[kaibacorpintern]

what gets lost in discussions about kaiba's education w/ gozaburo is that they only had about four years of it, and then gozaburo unexpectedly died. granted, the text indicates kaiba was a little baby genius, and we do know gozaburo crammed his schedule with social sciences and economics and languages, so he probably DID learn a hell of a lot. but i think sometimes we're like, "oh, gozaburo definitely taught this 12 year old how to hold his liquor," as though this wasn't something that could've waited until he was 18 or so, and as though anyone would expect a 12-year-old to drink with the adults at a business dinner, and as though gozaburo was planning to die sooner rather than later (teaching kaiba to hold his drink is one example of this.) like it doesn't make sense that kaiba's education was "complete" by the time gozaburo died.* some parts of kaiba's education as Capitalism's Best Most Neoliberal Avatar have to have been incomplete due to gozaburo's death. imo.

*all of this to say, in terms of being a ruthless villainous bastard who will eat up anyone in their path, gozaburo probably looked at seto sitting across the table during the takeover and thought, "there is nothing else i can teach him," and left, through the window. THAT part of the education was complete

#kaiba doesn't know how to drink. he hasn't even mastered french. he's only level 4 (intermediate) in the piano books #intern memo

Poésie mercredi#4

"L'Oiseau de Nuit" by Jean Cocteau

L'oiseau de nuit, il vole sans bruit Il est seul dans la nuit, il est seul dans la ville Il cherche une lumière, il cherche une étoile Il voudrait trouver une âme, il voudrait trouver un abri Mais la ville est froide, et personne ne le voit.

Every Wednesday, I share French poetry here on my blog.

5 year plan

#i reach A2 level russian by the time i graduate next spring #then i can spend the summer doing intermediate-level open university courses either at my hometown or remotely #once i reach a decent understanding of russian i'm going back to french to brush it up and study for DALF C1 certificate #ideally this involves simultanously finding a phd position in france. but i can also do without that #if i get a job in germany instead the french plan gets pushed back in favour of my Get Fluent In German In 3 Months Scheme (not clickbait) #idc if this is unrealistic #if i'm to go do a phd in physics it is imperative i find something completely unrelated to do in my free time to maintain my sanity #the five year plan is by the time i get a doctorate i will also simultaneously be fluent in at least one more language

POV: You are a Royal Navy captain in 1808 and have successfully captured a French frigate, but as the French captain hands you his sword you misgender one of the ship's boats.

#age of sail #shitpost #napoleonic wars #pic is from @innerfrench which is actually a great youtube channel for intermediate spoken french learners

*doesn’t have a flag but i’m also fluent in bekwarra, which is just a nigerian dialect. good luck looking it up tho. it’s a dying language

#i also wanna have an intermediate fluency level in all of these before i’m 25 #from now till 2025 i’ll focus jst on french and korean then once bts comes back ill ease of korean and try and go back to japanese maybe #also pidgin english is a nigerian english dialect that’s a mix of english and the most widely spoken languages #so a huge part of pidgin is english yoruba and igbo but there’s a lot of loanwords from other nigerian ethnic groups #anyways i jst really like languages #growing up everyone around me was at least bilingual so

Swiss culture is feeling like you never know enough languages because you keep meeting people who speak like 1527839302 languages and leave you feeling like you need to work/study harder.

#it serves as motivation though #i participated in a study #in which i had to have a group discussion with a few other participants #and there was this girl who spoke english; french; italian; german; kurdish and arabic (iirc) #and i was like 'and here i thought i could flex with having dreamt in 5 languages before' 😭😂 #i would say it's also impressive if i was actually proficient in all 5 languages #but i'm only fully fluent in two (or three if you want to distinguish between german & swiss german) #while i'm advanced (i think......?) at the third #and a lower intermediate (if even lol) at the 4th #and a beginner at the 5th😂 #(and i'm currently not studying the 5th) #but ahhh i wish there was more (leisure) time to study languages #because it's so enriching to acquire knowledge in different languages and compare mindsets of people from different cultures #how cool would if be if we could speak every language there is #that would be a superpower i'd love to have #kachu rambles

[sadbeautifutragic]

i started learning japanese on top of french and it's been a lot™️

#i started about two weeks ago and i have hiragana mostly committed to memory #now i'm working on katakana and some basic kanji #i'm an intermediate in french so that can take a back seat rn #as for norwegian i put that on pause 😅

[zoshchenko]

1 down, 2 to go! (russian and either french or ukrainian) 

#i'm hoping to do a ukrainian language intensive this summer - but i have to decide on where #and i'm hoping to get back to french -- i reached beginner intermediate but now i'm so rusty lmao #phd life #phdblr

Poésie mercredi#8

"Petite philosophie" by Agnès Varda

Les feuilles mortes tombent et se ramassent, Les amitiés naissent et se délassent, Les coeurs battent et les gens se lassent, Mais la vie continue, c'est une éternelle farandole.

this might sound random but if you suffer from doomscrolling (ugh dont we all) and feel bad about it, try switch your apps to other apps that help grow ur brain!! like kindle, audible, podcasts, heck even fun puzzle games, or something to help you learn a new skill like duolingo or some course on youtube!! I know you don't want to hear it but trust me it actually works! I cant cut it out cold turkey but I can swap them for something else and still stimulates my brain and gets it moving! Take it from me, I have been learning languages for a whole two weeks now and its actually like "wow I did that!! go me!!!"

try find a new skill or hobby that makes you and your brain happy!!! teach yourself things! learn new things!!! ahhhh there are so many things out there my friends!!!

#been relearning french and trying a go at german too #did french all through high school and a little bit of german in intermediate - so I am v rusty but it is slowly coming back to me!! #and my brain really likes it!!! #gamifying it obviously helps too #look its not perfect and definitely dont ask me to write it - just yet. but it makes my brain feel good #even trying high valyrian from game of thrones (YEAH IK NERD ALERT) - which is a damn fictional language but it makes my brain happy #also studying my fave novels in my free time is fun too - yeah im a nerd we get it #paige talks

[spellshite]

[Distant stare, looking outstide the rickety office]

...but

...if I buy a book in French and read it, it'll suffice to jog my memory without having to submit myself to duolingo's agony or waste money in a language course when I technically know the language but I'm so rusty I can't speak it anymore?

#shitpost #language #i had also a certification for intermediate level but it was 11 years ago #this time at the camping made me suffer bc we had often ppl speaking only french and i was cringing bc brain worked only in english

[musicinthebranchesoftheveins]

Oh THANK GOD

#phidamaya #they're still offering intermediate Dakota this fall I SURE AS SHIT was not about to enroll in French again

[ravixen]

U being a French teacher is so cool but also lmao same @ ur tags I took Spanish classes but I'm still doubtful to speak but I properly know more than Joshua 😂

the way mingyu followed with saying that he's studied japanese for 5-6 years...it's cute that they try to speak in other languages and the effort is appreciated and i love josh, but this boy did not just try to convince everyone that he speaks spanish LMAOOOO

#it's funny whenever people say that idols are language geniuses after saying hi in another language #no names but (wendy) #for me there's a difference between saying an idol spoke a language (a phrase or word) #and saying that an idol is a speaker of a language (intermediate+) #but that's me being nitpicky cuz i just took another exam to prove my french fluency AGHHHHHHHH #katalk #haylo4ever.reply #mutuals #elv!!
