Thinking about how people tend to pick up on specific words from other languages they're learning (especially slang) and use it over and over, like Pac saying "Shenanigans" or Fit saying "Fofoca" or Phil (and the rest of the server practically) saying "No Mames."

It just reminds me of my time working with Japanese college students, and how they all suddenly started saying "Awesome!" practically every other sentence one day after hearing me say it + explaining what it meant to them. It still makes my heart melt a bit thinking about it.

#i talk #I MISS MY STUDENTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS #I MISS WORKING WITH JAPANESE STUDENTS I MISS MY COLLEGE STUDENTS #AGH #anyways I'm trying to wrap up chapter 3 of Love will cost you an arm and a leg tonight so it can be posted tomorrow #I'm fixing up the ending but things are looking promising #qsmp talk #I suppose #It was so cute though I think I explained it like:#''Awesome is a bit like すごい! You say it when you think something is really cool or if you're excited / happy about something''#Not to brag (I'm gonna brag) but I was the favorite mentor / teacher in the group #One of the students said they really appreciated the way I spoke with them #Because I always spoke clearly and at a good pace for them to follow along #But I was willing to give them Japanese translations (or approximate translations) if they were struggling #it made me feel all warm and fuzzy #Anyways this moment made me realize I do say ''Awesome'' a lot lmao #It's a good word what can I say
