Me, having the most horrific blunder of my life:

"Tak, necesito comer chleb, prosze?" :)

I am not Spanish, but I definitely know this Archie Sonic issue. I absolutely love how Tails wishes him good luck, and Amy is all like, "He is my hero!"

In short, Ames got her ass kicked by Knuckles, who, with one attack, won the fight by sending her flying. Proves how fucking strong that knucklehead is!

But it's still funny to see her trying to act normal while literally acting like she is some princess in a fairytale (which would make sense if we remember her cousin, Pre-SGW)

“Amore et Timore” - King Fernando I “El Animoso”

A little Scooby Doo “fanart” thing heavily based off the following pic of Alaska y los pegamoides (a New Wave group from the early 80’s in Spain 😁😁😁). Retrospectively the staring at the camera reminded me of the intro shot in the original scooby doo where Velma is reading a book and is at the centre. :-)

i recently started (well... restarted) taking russian classes on duolingo and i am thinking about how neat the langauge is

like (and please correct me if i'm wrong on this)

from my understanding so far, there are no articles and there is no direct translation of be because they are inherently tied to the word they are describing

i can't figure out how to word it super great (it's 3am and i am Sleepy) but i just think it's so cool that it's like that

russian is a really neat language :)

shout out to the people who felt the need to make fun of native spanish speakers who don't know certain words in spanish

not my fucking fault no one ever called shrimp gamba in front of me

dialects are thing

anyways ive always called shrimp camarón and that should not mean that im a failure at spanish

my zulian mom when her child came out speaking valencian gay spanish instead of maracucho or formal spanish

further evidence that my cousin’s shitbag nazi husband was a total shitbag: he lived in western washington with an american spouse for EIGHT YEARS (after a year in california before THAT) and never picked up more than the most rudimentary english. I have been in Montreal for TWO DAYS and feel like an asshole for not speaking fluent French, to the point where I’m doing my best to speak it when I can even though I know fuckall.

i don't even know if i WANT to finish nursing at this point, like i fucking hate college rn and it's only an associates program but like. please i am so tired professors let me fucking sleep

i never spoke or understood a target language better than when i was unemployed and just spent hours bingeing tv in that language

No puedo Uriel no puedo Uriel puede no puedo una familia de ella ya no me bien

El ya no puedo una vez me dijo gusto saber cómo está quiero 🖕💋💋💋💋💗💗💐💐 flores

anon i'm gonna be honest i am extremely confused right now 😭 is this a song or a meme or a quote from a telenovela

i love finding out how big this world is. my girlfriend has only visited boston a handful of times, but i grew up here. i told her we'd be going to do the tourist traps in salem, and she said - which salem?

to be fair to her, there are a lot of other states that have a town named "salem." and i think there's some evidence that the witch trials actually happened in what is now called Danvers. but the thing is - she thought "salem" was like, a made-up thing. there wasn't actually a salem, massachusetts - like there isn't a gotham city.

they don't talk about it that much where she grew up, is the thing! and this made me laugh. a week ago she was talking about her hometown and said something akin to "well the museum's kinda like the one in richmond," and i had to explain i still had no frame of reference for what the hell this museum was like.

i love finding out what knowledge i take for granted. i used to live with 5 other women. 3 of them were from south korea. they had to take, like, a solid fifteen minutes to explain their birthday system to my gay math-blind ass, laughing as they did.

that same month, our roommate from denmark taught me the danish word for wreath by accident - she'd been talking about decorations, used krans, and i'd been able to figure it out through context. i just picked it up and kept talking. our entire house used krans as the word. she came home and slammed the door one evening, mock-angry, shouting: you motherfuckers! it's a - a wreath!

and how often do you use certain words, anyway! i am cuban, so i was raised with certain spanish words sort of sprinkled in there; but never how you'd think. in middle school i asked someone to pass me the recogedor - in a completely american accent, like i was speaking english. i hadn't registered it as a spanish word. i mean, how often in school do you actually use the word "dustpan" - i'd only ever heard it in the context of cleaning my house.

there are places that you grew up that you, just, like, know. that you assume everyone knows. there are things and people and "common knowledge" that you have that, just, like. doesn't exist for me. i don't know what you call your public transportation system, but in boston we call it "the T". our train cards are called charlie cards because of a song where a father accidentally abandons his family, which was written because our system of transportation. in boston, most people would snort and say everyone knows that, kid.

i think you and i should go on a long walk - it's getting dark early these days and we need any sun we can manage. tell me about the first time you saw snow. tell me about the stuff everyone knows about your home. tell me about the cities "everyone's been to," about the food "everyone's already tried." who knows. maybe it will feel nice to you - watching someone learn about it for the very first time.

fun fact! (aka my linguistic demons)

in every language I have ever tried to learn except for english, I have consistently mixed up the words translating to "to speak" and "to say"

no matter the context

no matter if I am actively translating a passage

no matter if I have those two words written on a post-it in front of me

it is always the one I don't expect

I hate the Spanish class I'm taking so much
