Deleting all my posts cause I'm honestly not the same bitch I was a year or so ago and honestly they're so embarrassing 💀💀 I might post again who knows
A brief compendium of my favorite French learning resources – enjoy!
Basics
Wikipedia’s pages on French phonology [x] and ortography [x] are useful introductions to the language. If you don’t feel like reading them in their entirety, I suggest you have a look at this chart [x].
Cool little website on French phonetics (trust me, learning IPA will help you a lot with French) [x]
Forvo [x] is also great for pronunciation!
Leconjugueur [x]
Dictionaries and checkers
Wordreference [x]
Reverso context [x] – I’m not exceedingly fond of their dictionary, but this translation tool can be a goldmine (as long as you don’t resort to mindless copy-pasting), as it provides context.
Larousse (monolingual dictionary) [x]
Wiktionary [x] – provides phonetic transcription
Linguee [x] – dictionary w/ context
Bonpatron [x] – grammar/spell checker, 10/10 will save your life
Listening
Ladictée.fr [x] – dictation can be boring but it’s crucial in French.
Radio France Internationale [x] – you can listen to regular programmes or, if you’re a beginner, check out their News in simple French [x]
YouTube: I don’t really follow any French learning/teaching channels, so I don’t know about those, but among the ones I’ve suscribed to I’d recommend Linguisticae [x] and Le fil d’actu [x]. You might also want to have a look at @awesomefrench‘s YouTubers masterlist [x]
You can browse through my French music tag [x] if you’d like, or check out my Random French music masterpost [x] (you’ll find many great additions by just as many lovely people in the notes)

when ppl add “jagiya” in non korean fanfics a little bit of my soul dies
Things in Kpop That Need to Die
adding “eu” to the end of words (snakeu, speakeu, etc.)
“woozi is yoongi’s son”
“jUnkOoK oPPa”
claiming all girl groups are the same
“when someone says all the members look the same” *inserts picture of angry idol*
“when someone asks why you listen to kpop when you dont speak korean” *inserts picture of angry idol*
“when someone says anything remotely negative about kpop” *inserts picture of angry idol*

Fan Wars!! What’s the point???????
SEXUALIZING UNDERAGE IDOLS!!!!!
leaking private pictures??? it’s gross???
only stanning 1 member of a group
putting “jagiya” in non korean fan fiction
using korean words in every day life even though you don’t even remotely speak korean (ex: that’s not very daebak you pabo)
yes that is a real sentence someone has said to me
spamming idols posts with “daddy”
“im gonna move to korea i’m just so in love with the culture uwu”
“i wish i was reborn as a korean”
“im not interested in any boys at school because im so in love with my 12 korean exo oppars”
“im gonna audition for bighit because its my dream to make music”
no its not
you probably had no interest in music until you saw taehyungs face
your white koreaboo ass only wants to meet ur BTS oppars and nothing else
you probably dont even know what a fermata is dont come at me saying your dream is to make music when you’ve never put in effort to learn anything about music
“i only stan new groups”
“older groups have no talent”
calling girls group members sluts for wearing a short skirt and a bralette when y’all will faint over jackson ripping his shirt off on stage
calling someone racist for asking a korean how he learned english and then heading over to twitter to defend dreads and blackface on idols.
“kpop is my life”
“i cant wait until *insert underage idol* turns 18! omo im such a pedo noona”
i feel like namjoon is the type to straight up ask for what he wants
after some heavy thinking tho
y'all would be such a fashionable couple
but not all the time
sometimes namjoon’s clothes be doing the most
but its okay cause his dimples make up for it
his dimples are the best thing since goD y'all can fight me idc
he’ll be in middle of explaining some deep shit and he’d get so into and start smiling and his dimples will show and-
wow i juST LO V E
i mean you love
fuck it we all love his dimples
anyway
first aid kit. at all times
this man doesn’t know how to not hurt himself
i feel like some dates with namjoon would be to a coffee shop
or a library
somewhere thats not too loud so he can have meaningful conversations with you
dates with namjoon can be disastrous
he’s dropped m a n y cups at many restaurants and coffee shops
you went golfing once for a date
you’re not allowed back there again
naMJOOM CAN GET SO ANNOYINGLY HORNY DURING YOUR DATES LMAO
you went to the cinema to see this film you’ve been wanting to see
half an hour in and his hands and mouth are all over you
dID SOMEONE SCREAM SKINSHIP
this boy will not h e s i t a t e to show that you’re together
ass grabbing
ass grabbing

it keeps distracting you when you’re actually trying to make an effort to learn cause he looks hot af
and this smug lil shit knooows
“you’ve been doing an awful lot of staring since we started this lesson, are you okay” he asked, eyebrow raised and smirking
his intelligence is the hottest thing bYE
talking so passionately about something he loves and you cant just stop smiling cause
wOW
when y'all fight lmAO
he’s constantly coming up with smart, witty and ultimately annoying comebacks
and you’re there, looking up at this big ass tree glaring at him telling him that his dick is small as shit and to shut the fuck up cause you lowkey ran out of smart comebacks yourself
“you’re being childish"
"no you’re being childish” you say sticking out your tongue

you’re such a nerdy couple i can not emphasis this enough
the other members will deadass leave the room when it’s the two of you together
cause y'all be talking about some philosophical type shit and like wtf
sometimes the members even wonder if you’re speaking actual proper words cause the shit that comes out of both of your mouths are like ????
basically you two are like the power couple
overall you two have such a nice, nerdy ass relationship. its so cute
until he gives you the dick of a lifetime and doesn’t eat the booty like groceries but like a fucking 5 course Gordon Ramsey meal
Or just reasons to love him. (From the POV of a Yoongi stan)
loves music
LYRICAL GENIUS
raps faster than the speed of light. hella control over his voice
plays the piano
amazing on stage; in his element
his mixtape saved hiphop. saved lives. saved the world goddamn Yoongi
AGUSTD - Intro: Dt sugA (ft. DJ Friz) - AgustD - give it to me -skit -724148 -140503 at dawn -The Last -Tony Montana (ft. Yankie) -Interlude ; Dream, Reality -so far away (ft. Suran)
he produced the entire thing. it didn’t feel like individual tracks on an album. it felt very complete, in a way i’ve never seen before.
released this masterpiece to the world for free; on soundcloud, on a google drive, on mediafire, on spotify…
He had no problematic lyrics on his mixtape. He doesn’t imitate or glorify modern American hiphop. There are no meaningless lyrics, no misogyny, no materialism or racial slurs. Instead, he talks about himself and builds on that.
worked on his mixtape in between his schedule. sometimes while on the plane, sometimes while working on other music for BTS.
Has a polar bear protection bracelet. Really likes polar bears.
was the happiest person in the world when he met Kumamon it was all too adorable
Very socially aware. Wants to use his fame to shift people’s attention to global problems.
When he and Taehyung got sick and were rushed to the hospital, they ended up having to cancel the concert in Kobe. During his vacation time, he went to the stadium they were supposed to perform in by himself and wrote a post about it in the fancafe. He sat in the seats of the stadium and forced himself to imagine the fans’ emotions on the day that was supposed to be the concert. He wrote a long apology. He felt so guilty it kept him awake every night since the incident. He didn’t know what else to do. He promised never to let the fans down again and to work harder.
works from from 12 am - 6 am on music. even after a full day of training or concert preparation or filming. only to sleep for 2 or 3 hours or not at all to start the next day. sleeps whenever he gets the chance. gives the day’s events his full energy regardless.
when BTS had to pack for their backpacking trip through Europe, he was the one that remembered to pack medicine and first aid supplies. he cleaned up before leaving the hotel room. helped cook. was in charge of their budget.
wrote/composed/produced some of BTS’s best songs: -Tomorrow -Nevermind -Intro (HYYH pt. 1) -Dead Leaves -Fun Boyz -Just One Day -Let Me Know -Paldogangsan (with Hoseok & Namjoon) -Cypher pt 1, 2, & 3 (with Hoseok & Namjoon)
participates in the making of almost every BTS song
he looks gorgeous in every hair colour he’s literally so beautiful
once said he would sue Bighit if his hair started falling out lmao
his smile that shows his gums
laughs in 10 different ways
his voice sounds beautiful in Whalien52 aka one of my favourite songs
in the song “Move” he dedicated his section to his mom, who was sick after she gave birth to him
in “If I ruled the world” he dreams, if he could have anything, it would be to buy a house for his family
danced around his studio in the early hours of the morning when “Nevermind” was approved to be the intro of HYYH pt.2
really likes lamb skewers. Wants to open a lamb skewer restaurant with Jungkook
his only goal is to make music that gives people emotions (comfort). the root of his passion, goes back to when he started making music at the age of 13.
his dream was to perform at Olympic Gymnastics Arena. At the end of the concert, he looked for his parents and brother in the crowd. When he saw them, he smiled and got on the floor to do a deep bow, the kind where your forehead touches the ground. This is when he sobbed for the first time at a concert.
at fansigns, fans get to write them a question. “What’s more important? Face or body?” is asked a lot, not just to BTS but all Kpop groups. Yoongi is the only one that writes a third option, “Personality” and circles it and writes that it is the most important. He does this every time the question comes up.
When given the question, “What type of girl?” or “What type of style do you like in a girl?” He circles all of them.
his ideal type is someone who likes music and someone he can communicate with. there are never any other specifications.
when asked for the ideal weight in a girl, he writes a ridiculous number
when asked what age difference he would date, he wrote “81 years” lol
tells everyone to eat well and take care of themselves. loves his fans more than anything.
extremely open-minded person
when he and Namjoon were being disrespected by Bfree during an interview, he stayed calm and handled the situation well. Then proceeded to drAG THE HELL OUT OF HIM IN CYPHER PT. 2
the “S” in Suga stands for “Savage”
literally sarcastic all the time
“If we’re talking about regrets you should think of some of your past selcas” - to Jimin
relatable
king of “I meant to do that”
the time he and Hoseok reacted to a “Try not to laugh challenge” of their own members and Yoongi laughed so hard he choked
his existence is pretty much art in itself
the thing he does when his members are doing something embarrassing and he just curls up and covers his face
“Min Suga. Genius. Those two words should be enough. *shrugs*”
“I want to reincarnate and be a rock in my next lifetime”
“I’m Father Louis Williams Suga Adams the Third”
“I’m good at doing ugly stuff”
“I was destined to be taller, but there were some errors in my development.”
“I’d like to introduce you to my lover…this neckpillow"
“I’ve always wanted to nap in a different country”
on his first birthday after he debuted, he spent his own money to make small gifts for his fans and hand-wrote over 300 notes for the fans that were going to come to see him on his birthday. he spent a long time because he wanted to make each note different. at the event, he got embarrassed because “it’s not much but I hope you all like it”. he learned that instead of 300, 350 came and he made 50 more to send to them.
the next year, he made packages again but this time with transportation cards so the fans could use them when they came to see them. hand-written letters again, signed polaroids and ordered special envelopes.
gave Jimin his credit card to charge the passes with, and when Jimin jokingly said he’s going to spend his money on snacks, Yoongi unhesitatingly said “Okay”
he did something again this year, but just didn’t vlog about it.
took pictures of Jungkook at his graduation like he was a proud parent
the time when he and Hoseok lost a game and didn’t get dinner. Jimin brought them a crab from their table, and Yoongi let Hoseok have it. “Seeing my dongsaeng eat makes me feel full.“
Bangtan love him. They say Yoongi takes care of them well, especially his dongsaengs. He’s the one that silently takes care of them all.
The time Yoongi took Jimin out to eat sushi, and while Jimin was tying his shoes, Yoongi paid and told him they could go. “Of course, I’m the hyung.“
says his members are his closest friends. says Bighit is like a family
when Hoseok was celebrating New Years alone in the dorms, Yoongi left his family and showed up with chicken just so Hoseok wouldn’t have to spend new years by himself
Maschine mk2 review what a nerd
that time he tried to install a music editing software and ranted for 10 years on the fancafe because technology is problematic
that one time Yoongi got really passionate about coffee and said he needed 309 people to help him “catch” coffee
does reviews and gives insight on all of BTS’s albums
the time he sang his heart out with Hoseok for “I was able to eat well” and sounded terrible
the time they had a high note challenge and Yoongi sang so “high” that no noise came out
so extra. all the time.
“the director said it would only take 5 minutes. It’s been exactly 4 minutes and 58 seconds"
that time he had to introduce himself and pulled confetti out of his pocket and threw it over himself
but also unamused
he is a paradox
“I want to go baaaaaaaack”
easily put in his place by Jin, his hyung. But also ignores all of his jokes.
cannot dance for his life (literally flailing in DOPE) but is a really good dancer (FIRE ????)
he just works hard
unhesitatingly kicked Jimin in the balls when he started dancing over his legs while he was trying to sleep. didn’t even wake up.
that time Taehyung was really nervous on stage and kept stuttering and messing up his words. the members laughed and poked fun at him, but Yoongi shushed them and the audience and told Taehyung to breathe and relax and start again. This time Taehyung didn’t stutter
literally a deadass person at the awards show until Namjoon was up next to perform and Yoongi couldn’t stop being hyped and looking for him
makes fun of his members all the time but always makes sure they’re comfortable
witty but never crude
says he’s not always the best at expressing himself verbally, but wants everyone to know he is always thankful
kindest, bravest, strongest person to ever grace this earth. blesses the lives of everyone he touches
There are certain things I didn’t include in there, because they are a part of his mixtape and I think that speaks for itself.
