsies and you probably shouldn't be going around saying these words to people.

바보 (babo) - dummy, idiot, stupid

등신 (deungshin) - dumbass

병신 (byeongshin) - literally translates to "diseased body (病身)", and has a similar connotation to the English r-slur (but is very rarely used in that way)

씨발 (shibal) - fuck, comes from archaic verb 씹하다 shibhada (to have sex)

새끼 (saekki) - literally means "animal offspring" but is used as a swear in certain circumstances, it's also used affectionately when mothers refer to their children. you might hear a Korean mom say something like, "내 새끼~~" (nae saekki) which literally means "my babyyyy" in English.

���___ (gae___) - literally means "dog" but is used in front of other swear words to increase the severity and offensiveness

eg. 개새끼 (gae saekki) - son of a bitch

eg. 개씨발 (gae shibal) - FUUUUCCCCCK

닥쳐 (dakchyeo) - shut up

꺼져 (ggeo-jyeo) - fuck off

뒈지다 (dwejida) - to die and go to hell

놈/년 (nom/nyeon) - bastard/bitch, can also have other words in front of it to describe the person

eg. 미친놈/년 (michin nom/nyeon) - crazy bastard/bitch

eg. 썅놈/년 (shyang nom/nyeon) - fucking bastard/bitch

지랄 (jiral) - speaking nonsense/spouting bullshit

또라이 (ttorai) - a freak

엿 먹어 (yeot meogeo) - literally means "eat yeot" (a traditional Korean confectionary), it basically means "fuck you", "eat shit", etc

젠장 (jenjang) - interjection such as saying shit! fuck! damn it!

좆 (jot) - dick

보지 (boji) - pussy

촌놈 (chonnom) - country bumpkin

I reblogged a kickstarter for this game a while back, and it’s in early access on steam now!

If you didn’t see the original post — it’s an immersion based language game good for beginners, the idea being you’re dropped on an island and have to figure out the language.

It has a surprising number of languages too.

Latin-American Spanish

Castilian Spanish

French

Italian

German

Brazilian Portuguese

Tagalog

Dutch

Turkish

I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll get back to you lot when I do. I’ll probably test the Spanish and then maybe try Dutch or Tagalog :-)

Let me know if you’ve tried it and what you think!

[emry-stars-art]

It is… May 🦈

Find the mer aus masterpost here 💕

I'll reintroduce the made up little script and add the translation below:

Go my children write silly little codes and messages on things. Anyway what they’re saying:

Wymack: I don't know if I can convince him.

Betsy: that's okay.

Abby: I think he's earned being a little scared.

Betsy: maybe he'd like something sweet.

I haven't watched clh yet but I have been playing ac2 for the first time so uh. that counts right?

edit: fixed the french pronoun because apparently 2 years of it in school taught me nothing

[arttsuka]

I was gonna do that one trend but I got too lazy to make a whole animatic so here is what I made instead. Them just blinking.

[iceclew]

So was anybody gonna fucking tell me, that I missed one of the greatest side quests in KCD2 early game, or did I really had to get back and find it by sheer accident after finishing the main game?

(prepare for spoiler and obvious pro-Hansry screaming down below)

OK, so I sorta caught wind of a quest where a dog is talking to Heinrich and he sobs about wanting someone to love him, I knew that part, BUT. ...

But I did not know he would go swimming .... AGAIN.... WITHOUT. KNOWING. HOW. TO. SWIM!!!

I DID NOT KNOW HE'S SCREAMING AND CHEERING "TO ALL THE BUSTY BLONDES !!!" WHILE DRINKING!?!?!

Listen I know it's a big of a stretch right there, and I have not heard the 'busty' part ok?

*inhales*

TYPE DETECTED. I REPEAT, TYPE DETECTED!! ALSO NONE OF THE GIRLS IN THE 2ND NOR 1ST GAME WHERE BLONDE, I'M JUST SAYIN' Y'ALL! WEE WOO WEE WOO!!

not that my late game Henry is single any longer, but you know I'm taking all the breadcrumbs I get.. *sighs* oh, past-Ice would have screamed if she did that quest in early game (and on time) like intended..

and last but not least.... WARHORSE.....ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS. HENRY STARTS SPEAKING HUNGARIAN BECAUSE HE'S DRUNK. WTF WHAT KIND OF SUPERPOWER IS THIS?!

ALSO I LOVE IT, THANK YOU. PEED MY PANTS FROM LAUGHTER.

[robertaaron]

anyone else want to explode whenever henry talks about being the bodyguard to his lord especially when hans and henry are in their #divorce era like oooohhhhh he’s got it Bad bad

[2isted-chocol8-art]

hii!! Would you be cool with drawing maybe Hatch with Hal teasing eachother? (Hatch teasing about height, half teasing about the nickname?) Or whatever you want really,

Love your art!!!

I like to think about hatchy's childhood and how they probably spent most of their time with Hal- They'd be a double pack! Reminder that my requests are open ::) -> More Outer Wilds Art!
