ok so I'm fluent in two languages and I'm preparing to become fluent in a third and fourth, and can I just say it's so beautifully rewarding to read books in my second language?

I've gotten so tired of reading books in English. It's always been my strongest skill, I started at a very young age, and the reason that I started learning new languages was so that I could read books in other languages.

I got tired of reading and I thought I just hated reading in general after high school/college, but I've just picked up a book in my second language and it's the best thing I've ever experienced. I can enjoy reading again because of this.

I've been working on my French and I really like having something to do that's at my own pace. What languages do you speak or wish to speak/learn?

I know that people say a lot of negative things about Duolingo but when you're too shy to talk to native speakers it really provides some good content and has been helping me tons with particles (even if he scares me sometimes)

when you have a way to use fandom to speak about activism except no u don't bc it would require knowing how to spell, speak and understand archaic Hebrew and I can't fucking do that

...genuinely, any anti-zionist, anti-genocide, pro-palestinian hebrew scholars with an appreciation for fandom and/or high cringe tolerance wanna help me out?

Language uses us as much as we use language. As much as our choice of forms of expression is guided by the thoughts we want to express, to the same extent the way we feel about the things. Two words can be synonymous in their denotative sense, but one will be used in ease a speaker feels favorably toward the object the word denotes, the other if he is unfavorably disposed. Similar situations are legion, involving unexpectedness, interest, and other emotional reactions on the part of the speaker to what he is talking about. Thus, while two speakers may be talking about the same thing or real-world situation, their descriptions may end up sounding utterly unrelated.

<...>

If a little girl "talks rough" like a boy, she will normally be ostracized, scolded, or made fun of. In this way, society in the form of a child's parents and friends, keeps her in line, in her place. This socializing process is, in most of its aspects, harmless and often necessary, but in this particular instance - the teaching of special linguistic uses to little girls - it raises serious problems, though the teachers may well be unaware of this. If the little girl learns her lesson well, she is not rewarded with unquestioned acceptance on the part of society; rather, the acquisition of this special style of speech will later be an excuse others use to keep her in a demeaning position, to refuse to take her seriously as a human being. Because of the way she speaks, the little girl - now grown to womanhood - will be accused of being unable to speak precisely or to express herself forcefully.

<...>

So a girl is damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. If she refuses to talk like a lady, she is ridiculed and subjected to criticism as umfeminine; if she does learn, she is ridiculed as unable to think clearly, unable to take part in a series discussion: in some sense, as less than fully human. These two choices which a woman has - to be less than a woman or less than a person - are highly painful.

A question for anyone who has completed a language on Duolingo, do they ever teach swear words? Cause if I know how to talk to someone normally, I need to know how to cuss them out as well.

Daily plan 1, December 3rd 2022

Today is one of the rare Saturdays where I don't have to work, so I'll be going to the library in the late morning/early afternoon. Afterwards I will make onion soup for a family dinner we will be having tomorrow. After not having had time to do so for a good 3 weeks I want to just play some video games tonight, but we'll see if I get to it.

Planning~

Finish up the cultural readings

Get started on the Historical readings

Finish an online class on the territorialization of cyberspace

Learn the upcoming week's vocabulary

Write a motivational email to apply for a classical chinese extracurricular

Write an email to the education administration about not being able to reserve a spot in our Asian library
