#BilingualProblems

So, I'm trying to describe something in a scene and... ‘le petite mort’ is the only way I have to convey it.

Y U DO DIS FRENCH!?

Like, I'm not fluent anymore, but for some reason that phrase is just ****ing perfect and it does NOT translate. 

Feel free to share your own multi-lingual woes!

안녕하세요!

Hey everyone! I'm Aleijda. I come from Finland. I decided to make a sideblog for my language studies. I will probably be reblogging useful things and maybe writing some texts for practice here and there.

I am a Finnish native so feel free to ask me if you have any questions about Finland or Finnish!💕

I speak English more or less fluently. I am an intermediate at French, and my Swedish is alsi intermediate but a bit worse than my French. I am an upper beginner at Italian and a beginner at Korean.

Most of these languages I am also learning at school. Korean is the only one that I have started by myself. I really love the language and I'm willing to put in a lot of work! Korean is my main focus right now, at least for the summer and probably to the end of the year. After that I probably have to focus on the languages I will take exams on. I hope I can reach a B1 level in this time. I know it can be difficult, but I am really motivated.

I am interested in all languages. I would love to learn Russian, Dutch and Estonian at some point... But not yet haha! Now I am going to really focus on Korean. But I will probably be reblogging various posts about these languages and many others as well.

We'll see what happens lol, I am really excited to have this blog as a part of my language studies.

Have a good day everyone!🌻

Nothing will beat my mother holding me back as we hike, hissing in despair:

"CAREFUL WITH THE IVY LEAGUE!"

She meant poison ivy.

Marie Kondo is great, I really admire her work and the passion behind her. But honestly I think people under appreciate Iida, her translator. Like, do you know how hard it is to sound intelligent when translating live? This girl does it in seconds, and without flaws! Like, she doesnt even forget words. It is almost magic

talking to your friends in another language and talking to your foreign friends in your mother language. That’s great, Nur! keep up the good work!

tsé quand t’essaies d’écrire un mot dans une langue mais là tu finis par l’écrire dans l’autre mais c’est comme si c’est juste normal? 

genre j’étais juste en train d’écrire une phrase en anglais et je voulais dire “and” mais là j’ai tapé “et” pis ça m’a pris quelques minutes en regardant l’écran pour catcher pourquoi la phrase me semblait pas correct

My face when I say only say one word with an accent and the caller says: “I want to speak to an American!” I’m always polite and ask which America. 😇 #racistwhitepeople #callcenterproblems #callcentermemes #bilingualproblems #america #welp #endracism https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOU4XOjKeC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes you're talking and you keep switching constantly between the two languages, only to end up saying shit like "agrego contigo".

THE ULTIMATE LINGUIST IS PREPARED TO DO OR DIE

yuchan cannot actually tell you how many languages he knows how to speak and understand properly. the number is too great and he is pretty sure he could probably say something from every language around the globe. even the ones that aren’t spoken any more. He’s always loved languages, ever since he was little he was brought up by his father speaking korean and english, his father a proud english teacher at the local high school in busan. and it was always a surprise to him how easily his middle child could pick up the language easy. by the time he was only three years old he was quite easily speaking in korean and english fluently and had already picked up quite a lot of japanese as well from some japanese family friends.

it was trend that kept up even as he got older and he started really taking an interest in even more languages, spending a lot of time pouring over different textbooks and studying online. and the speed he managed to pick up these new languages was unmatched. yuchan could quite confidently learn how to speak, read, write and understand a completely new language to have a proper conversation in just a week. his other two brothers never saw the appeal and their childhoods were spent playing outside and running around like madmen, something that yuchan didn’t see the appeal of himself.

of course, with knowing all these languages he does constantly suffer from #bilingualproblems. with so many different languages crammed into his brain it is very easy to get mixed up and even forget words in the language he is trying to communicate in. but that is certainly not going to stop him from trying to learn every single language humanly possible even if he is most likely never going to get the opportunity to have a conversation in said language. who else even knows how to speak latin well enough to have a full conversation in it these days?

maybe it was no surprise that he was labelled with the title of ultimate linguist, then, or that he was offered a chance to attend hope’s peak academy. but it was not a chance that yuchan was going to pass up on and while it was hard to leave his family in busan, he was eager to go all the same. and he thrived, loving the chance to speak to different people from all over the world, loving putting his language skills to the test and comfortably conversing with everyone possible.

And he was just as eager to go back for his final year, but ending up in some strange murder game run by a sentient teddy bear was certainly not what he was expecting.
