#spoken english tutorial

[valeisaslut]

Hey val! just wanted to say collide is genuinely incredible. genuinely one of the best pieces of writing i’ve ever read, not exaggerating. I’ve been seeing you absolutely burning ellie to shreds and it made me wonder, what’s popstar!reader’s backstory? read she came from the voice but is there more to her pre-ellie life? she seems so layered and complex on her own, and i’d love to know how she got to where she is now. any lore you can share??

omg first of all—thank you so much for this, seriously. it means the world that you’re even asking about reader’s backstory. i’ve spent just as much time building her as i did ellie, and i love that she’s getting some of the spotlight too!

popstar!reader’s backstory is a little quieter than ellie’s, but it’s just as important.

she was just a normal girl, honestly. small town, two parents, one younger sibling. soft-spoken, always lost in her own little world—writing lyrics on her forearm in pen and humming melodies while unloading the dishwasher.

her parents were sweet but practical, the kind of people who clapped at school recitals and told her to make sure her dreams had health insurance. supportive in that detached, surface-level, “good for you, honey” way.

she taught herself how to sing, how to play guitar, and later piano—mostly in secret. lessons felt like too much of an ask. her family wasn’t struggling, but money was always discussed with that careful tone, like even wanting something made you selfish. so she figured it out alone. saved up for her first guitar by babysitting, bought a secondhand keyboard off Facebook Marketplace, and sang quietly into her pillow late at night so no one would hear.

she taught herself how to produce on GarageBand when she was fourteen, recording rough demos on an old laptop that overheated if she used too many vocal layers.

she'd mimic runs from old YouTube covers, learn chords from blurry tutorial videos, and practice until her fingers went numb. there were nights her voice would crack and she'd cry out of frustration, but she always came back to it. because no matter how hard it was—music made her feel like someone.

she wasn’t popular. not disliked, just… overlooked. you’d find her sitting in the back of the bus, hoodie up, scribbling verses in the margins of her homework. she barely even spoke in class, but when she sang? people shut up and listened. she just didn’t let them very often. the want was always there, but the fear was just as loud.

and then came 10th grade. her first real heartbreak. a girl from her English class—older, confident, the kind of girl who knew the effect she had on people. reader fell hard. it was messy, unrequited, and when the girl said “i’m not into girls like that” with a casual shrug? it destroyed her. she wrote ten songs that month. none of them were happy. she posted one of them on SoundCloud under a fake name. it got 43 listens. she made it her phone wallpaper.

no one thought she’d actually do anything with music. her teachers told her to “focus more on the sciences,” and her guidance counselor literally said, “sweetheart, music is a lovely hobby, but not a career.”

no one ever really believed she’d make it.

and honestly? most of the time, neither did she.

but something clicked her senior year. she was tired of being scared. tired of hiding. so she said fuck it—and auditioned for The Voice with one of her own songs without even asking her mom about it.

the rest happened fast. all four judges turned. her clip exploded online—TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, everywhere. people were calling her “the girl with the pain in her voice”. and yeah, she won. of course she did. got signed to a label before she even had time to process it.

her debut album was a glittery, razor-sharp pop masterpiece. dramatic, vulnerable, unapologetically girly. every song sounded like crying in the back of a club bathroom and screaming in your car on the way home. girls memorized the lyrics. gays dissected the bridges. critics tried to play it cool but couldn’t help calling it a cultural reset.

but through all the fame, reader stayed pretty much the same. she never really leaned into the chaos of it all. she wasn’t into parties. barely drank. never touched drugs. she didn’t care about being seen—she cared about being good. her team would throw her into red carpets and she’d sneak out early to finish demos in her penthouse. at one event, she literally left mid-party to go sit in the parking lot and hum a harmonie she couldn't get out of her head into her voice notes.

she barely dated. not because she didn’t want to—but because she didn’t have time. she never let herself have time. the industry was demanding, to say the least. she had something to prove. to everyone who doubted her. to herself.

she built herself from the ground up. no shortcuts, no handouts, no famous parents or flashy connections. just talent. obsession. the belief that maybe—maybe—her voice mattered. and a little bit of spite.

she gave everything to her career. and she became a star.

and then came ellie. and for the first time… she stopped thinking about the next song. because suddenly, someone made her want to stay in the moment. and god, that scared her.

Latin Poetry Composition for the Autodidact

The other day, a mutual mentioned on a post about wanting to learn poetry. There really is a dearth of resources for it, and I think we actually miss out on much of the poetry we love by not being able to write it ourselves.

Before we start I want to say that this is now how I did it. I’m a Latin teacher who uses spoken Latin 6 class periods per day, every day. When I’m not speaking it, I’m also writing and listening to it. The amount of input and practice producing and internalizing the natural rhythms of Latin I have as a professional is not something everyone can do and puts a big asterisk next to any advice I give.

 I think my other disclaimer is just that this is a recommendation (albeit one based on my experience and training as a Latin teacher). Don’t feel like you “aren’t allowed” to write hendecasyllables if you have no interest in hexameters.

How to physically create a poem I really recommend pen and paper. Sometimes I’ll write out just the basic idea images or themes and then versify it. Other times I get a nice sounding bit and try to build around it. It’s a very non linear process so don’t feel like you have to start at the beginning or the end. Just try to find a foothold somewhere and grow out from there. For me it involves a lot of trial and error. Usually my first goal is to get something that fits the meter. Then, I ask if it sounds good. Then I ask if it’s artistically what I’m looking for. Lots of writing, scanning, and looking for words that fit the meter, rescanning, ita porro.

 I really don’t recommend writing too much English if you can help it. If you can say what you want in English, there’s no need to obscure it with Latin! To that end, if you’re really new to Latin composition, I’d start with prose and getting good at internalizing styles and tones.

More than anything, have fun! Don’t feel like you are required to complete a textbook or do certain drills in a certain order before you get into the poetry you want to write. Let the Muse sing to you!

Really all you need to get started is this or this and an idea. With practice youll be ready for more stuff and then can reference the materials ive posted.

Table of Contents: (follow the links to the different guides)

1, Prose, or getting started writing in Latin

2, Haikus

3, Hexameter

4, Elegiac Couplets

5, Hendecasyllables and Reading Poetry

6, Explanations of some of the more complicated rules and links to important resources, tutorials, and practice drills

[yukirayu]

this new translation, whilst i was super excited at first, honestly seems overly verbose. and some parts are just blatant plagiarism. i don't understand, if these people were going to go to the effort to "retranslate" in secret for over a year, why they wouldn't have completely thrown out JAST's script and started from the original. what do you think?

The patch is retelling the game by following the JP text more closely, so if it's very verbose, then that was how it was also worded in the original game. I even pointed out a few examples (albeit with MTL, which is more intended to give the closer gist of the sentence, than anything else) that does hint at this same verboseness. That, and the fact that there's far less slang and cursing, and while I can't read Japanese, I am familiar enough with the spoken version to notice a lot of worded lines (in the localization) that do not match the voice llines themselves.

And as for the claims of plagiarism, it is another version of an English translation of the game. I wouldn't expect every single sentence to be worded differently. If someone stays "Stop doing that" or "Stop that", then that's usually the best way you can word it. Or if the reply is a quick "Sure", then that's fine. It's impractical to think that for another translation to avoid the accusations, every letter is retyped and every single word (adverb, verb, preposition, adjective, etc.) is replaced.

And any posts that claim they barely edited anything only showed sneak peeks from the tutorial, and I have shown screenshots from when you're far enough into a route that show how whole sentences were changed. Even if you generally can see where either version of the same scene is getting at, wording and tone play an important role in how people understand the context, except that the localization got overly crude and memey and that can really affect one's perception of the characterization and the themes.

And they did say it's a patch. Patches like this function similarly to game mods, where you use the base file of the game and tweak it in a way that more features get added, or even refine parts of the game's coding to fix any potential bugs and whatnot. Since they explicitly stated that the patch works with the localization, it'd make sense that the do use the localization's files to insert their translation of the text.

One can only guess why they didn't patch over the JP version of the game, but if I am to make my own guess, it may be because this is their way of sidestepping the potential accusations of copyright infringement, since Slow Damage is still officially licensed by another company.

Another funny thing I have to share is that before the localization itself was released, there was a translation of the VN's demo, which was told in third person (much like this patch is). But that demo, which technically isn't the same as the licensed game and is also free property since that's what demos are for, got mysteriously deleted all of a sudden, and I've seen hints that it had something to do with JAST not wanting people to notice the change in narration POV (whichever you prefer is up to you, but the fact remains that they changed it, something that they didn't do even in the other N+C visual novels they licensed).

hello micah :3 first of all ive loved your recent covers the vending machine of love one especially has been in my head for a while and your art for it was my pfp for embarassingly long on discord...

now for my question.. how do you get your covers of human sung songs to sound so.. natural LMAO. im unsure how to word it but ive tried covering one of tom cardys more recent songs with anri and its almost impossible so i would love your advice! thanks for reading!!

hello!! thank you so much :D tuning is... complicated!! lmao

for natural, id say editing phonemes is a really big one. i actually type out a lot of words one sound at a time (which i started doing for utau teto english since its so finiky). i use more relaxed pronunciations, like usually "you" becomes ".y ax" and "i" becomes ".ah" or ".aa"

i add some extra sounds in too, like a tiny little ".ax" or "hh" at the end of a word/phrase if i want to tune it more

you can also adjust the timings of the phonemes within the words too! you can kind of get it in a rhythm; theres a really good tutorial by yasutange but it IS in japanese so you have to read subtitles lol

https://youtu.be/YpE-tkvema4

i basically never use auto tuning, and often i draw the pitches by hand instead of using pitch points (especially with spoken parts which is gonna be big for tom cardy)! i used to do just note editing and never touch the pitch but it really isnt good for more precise edits

sorry if this is a little long but those are the big ones i think akfkshdks

im gonna be posting a tutorial vid on youtube at some point so maybe that will be more helpful. either way hope this helps a bit :3

a short tutorial on writing majima-speak

So ya wanna learn how to write Majima-speak, eh? Well, I gotta say, you’ve come to the right place. Or maybe the only place? Dunno how many tutorials’re out there fer this shit. Anyway, sit yer ass down and I’ll give ya the scoop on how to write yer favorite fun guy from Kansai.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a fluent Japanese speaker. These are all the opinions/observations of an American whose only exposure to the Japanese culture and language has been through anime and video games. I have done my best to research all of these observations before just shoving them into this document, but I probably will make mistakes. Any actual Japanese speakers, please correct me. This isn’t supposed to be an educational guide on the nuances of Kansai-ben. This is only a general tutorial on how to portray the Kansai dialect in English writing.

What is Kansai-ben?

Kansai-ben (or Kansai dialect) is a Japanese dialect primarily spoken in the Kansai region of Japan. Pretty straightforward. Our good friend Majima Goro speaks a version of Kansai-ben that I lovingly refer to as Majima-speak. This is because he doesn’t speak true Kansai dialect—it’s a wobbly mix of Kansai and Tokyo (“standard”) that incorporates elements of both. Ugaki Hidenari, Majima’s voice actor, is from Tokyo himself, and doesn’t speak Kansai-ben natively. However, Majima has a lot of quirky Kansai-isms in his speech that make him stand out from other characters.

Therefore, the focus on writing Majima’s dialogue doesn’t have to be accuracy. We aren’t shooting for a 1:1 translation of Kansai to English, because: 1) that doesn’t exist, and 2) he doesn’t speak perfect Kansai anyway. The point is, we’ve got flexibility.

What makes Majima-speak different from regular Japanese?

There are a lot of cultural and historical nuances that I won’t get into, but in modern Japan, the Kansai dialect is perceived as more comedic or casual than standard Japanese. This is reflected in Sega’s localization of Majima’s voice lines: his are rougher, more crass, and generally funnier than other characters’ lines. If you end up taking nothing else from this guide, at least think rough, crass, and funny when writing Majima. It’s a good place to start.

So how do I write Majima-speak?

There are three tips that I keep in mind while I’m writing dialogue for Majima:

Make sure his lines show more emotion than other characters’ lines.

Use shortcuts wherever possible.

Don’t be afraid to get silly with it.

Let’s elaborate on these tips, shall we?

Make sure Majima’s lines show more emotion than other characters’ lines.

I’d like to use Kiryu as an example here, because he’s by far one of the stiffest-speaking characters in the series. For lack of a better term, Kiryu’s lines are prosaic—they sound more like they were written in a book than spoken by a person. Here’s an excerpt from Kiryu and Majima’s first scene together in Yakuza 2, edited for brevity. Pretend you don’t know what this scene looks like and focus on just the text.

Kiryu: It’s Kiryu. Anybody home? I know you’re here…Show yourself. Majima: It’s been too long…Kiryu-chan! You got any idea how lonely I’ve been since ya got outta the game last year? Oh, but I knew my Kiryu-chan would come home sooner or later! Kiryu: It’s been awhile, Majima-no-niisan. Majima: So, what brings ya here? Kiryu: The Tojo Clan…needs you. Majima: For fuck’s sake…What’s this BS now?! You’re a shitty comedian, Kiryu-chan. Kiryu: I’m serious. The Tojo Clan has never needed you more than now. Please.  Majima: No fuckin’ way. Kiryu: Please. Majima: You’re killin’ me, Kiryu-chan! I can’t stand seein’ ya like this! Kiryu: Please, Majima-no-niisan…the Tojo Clan is as good as dead without the Majima Family. Please!

Notice how Majima’s lines are much longer than Kiryu’s and noticeably sound like an actual person said them because they’re more casual. Kiryu basically repeats “please” three times, but each time Majima’s response is different. You’re able to tell that Majima’s incredulous, then annoyed, then upset at Kiryu’s request by the way he adds extra dialogue every time he says “no.” By contrast, you’re not really able to tell how desperate Kiryu is until he starts begging. The main disadvantage with writing is that you’re not able to convey images as clearly through text, so it requires more work to make a character’s emotions show through their dialogue. Majima’s lines are all about emotion, whether it’s real or exaggerated, so make sure the reader is able to tell how he’s feeling without seeing his face.

Use shortcuts whenever possible.

While conveying a character’s emotions through their speech often requires writing longer lines, this does not mean you should waste space or over-explain. The way you can balance this need for emotion with the need for casual dialogue is by using slang and condensing phrases.

English-speakers do this all the time in common conversation. We use contractions (I am = I’m), smash together words (What are you doing? = What’cha doin’?”), and add slang/idioms (“The hour grows late; I shall soon retire” = “It’s getting late, I’m gonna hit the hay”). The key to writing Majima-speak is to use every shortcut possible and then some.

If it’s hard to come up with dialogue on the spot, try thinking about how a guy like Kiryu would say a particular line. Let’s use the example of: “You always were the one guy I couldn’t read.” Then, think about what shortcuts you could potentially make to this sentence. It’s not much, but this sentence could be cut down to: “Y’always were the one guy I couldn’t read.” Doesn’t that already sound more like Majima said it?

Then, add some more emotion to this sentence: “Y’always were the one fucker I could never getta read on.” It sounds affectionate or aggressive, depending on how you spin it. And there you go! We just Majima-modified (Majimodified?) a Kiryu line. With the power of slang and shortcuts, you too can turn regular dialogue into Majima classics.

Don’t be afraid to get silly with it.

Majima’s a silly guy, so of course he’s gonna have his silly moments. The RGG localization team knows this and takes creative liberties to give Majima’s dialogue more life. My favorite example of silliness in translating Majima’s lines to English is this specific line from Yakuza 2:

Majima says: “Doya, Kiryu-chan? Kakko ee yaro?” Which literally translates to something like: “How’s that, Kiryu-chan? I look cool, right?” This line is dripping with Kansai-ben.

But the localization team chose to translate it as “Whaddya think, Kiryu-chan? Ain’t I red-hot?” Which I love. It conveys so much more about Majima’s character in the same amount of words and even adds some more context from the scene itself. They make a pun on “red-hot,” and while “cool” would’ve worked too, this would have made less sense. The point is, don’t be afraid to get wild with it. If it sounds cooler, is probably is. 

Finally, here’s a few miscellaneous quirks of Majima-speak and pointers that can help you get that much closer to imitating Majima’s style of speech.

Majima rarely uses “you” pronouns, instead preferring to use nicknames and titles like Kiryu-chan, nee-chan, oyaji, etc. This can be substituted for girlie, kiddo, buddy, idiot, etc. 

Don’t replace all the “you”s and “your"s in a sentence with “ya”s and “yer”s. It gets difficult to read if you abuse them.

Majima loves to swear. But again, don’t use them too liberally or you’ll sound like a 12-year-old who just learned what “fuck” means.

Goromi’s speech is a bit more cutesy than Goro’s, but she flips between masculine and feminine pronouns. For the purposes of writing Goromi that’s not terribly important, but keep in mind that she’ll frequently switch between masculine and feminine speaking patterns.

Don’t try to imitate Southern American English (if you aren't familiar with that dialect). I also wouldn't try it in general, but if it helps, it helps.

Edited to add: it's ultimately up to you to decide when/if Majima drops his accent. Personally I reserve it for when he's so emotionally vulnerable he can't keep it up, or when he's being so serious about something he just won't use it.

As a bonus, here is a brief glossary of Kansai-isms that I’ve noticed Majima using, with some examples of their use in context and some suggested translations. Most of these examples are pulled from Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2, since that’s when he has the most speaking lines and has fully settled into his Mad Dog persona.

Ahō (idiot) = dumbass, bonehead

“Nishida, ya dumbass!”

Beppin (pretty) = stunner, knockout

“Well ain’t ya a rare dish?”

Honma (really) = damn, for real

“For real?! Who are you and what have you done with Kiryu-chan?”

-han (-san)

“Well, now it’s your turn, Legendary Info Dealer-han.”

Akan (not good/must) = gotta be, better not

“That’s why he’s gotta be strong.”

Uchi* (I) = ol’ Goromi, li’l ol’ me

“Just don’t fall too hard for me, okay?”

Ee (good/cool) = badass

“Ain’t I red-hot?”

Ikude (let’s go) = let’s do this shit

“Let’s do this, Kiryu-chan!”

Suman (sorry) = my bad

“This is my bad, Kiryu-chan.”

Anta (you, polite) = ya

“Y’know, up close…you’re pretty damn hot.”

Haw (not really a Kansai-ism but he does like it a lot)

“Haw?”

Nanyatte (what) = what the fuck

“Say what?”

Chau (wrong) = bullshit

“That ain’t what I’m saying.”

Dondon (also not Kansai-ben but he likes this one too. Basically “loud noise”) = clobber, beat the shit outta ya, crack some skulls

“It’s way better if ya fight it out.”

*Uchi is a stereotypical feminine pronoun used in Kansai-ben. Only Goromi uses this one. She also tends to waffle between watashi/ore pronouns.

Unlock the Power of AI: Give Life to Your Videos with Human-Like Voice-Overs

Video has emerged as one of the most effective mediums for audience engagement in the quickly changing field of content creation. Whether you are a business owner, marketer, or YouTuber, producing high-quality videos is crucial. However, what if you could improve your videos even more? Presenting AI voice-overs, the video production industry's future.

It's now simpler than ever to create convincing, human-like voiceovers thanks to developments in artificial intelligence. Your listeners will find it difficult to tell these AI-powered voices apart from authentic human voices since they sound so realistic. However, what is AI voice-over technology really, and why is it important for content creators? Let's get started!

AI Voice-Overs: What Is It? Artificial intelligence voice-overs are produced by machine learning models. In order to replicate the subtleties, tones, and inflections of human speech, these voices are made to seem remarkably natural. Applications for them are numerous and include audiobooks, podcasts, ads, and video narration.

It used to be necessary to hire professional voice actors to create voice-overs for videos, which may be costly and time-consuming. However, voice-overs may now be produced fast without sacrificing quality thanks to AI.

Why Should Your Videos Have AI Voice-Overs? Conserve time and money. Conventional voice acting can be expensive and time-consuming. The costs of scheduling recording sessions, hiring a voice actor, and editing the finished product can mount up rapidly. Conversely, AI voice-overs can be produced in a matter of minutes and at a far lower price.

Regularity and Adaptability You can create consistent audio for all of your videos, regardless of their length or style, by using AI voice-overs. Do you want to alter the tempo or tone? No worries, you may easily change the voice's qualities.

Boost Audience Involvement Your content can become more captivating with a realistic voice-over. Your movies will sound more polished and professional thanks to the more natural-sounding voices produced by AI. Your viewers may have a better overall experience and increase viewer retention as a result.

Support for Multiple Languages Multiple languages and accents can be supported with AI voice-overs, increasing the accessibility of your content for a worldwide audience. AI is capable of producing precise and fluid voice-overs in any language, including English, Spanish, French, and others.

Available at all times AI voice generators are constantly active! You are free to produce as many voiceovers as you require at any one time. This is ideal for expanding the production of content without requiring more human resources.

What Is the Process of AI Voice-Over Technology? Text-to-speech (TTS) algorithms are used in AI voice-over technology to interpret and translate written text into spoken words. Large datasets of human speech are used to train these systems, which then learn linguistic nuances and patterns to produce voices that are more lifelike.

The most sophisticated AI models may even modify the voice according to context, emotion, and tone, producing voice-overs that seem as though they were produced by a skilled human artist.

Where Can AI Voice-Overs Be Used? Videos on YouTube: Ideal for content producers who want to give their work a polished image without investing a lot of time on recording.

Explainers and Tutorials: AI voice-overs can narrate instructional films or tutorials, making your material interesting and easy to understand.

Marketing Videos: Use expert voice-overs for advertisements, product demonstrations, and promotional videos to enhance the marketing content for your brand.

Podcasts: Using AI voice technology, you can produce material that sounds like a podcast, providing your audience with a genuine, human-like experience.

E-learning: AI-generated voices can be included into e-learning modules to provide instructional materials a polished and reliable narration.

Selecting the Best AI Voice-Over Program Numerous AI voice-over tools are available, each with special features. Among the well-liked choices are:

ElevenLabs: renowned for its customizable features and AI voices that seem natural.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag @missamyshay !! Sorry for the delay. Some of these questions were hard to answer, so I ran away, then came back, and ran away, and I apologize for the ramblings.

If anyone has any questions/asks, feel free to…well…ask.

* * * * *

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

70 (Note: Many, of them well under 1K words and one shots. When something starts on Tumblr, it pretty much also goes over to AO3. Even drabbles.)

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

163,518

3. What Fandoms do you write for?

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Marvel Cinematic Universe

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. One Quarter of a Year, 2. Language Lessons, 3. Welcome Home (the sequel to One Quarter of a Year), 4. A Front Yard Situation, 5. Bucky, Cass, and the King of Mardi Gras

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes. I don’t always immediately respond, but I eventually do. Why respond? Because I’m already surprised that anyone reads a thing I wrote. No one is required to leave a comment. They can read and go on to the next, and they do. But if someone reads something I wrote, and wants to tell me that something about it made them want to tell me about it what they liked or what touched them and/or ask a question, or in one case complain about it? It’s an amazing thing to me, so much so that a comment always sends me back to read WTF I could have possibly written that made someone feel this.

6. What is a fic you write with the angstiest ending?

I haven’t written one with an angsty ending. Yet.

7. What’s the fic you write with the happiest ending?

Hmmm…lemme think…

They’re all pretty happy, I think, but the most hopeful, heartfelt ending I think is at the end of Ndinawe when Sarah walks out of the therapist’s office building after her first ever session post-Snap/post-Return, and finds Bucky waiting for her with a little bunch of flowers.

I will leave it to readers to tell me what they think my happiest ending would be.

8. Do you get hate on fics.

There’s that one time someone liked, but complained about 6 words (2 short phrases) in a 300 word ficlet/triple drabble where Sarah and Bucky are in a very quiet and intimate moment, and he says something to her in isiXhosa, which we know he speaks. Then he says it in English, and then in Kreyol, which, in my headcanon, Sarah learned from her parents, who spoke Haitian Creole (Darlene’s family) and Louisiana Creole (Paul’s family). Because Louisiana.

This person was annoyed and couldn’t understand why anything other than English was being spoken even though the translation is in the story and a little Glossary is in the notes..

And when I tried to explain why I chose that and that in canon, Bucky and Sam both speak more than one language, the person commented back that didn’t want to read an explanation…which is why I wrote one anyway.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I write erotica. To my mind, smut is different. And I don’t like the word “smut’. Like how some people don’t like the word “moist”.

I write two middle-aged grownup adult people for whom Communication is important. Even if things are difficult or awkward, they still at least try.

Also, they’re perfectly able and willing to grab a Quickie, and I’ve written at least one Quickie, but in my stories so far, like to take their time when they have the opportunity. Someone once described it as making love “like adults: long, slow, luxurious”.

I think that’s the kind I write.

Maybe that didn’t describe the kind of “smut” I write. If anyone can describe it to me, please do!

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not yet. But I do have something in mind.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of and I hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of, but I would actually like to try to do that myself with help from Google Translate, Language Tutorials on YouTube, and the assistance of native speakers.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes!! Bucky, Cass, and the King of Mardi Gras co-written with The @btwxsixesandsevens. The Paul & Darlene Ship Logs is a A Talk Like a Pirate Day day-long speed write, where @btwxsixesandsevens, wrote Bucky’s Journal entries and I wrote Captain Sarah Wilson’s personal ship logs. And also Snitches which was born from a funny “what would happen if” conversation with @shellyac75. I asked if I could embellish it, stretched it out and make a fic, and was given permission to play.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Bucky Barnes & Sarah Wilson (aka SarahBucky or BuckySarah) from the minute Bucky made it a point to let Sarah know that he was there, and he saw her. And she saw him, right back.

That having been said, if I’d known, when I was a kid, that I could make up my own stories about characters I liked, there is one ship that I would have filled my PeeChee notebooks with: Lt. Nyota Uhura & Spock. Yes, long before JJ Abrams made them a thing, I, in my tweeny brain, felt like something was possible there with those two. Nurse Chapel be damned.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I don’t have one of those. I have a couple of Finished For Now stories that I have plans to revisit and continue, though. They’re not WIPs though. Plus, I’d never not finish a story.

16. What are your writing strengths.

Beats me. Someone who knows about writing techniques will have to tell me. I have been told that when reading my stories, a reader can see where they are and what’s happening.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I overthink and I think I get in the weeds when I write. I’m hyper critical, so I find fault with everything I write. Someone else will have to tell me what my weaknesses are in my writing. I know what they are in my process.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic.

(See #12j I’m not afraid of it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The only fandom I’ve written for: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

That having been said, I may have inadvertently written a drabble/ficlet/thing as an answer to a question that was posed in a Firefly forum on Ravelry (a multi-use community website for knitters and crocheters) probably 20 years ago. People enjoyed it and one commenter said I should write fan fiction, which, at the time, I thought was ridiculous. If I can find it, I may post it on AO3 for shiggles, though the show is long gone. (I know that there are still Browncoats around.)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written.

This is a really hard question because I find fault with every thing I’ve written. Every single thing. And my answer can change sometimes a couple of times during the span of a day!

I’d rather people tell me their favourite, and why, (Soft suggestion: Please feel free!!) but if I had to pick one today right now:

One Quarter of a Year / Welcome Home

I consider these two a single story that has yet to be joined on AO3.

If you ever heard me speak you'd be both A) Surprised in my fluency in English and spot-on pronunciation and B) Infinitely confused by the way I speak because I learnt English from the internet, taking bits and bites from Indonesian storyteller doodle artists, French Trackmania gamers, Japanese manga artist tutorials, Chinese anatomy studies, South African documentaries and yeah drawing tutorials again, meme videos from different parts of USA, AAVE gamers, Polish gamers, Russian gamers, Turkish meme-gamers, Irish skit creators and so on and so forth, ALL speaking English.

My accent is as much as English is a whore Frankenstein, but squared. I have little actual spoken practice with people and don't have my constant accent, but instead I switch between Australian, Irish, sort of German, Scottish and Bri'ish ALL with lots of vibes from AAVE.

Edit Wikipedia! Even if you're not good at writing, there's a lot of little things you can do such as fixing formatting issues, reversing vandalism, using webarchive to preserve or fix dead links, or helping a wiki project to categorize and assess articles. If you're bilingual, you can also help translate articles between languages.

Read Wikipedia outloud! If you have a decent quality microphone on your phone/computer and a clear voice, you can volunteer for the Spoken Wikipedia Wikiproject. Screen readers are far from perfect, and often mispronounce scientific terms, place names, or people names. This Wikiproject relies on volunteers to record themselves reading wikipedia articles so people who can't read (or can't read English) can still access the information.

Hunt for exoplanets! I'm not kidding, this is actually something you can do. It's called Zooniverse Planet Hunters, and it's a citizen science project where you can look at data from the Kepler Space telescope and help find exoplanets. Zooniverse has a lot of other space related projects as well, and it's a really fun thing that pretty much anybody can do. Also, they have projects related to art, history, and the natural world.

Fix furniture. Okay, so I haven't done this one myself, but when my dad was a kid this was basically how he spent all his summers in the 60s and 70s. He'd get furniture his neighbors had thrown out, fix it with second hand tools, maybe buy paint or stainer from the sale aisle or borrow it from neighbors(paint being one of the things many people save but rarely use) and then give or sell it back to them. This one can be expensive, but there's a lot you can do without any form of power tools. Just be careful with older furniture, because some of that might have lead in the paint.

Upcycling/ hand tailoring clothes. One of my current projects that I've been working on for a few years is embroidering on a pair of thrift store jeans-but you could hot glue rhinestones to bags, draw on caps with fabric markers, or add ribbons and sew darts or add gussets to a cute top. Go to your thrift store or raid your own closet and let your creativity run wild!

Beading! Thrift store beads, sale thread and some beading needles. Beading is an art form found in basically every culture, so you're almost guaranteed to find a style that suits your fancy.

Patchwork! My sister thinks you have to be rich to quilt. You do not. Quilting the way we think of it is a very American art form which was basically born from people trying to save every last scrap of fabric, while also being artistic. You can hand quilt old pieces of tshirts together to make a bag, for example, or doll/teddy clothes for the children you know.

Learn a Kpop dance! I know, I know, but it's fun and there's so many free tutorials for easy dances on Youtube.

Playing with plasticine or polymer clay is another really fun idea. You can get the supplies on sale or even find youtube tutorials to make your own clay, but this stuff is so fun. You dont even need any fancy tools-just clay, or many an oven if you want to make your polymer clay creation permanent.

Learn math! Its fun and society tries to tell us, specially us women, that's it's too difficult to ever be fun. However, that is a devious lie. Math is just puzzle solving and you can do it at whatever pace you need. There's so many free resources out there on youtube and the internet for learning all branches of math.

Geneology. It doesnt even have to be your own family history. This one is a bit variable from what country you're from, unfortunately. However, many old records and newspapers are free, so you can literally spend years on this one.

Learn to program! You find find tutorials on YouTube (FreeCodeAcadamy is my favourite) and learn how to build something on your own computer or tablet. Python is a great one to start off with.

Listen to audiobooks or audio dramas! This one goes hand in band with the very first suggestion to read books, but sometimes physically reading something isn't happening for you. Instead, you can get free audiobooks from your library, or check r/audiodrama for recommendations for free audio dramas or podcasts to listen to.

Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:

Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend

knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.

Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial

walking: put on shoes open door

pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial

Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra

gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.

aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.

drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.

writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free

cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.

Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.

candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.

a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.

puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably

Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app

And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.

And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."

Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.

Why English Courses Are Still a Game-Changer in 2025

In today’s competitive world, having strong communication skills is no longer just a bonus—it’s a necessity. And when we talk about communication on a global level, English is still the common ground. That’s exactly why English courses continue to be in high demand across countries, industries, and age groups.

Whether you’re a student aiming for international education, a professional looking to climb the corporate ladder, or someone who simply wants to travel with confidence, enrolling in the right English course can make all the difference.

What Are English Courses?

At their core, English courses are structured learning programs designed to teach or improve a person's command over the English language. They come in different formats—online, offline, part-time, full-time, self-paced, and instructor-led.

Most courses focus on the four major areas:

Reading

Writing

Listening

Speaking

Some also include grammar drills, vocabulary building, pronunciation training, business communication, and test preparation for exams like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE.

Types of English Courses

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to learning English. Here are some of the most popular types of English courses available today:

General English Courses These are perfect for beginners or intermediate learners who want to improve their overall English. You’ll work on sentence structure, grammar, and fluency in everyday conversations.

Spoken English Courses Focused on speaking and pronunciation, these are great for people who understand English but struggle to express themselves verbally.

Business English Courses Designed for professionals, these cover presentations, emails, reports, and workplace communication.

Academic English Courses Ideal for students preparing to study abroad. These courses prepare you for academic writing, note-taking, and participating in university lectures.

Exam Preparation Courses These are targeted at helping you pass international English exams like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE. You’ll get mock tests, tips, and individual feedback.

Online English Courses Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, British Council, and Duolingo offer flexible English courses you can do from home, at your own pace.

Who Should Take English Courses?

The short answer? Almost anyone.

Students who want to pursue studies in countries like the USA, UK, Canada, or Australia.

Working professionals who interact with international clients or wish to work abroad.

Job seekers looking to improve their resumes and interview skills.

Freelancers and entrepreneurs aiming for a global customer base.

Housewives, senior citizens, or anyone who simply wants to improve their language skills for daily use.

Benefits of Taking English Courses

Let’s get straight to the point—why should you invest your time and money into an English course?

Career Growth Better communication means better job opportunities. Many companies prioritize candidates who can speak and write in English fluently.

Higher Education If you plan to study abroad, an English course is your first step toward meeting admission requirements.

Boosted Confidence Struggling with English can make you shy in public settings. Structured courses help build confidence through practice and feedback.

Stronger Social Connections Whether it’s making friends while traveling or interacting in online communities, English helps you connect with people around the world.

Access to Global Information A huge portion of content on the internet, from tutorials to books and research, is in English. Mastering the language opens up a whole new world of information.

How to Choose the Right English Course

Not all English courses are created equal. Here’s what you should look for:

Curriculum: Make sure it covers your weak areas (like speaking or writing).

Instructor Experience: A qualified and engaging teacher makes a big difference.

Flexibility: Online vs. offline, self-paced vs. scheduled—choose what fits your life.

Peer Interaction: Group discussions or partner practice sessions can accelerate learning.

Certification: A certificate from a reputed provider can add value to your profile.

Final Thoughts

English isn’t just another subject. It’s a skill that can open doors—academically, professionally, and socially. With so many English courses available today, there’s truly something for everyone, no matter your starting point.

Whether you’re brushing up your basics or aiming for perfect fluency, an English course can take your learning to the next level. In a world that runs on communication, being fluent in English gives you a clear edge.

If you're ready to take the leap, start researching the best English courses that match your goals. Your future self will thank you for it.

Best Ways to Learn Arabic Online Free Without Spending a Dime

Why Learning Arabic Matters Today

Arabic is one of the most spoken languages in the world, with over 400 million speakers across the Middle East and North Africa. Whether for travel, business, or cultural understanding, learning Arabic opens up real opportunities. But for many, the cost of language courses can be a barrier. Fortunately, there are excellent resources available to help you learn Arabic online free without sacrificing quality.

The Rise of Online Arabic Learning

Technology has transformed how we learn languages. Instead of sitting in a classroom, you can now access lessons, grammar guides, pronunciation tools, and native speakers—all from your laptop or phone. The rise of online learning has made Arabic more accessible than ever. And what’s even better is that many platforms offer their services at no cost.

When looking to Arabic learn online free, you’ll find everything from beginner-level introductions to advanced grammar breakdowns. Some sites specialize in Modern Standard Arabic, while others focus on dialects like Egyptian or Levantine. Video tutorials, interactive exercises, and even chat rooms with native speakers help build both vocabulary and fluency.

What to Expect When You Start Arabic Learning Online Free

If you're just starting out, most free online Arabic programs begin with the alphabet, pronunciation, and basic phrases. It’s crucial to get a solid grasp of how letters are written and pronounced since Arabic is quite different from English in structure and script.

Intermediate learners will find grammar lessons, vocabulary sets, and comprehension tools that deepen their skills. Advanced learners can explore news articles, Arabic literature, and religious texts to challenge themselves further. Consistency is key, so daily practice—even just 15 minutes—can make a big difference.

Common Challenges and How Free Tools Help

Arabic grammar is often seen as complex, especially for English speakers. Verb patterns, gender rules, and the dual form can be confusing. But free online platforms often break these concepts into smaller lessons, making it easier to learn at your own pace.

Another challenge is listening and pronunciation. Online audio resources and speech recognition tools are helpful here. You can repeat phrases, listen to native pronunciation, and compare it to your own—all without needing a tutor.

Finding the Right Resources

Not every free platform is the same. Some focus on vocabulary, while others are heavy on grammar or speaking skills. When looking for effective tools for Arabic learning online free, choose platforms that match your learning goals. Do you want to read newspapers? Speak with locals? Understand Quranic Arabic? Your goal should guide your resource choice.

A mix of formats—videos, quizzes, reading passages—keeps things engaging. Look for platforms that offer structured lessons so you’re not just memorizing random words.

Conclusion: One Place to Start Your Arabic Journey

If you’re serious about mastering Arabic without spending money, start exploring quality online platforms today. One reliable resource that offers structured Arabic learning online for free is al-dirassa.com/en. With lessons tailored for all levels and a clear focus on useful content, it’s a smart place to begin your journey into the Arabic language.
