no language should be mocked other than french
Birds is “oiseaux” in French.
No letter is pronunced the way it should.
And there are seven of them.
ITS PRONOUNCED “WAZO” AND YES, I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT
oiseaux hits every vowel in the french alphabet and manages to only be pronounced with 2 goddamn syllables
got vowels coming out the oiseaux
My thoughts exactly
Why do you guys shit on every Asian language except Japanese and Korean.
I'd guess it's because of the representation of TV shows, pop music bands, and generic dramas.
If other languages got associated with a bunch of trashy (and sometimes good) entertainment, then that'd probably change.
What language do you think in?
I asked my mom because her first language is in Spanish and her answer was “I don’t even know. I don’t even know if I think”
I spoke to a neurologist about this, and he told me that bilingual people have a drastically different thought process than monolinguals.
The way he explained it, monolinguals think in patterns that represent the words they’re thinking of, whereas bilinguals think in a completely different language (an internal ‘third’ language if you will) and then translate from that third language to either one of their native languages.
that makes sense. like… i think in concepts? then i have to decide what language to put it in, depending on the situation. that’s the only way i can think to describe it.
This is the coolest thing I have read in months.
THIS IS HOW YOU REACT TO SOMEBODY ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK A NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.
SIMILARLY, THIS IS ALSO HOW YOU RESPOND TO ASSHOLES WHO LAUGH AT SOMEBODY ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK A NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.
Germans: Oh you’re learning German? Hey, you’re not so bad at it. Don’t fuck it up though.
French: About time you learned French.
Russians, Koreans, Spanish-speakers: WOW YOU’RE LEARNING MY LANGUAGE? LET ME HELP YOU I CAN GET SOME MATERIALS FOR YOU AND RECOMMEND SOME SITES AND VIDEOS, DID YOU JUST SAY “HELLO” IN MY LANGUAGE? YOU ARE SO GREAT WOW I AM SO IMPRESSED
Dutch: but why would you do this
why would you do this
