Do other multilingual people also struggle with interjections or onomatopoeia differing vastly between their native language and, for example, English?

I always have to catch myself when I have been writing in English and went “uh-huh” but particularly “uuuh” and “oooh” because in my native language (German) what is the English “ooooh” is “uuuh” and is also pronounced as such. So it’s a bit of a hang up to switch between English “uuuuh, yeah, so that happened” and German “uuuh, [that’s fancy]”

Another thing that has confused people before is German “Eh”/ “Äh” and “ey” because the German equivalent of English “eeeh, so that happened” would be “Äh, ja, [so that happened] and “ey” is a German interjection I can’t put my finger on right now, mostly to catch someone’s attention like English “hey” or for emphasis. But it’s these little words also, “Öh” being a German variant for things like “uuuh, what?”

And of course the beloved “Hä?” which is “huh?” but feels different like “huh” is “what is going on?/ is that so?” and “Hä?” is “the fuck are you talkin’ about?” (Especially with German grannies insisting “Das heißt nicht „hä?“, das heißt „wie bitte?““)

And while I’m at it, I want to say I miss “doch” because of its versatility.

I can’t even say in which capacity this impacts my third and fourth(ish) language because I’m still a beginner and don’t really chat in those but this massive dissonance catches me often because essentially 90% of my online life is in English and currently 80-90% of my WhatsApp conversations are in German (though my cousin, my best friend, and I use so many English loan words or just have the English words at-the-ready quicker than the German words it’s not even funny)

Hey if you're someone with a speech impediment and want to learn another language but feel discouraged by not being able to pronounce it perfectly, Don't.

Allow yourself to learn another language. Even if you can't speak it fluently or perfectly, allow yourself to learn it.

You're allowed to not be fluent. You're allowed to have a speech impediment in multiple languages.

Listen if Anakin doesn't lapse into either Huttese, Amatakka, or some form of slave creole whenever he's sufficiently upset/distracted/semiconscious/etc and if Obi-Wan doesn't pick up Anakin's first language to be able to understand him in those moments then what's even the point of living?

#anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #first language #second language #amavikka #amatakka #huttese #tatooine slave culture #obi wan is polyglot but he would never have known THIS language until he met anakin #imagine him working his ass off gaining the trust of some former slave to learn amatakka for anakin's sake #they dgaf about 90% of what makes him such a great diplomatic but they DO give a fuck abt community & kindness & discretion & empathy etc #basically they want obi-wan not the negotiator #and the journey it would take for him to figure that out #all while learning more & more shit that sheds light on anakin's pre temple traumas #you better hug him tight knight kenobi #all im saying is when you love someone you love the culture that nourishes them too #and like. when you love someone you want to understand them.#i have a special weakness for learning as a love language

We are not native English speakers

Of course we will check every post for mistakes like 3 times

(And they will still be there)

Of course we will NOT remember irregular verbs

Of course we will hate past times

And after learning all of them we'll understand that nobody use them on tumblr or AO3

(And there will be still mistakes that people will notice)

Of course we don't know what does this word actually mean, but we've got the vibe

Of course google translate is bullshit

Of course we have HARD time reading AO3

Of course we will ask the fuck tbh btw gn pos idk and other shit mean

Of course our swearing words are only "fuck" and "shit". (Also blyat suka yebany rot tebya nanuy sometimes)

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'm always seeing people complaining that they are bad writers, that their writing isn't "good enough"...

But becoming a "good" writer takes time.

It isn't even a destination. Writing is a journey and you become better with every story you work on.

I've posted my first fanfiction in English in 2017 and sometimes I go and re-read my old stuff. And I cringe. I can see everything I did wrong. But it's comforting in a sense, because I see the progress!

It's not only because I'm becoming more fluent. I see it in my older fics in French. I can see how I learned how to structure the story better. I goes beyond the language I use.

Anyways, what I meant to say is: writing is a skill, not a gift. Like with any other art, you need to work, practice, to hone it. Even if it's bad at first. You'll get better.

I know it's frustrating sometimes when you compare yourself to these authors you admire. I get it. But it doesn't mean that what you have to say is less important because you haven't learn how to formulate it the way you want.

Writing is the only requirement to be a writer. (Yep, jokes aside).
