#speaking my native french
Text
time for you to hear me speak french.
#voice reveal#me reading baudelaire#les litanies de satan#i’m sick so my voice is weird#speaking my native french#it’s funny how voices change#depending on the language spoken#this is sfw by the way

oh also also, baghera getting increasingly french at the end of the timer was so fucking funny and i love her so much, like when her and phil fought and phil killed her and her accent thickened until she abandoned words and made french noises CHEF'S KISS reminds me of when she played outlast w cellbit slime and jaiden and got progressively more french as the night wore on, genuinely had a blast hearing her progressively dropping more and more swears in french
also reminds me of something i THINK i remember, think it was her who said during brazil she kept accidentally speaking french to people because of how close she felt to them
#qsmp#baghera jones#debated on making this post bc i wasn't sure if people would think i was making fun? i'm not trying to; to be clear#it's something i've noticed w baghera in particular and really really love#(personally i trend to a southern drawl; i am not from the american south)#i genuinely really like it#idk if your first language is french and you think this is disrespectful i'll delete it just say the word#mine is english so idk how shitty we can be :( i know we can be awful#((tbh i usually kick Myself if i can't understand an accent bc i'm the damn native speaker i should be good at this language))#((like this is My Fault for not parsing i'm the one who knows what these words MEAN; COME ON))#these went on a tangent but in my defense it's technically 4 am here (daylight savings)#also i was watching team red. the entire event. and then until this very moment.#this speaks for itself i think#shut up vic#block game brainrot

Bishop Myriel in 1.1.4: Être un saint, c'est l'exception; être un juste, c'est la règle. Errez, défaillez, péchez, mais soyez des justes.
Being a saint is an exception; being (a person who is) just is the rule. Err, fail, sin, but be just.
Javert in 1.6.2: Mon Dieu! c'est bien facile d'être bon, le malaisé c'est d'être juste.
My God! It's easy being good, it's difficult to be just.
---
my brain doesn't work atm but I'm gonna leave this here and maybe come back to it later. but you know something something about two different men walking two different paths and considering "being just" different things; the law of God/humanity (i.e. treating everyone just = equally) vs the law of man/authority & the ruling system (i.e. justice is there to protect the 'right people')
#idk if myriel's 'just' has the right connotations in english but well#leni reads les miserables#so i started to read the book. i read it in my native language not french - i don't speak french#i might be annoying about it. or not who knows. you never know with me#i'm so tempted to annotate my hardback copy with translation choices from 1898#but it's not like there's space on the pages lol#but also writing in books is like NOPE for me lol#well i guess we'll see#i'll use tumblr for notes instead i guess lol#javert#les miserables

I love love love that the ccs will be forced to use the translator in order to communicate with the new ccs joining qsmp because that’s what it’s there for!!!!! it’s a translator!!! use it to translate, even if both of you are able to speak the same language!
I don’t see enough people use the translator, especially when the ccs are both able to speak (usually) english, and it’s still great that they can speak easier if they speak the same language, but the language barrier is one of the causes for the creation of the qsmp! Let the language barrier be a barrier in the first place, and let the translator do the work it was meant to do!
Let people who physically can’t speak the same language interact! It’s part of what makes qsmp qsmp, and even though it has impacted hugely just from adding people who generally create content and talk in different languages, I do think it somewhat lacks in the people speaking different languages category, because while that is true, it is also somewhat untrue in that all of the ccs can speak one of the same language (usually english), even if they’re not a natural at it!
Now, that’s not a bad thing at all! But, it does blur the speaking different languages problem that was meant to occur in qsmp. They speak different languages! Let them speak whatever language they want and let the translator do the work! Again, that is what it is there for! It is a translator! (I’m looking at you twitter)
And even if it takes a million repeats of the same sentence for someone to finally get what another person is trying to say, a hundred fuck-ups of the translation or a thousand language barrier/cultural miscommunications, again, qsmp was made for this to happen! It was made so people who come from different backgrounds and are usually unable to interact because of cultural/language barriers can interact, whether it start out negative or positive!
And I trust them (the ccs and fans) to communicate if controversy/confusion happens culturally and language-wise, and (hopefully) for the fans to not turn anything minor** into a huge drama, so I am extremely excited to see the ccs be forced into using the translator!
#I love love love when people use the translator so much like YOU CAN SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND STILL UNDERSTAND EACHOTHER#I just find it so fucking cool as someone who can only speak english fluently#qsmp#qsmp 2024#I love hearing people talk in their native langauges even if I don’t understand shit it’s like woah you can speak and understand this whole#vocabulary without a second thought and I can’t??? Speak to me more in hopes that I will someday because I WANT TO#I want to learn languages so bad but I am caught between two to learn first because i cannot speak my own secondary language that more than#50% of my relatives CAN so I’m like I should learn that first but also spanish french and portuguese is RIGHT THERE and the one I should#learn first is so much harder to learn because of accessibility to lessons and just people who can teach it in general and also school lol#I’m not gonna say the language because I’m 90% sure nobody will know what it is but it is a tonal language which makes it much harder to#learn

felix, who has english as his first language VS kagami, who has japanese as her first language. they are communicating in french to "work on their listening skills" VS marinette who can barely string a sentence together in english or mandarin but knows how to say "i speak french" in both
#marinette's rambles are Not something either of them can process#source: am a native english speaker and ive been watching miss begherajones to get better at my listening. shit dawg.#its hard lsdkfjl but im getting there!! the immersion probably helps those two#still it is such a hilarious concept to me#the weird avant garde film was soley because neither felix nor kagami speak french well enough to communicate it send tweet#miraculous ladybug#miraculous ladybug tales of ladybug and chat noir#marinette dupain cheng#felix fathom#kagami tsurugi

Thinking about the ikepri boys using French since rhodolite is very heavily based of France (and a little bit of England?)
Like Licht saying « je t’adore » or Clavis calling you « ma douce » or Gilbert calling you « Mademoiselle lapine » with a light German accent
#I have no idea why I thought of this#I’m barley comfortable in french it sits in the back of my mind gathering dust bc I don’t use it anymore#idk I think I saw a lot of ppl headcanon Silvio and Gilbert using thier implied native languages and I was like omg I love that#now that I think about it it wouldn’t make sence for the rhodolite boys to have French in th bc they’re already speaking it in canon#UNLESS. mahaps French is what’s predominantly spoken in the capitol and among nobility but the commen folk speak some mix of French+English?#that would make sense esp if you look into the irl history of the English language#now I’m thinking of writing a more concrete headcanon on what language is spoken in rhodolite stay tuned ig??#ikepri licht#licht klein#gilbert von obsidian#clavis lelouch#ikemen prince#ikepri#ikepri headcanons

YA'LL I'M AT MY LIMIT— Someone came today and said "why do you want to defend Latin and Greek so much? They aren't of any use" AND SIR I'M SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU. BUT YOU'RE SPANISH. YOUR LANGUAGE COMES FROM LATIN. USE LATIN INSTEAD OF COPYING ENGLISH WORDS. And then he went and made it worse saying "ok fine, Latin is useful, whatever you say. But Greek? What do you need Greek for?" LIKE DUNNO. IT'S A FUCKING ACTUAL LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN AN ENTIRE COUNTRY WITH YEARS OF HISTORY. PERHAPS THE FACT THAT MANY SPANISH WORDS COME FROM IT. DUNNO BUDDY. IS THAT USEFUL ENOUGH TO YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT???
#WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO STUDY GREEK INSTEAD OF FRENCH#WHATS THE FUCKING PROBLEM#BOTH ARE SPOKEN LANGUAGES YOU IDIOT#no because i don't see anyone seeing this with English#i get it. universal language and bullshit#BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN GREEK SHOULDN'T BE A CHOICE TO STUDY#I'VE STUDIED FIVE LANGUAGES WITHOUT COUNTING MY NATIVE ONE#LANGUAGES DESERVE TO BE LEARN I DONT CARE HOW LITTLE PEOPLE SPEAK THEN#*YOU* SIR SHUT THE FUCK UP#Greek isn't useful. MY ASS#they tried to remove Greek from the subjects option and many people. including me. got mad#you CAN'T get rid of that#cool. you don't want to learn it. it's a choice#but ME and many others want to#and you can't remove that from us#THE FUCJING SPANISH GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS#SO TECHNOLOGY NOW HAS TO BE OBLIGATORY FOR KIDS#BUT THEY CAN'G CHOOSE GREEK BECAUSE IT'S NOT USEFUL ACCORDING TO THEM#IMSOFUCKIBGDONE#rant

Y'all: French is such a weird language
Me, helping my little sister with her English homework: how the heck did I ever learn English, none of this make sense.
I've been thinking a lot about Sofía Vergara's line in Modern Family lately: "Do you know how frustrating it is to have to translate everything in my head before I say it? To have people laugh in my face because I'm struggling to find the words? Do you know how smart I am in [French]?"
Because, like... mood. It doesn't matter how fluent I am in English, or that my friends don't mock me and are very patient with me when I'm struggling in Spanish. I'm never talking to them in my native language, so do they really know me? They've never heard me actually talk, when you consider it.
Doing my thesis defence half in Spanish half in English only made me all the more aware of how much I don't say because I can't say it.
#rapha rambles#languages#native language#secondary languages#good thing: i have been studying and talking english for more than a decade so i'm kinda good at making it make sense now#insane thing: teaching it to my 13yo sister makes me realize how hard it is#anyway i miss speaking french sometimes. i know i talk to my siblings or parents on the phone but it's not the same#i've never watched modern family (or maybe a couple of episodes here and there) but i saw that quote around the web one day#and it just stuck with me ever since because that's my reality

Above is a recording of my first few sections of orals, it's linked to my podcast Google account so thankfully I won't be doxxing myself skdhsksjls, anyway yeah if you click on it you can listen :) I'm not great at pronunciation though so apologies in advance. If you're new here I have a fairly severe speech impediment, and I will take advice and corrections on pronunciation and grammar but not on how to stammer less.
Transcript under the cut:
Ellis: Bonjour Tumblr, et aujourd'hui je vais dire mes réponses à mes questions orales au sujet de l'école et l'université. Donc, la première partie est les questions sur les plans futurs.
1) Je n'ai aucune idée à propos de mon métier futur, par contre il vaut mieux que le travail me fasse plaisir et que je pourrais gagner ma vie. J'espère que je saurai le boulot que je voudrais faire quand j'aurai fini mon diplôme universitaire.
Et alors, le deuxième section est l'études futurs.
2) Mes parents veulent que je fasse un diplôme en gestion, alors que moi, j'aimerais étudier le français et la linguistique au niveau universitaire l'année prochaine.
Mistakes I made and I'm aware I made: should be la deuxième section and les études futurs.
#french#speaking practice#galaxiegoals#ok to rb#mini tag rant: frick you every substitute teacher i've ever had for french making me feel ashamed of my stammer by either#not letting me talk or discouraging me from talking or making me talk longer than everyone else because i hadn't said 'enough' or making#unsolicited comments on how i need to breathe more frick you for docking my confidence and making this the scariest thing i've ever posted#i was less afraid about promoting my podcast where i talk for 30+ minutes at a time than posting this 5 min clip of me speaking french#shout out to every teacher i've had who's been normal about my stammer (99%) and an anti shout out to the english sub who asked me what#traumatic event had happened to me to stammer like that and offered to give me speech therapy after school because#'my friend is a speech therapist so i know loads of stuff; you can also talk to me about What Happened'#anyway#yeah why were my french subs so weird about it like obviously there's native french speakers who stammer too so is their french less 'good'#because of their speech impediment? of course not that's just how they talk!!#my french kinda sucks because of my pronunciation and grammar not my stutter#thank you for coming to my tedtalk#langblr

Ohh Daniel speaks Spanish! You too?
not all that well, unfortunately! daniel speaking spanish (in-game selvadoradan) was something that developed sort of naturally? my fiance speaks spanish rather fluently & some local dialects he learned from people he's worked with, so he helps me with most of my translations and colloquialisms but i also use online translators because... i suck. :|
i am learning though! my coworkers in the kitchen and up front speak spanish and they've been teaching me a lot (i want to communicate with them more as i'm not ignorant to the fact that im a textbook gringa dskfdklfjs) and it's been a wonderful experience! i am more than open to people correcting me and letting me know what's right and what's wrong, etc. i'm very eager to learn more!✨
#but yeaaaah i chose french in highschool because i thought SOMEHOW it'd be easier#guess what language i still don't speak :|#i've had way too many people look at me with guilt and apologize#for not speaking english#and i'm finally at the stage where i'm like#um actually no fuck this#i'm sorry i don't speak spanish#like are you kidding me#i had a woman apologize to me for speaking to her DAUGHTER in their OWN LANGUAGE#and i wanted to shred my skin off my fucking body#living in the south and having to deal with the racist assholes i KNOW#populate every living corner of my 25+ mile radius#like nuh-uh you deal with enough my ass can learn another language ffs#so yes!!! dan speaks spanish with his mother and his siblings#with the language mod he speaks simlish and is natively fluent in selvadoradan thanks to his mama#thank you for asking!!! <3#;ask#;anon

I really wish I'd been medicated/encouraged as a child and given the chance to learn more languages because there's a special kind of joy that comes with linguistic variety in life
#im bilingual but struggle in my home town since we dont have native french speakers here#but im sat by the window listening to my neighbors chat loudly in Ukrainian and its such a lovelylanguage#and i wish i could speak it with them and the elderly couple upstairs y'know?#i wished id been encouraged to learn the various languages of my city alongside the ones in school. so spanish and Ukrainian to start#probably some arabic at some point and some korean as well. it just would be nice to have grown up with even bare bones language#for the different communities i grew up around#i have the curiosity and the brain for it just not the executive function

the only good thing of today is that the american guy who works for us has heard me speaking in english and has congratulated me for my good english
#then he's asked if i speak a third language#like boy#you so innocent#so naive#i speak a third language fluently#and then i can get food and directions and read the press in two more#currently learning two more#studied a semester of another language#and i can understand at least another language#namely:#spanish (native) english (duh) french (third language) arab and japanese (i wouldn't starve around there)#swedish and german (duolingo my beloved) italian (i can speak a little) and then Portuguese (because it's really similar to spanish)#have i bragged? oh yeah i have#am i embarrassed about it? not a single bit
