#french target language

[lameravigliadoro]

my langblr introduction! hallo!!

age : 22 yo stress ball

name : klara (you can call me klar)

pronouns : she/them

my target language during the 2023 summer : german

languages i know : italian (advanced), chinese (beginner to intermediate, french (native), english (fluent) (i hope)

centres of interest : linguistics, politics, impressionism, arts and crafts, cinema, queer history

i'll post my german journey as much as possible. i'm going to live for at last one year in germany, so i need to get back to german and get better at german. like a lot of french high schoolers, i studied german as part of the compulsory course but did not actually enjoy it nor did i learn anything from it. so the main goal here is to reunite with my inner teenager and make peace with them ⁀➷

what i like to do when studying languages is journaling/writting in TL, revising lists of vocab and going through the grammar points one by one.

then, i'll look for podcasts in german and youtubers, radio broadcasts, free online newspapers and TV series so that i can practice my listening comprehension.

anyway, don't hesitate to interact, and if we share a common TL/language, get in touch, i love to make friends and getting to know more abt this world <33 also i don't wanna let my italian die, quindi raga, parlami in italiano!

see you soon! a presto, tschüss!ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

Hey, I started a language learning club at my local library so that there is a space for language learners to practice, share resources and be with like minded people. Made an eventbrite program for it so that it will be easier to share it.

Watch me construct absolutely unintelligible sentences on the 25th no one translator will save any of us

#im very embarrased about my inability to construct sentences in french #but this is for learning. i am strong and brave #text bits #i know the point is target language or native language but what if i have 3 target languages what then

as i near the end of the main story in cassette beasts, i had a few minor gripes with it but i think my biggest issue with the game is also kind of a compliment to it

i wish it had more writing. the game has a really interesting premise and world (that's almost frustratingly targeted at my tastes lol) and i think if anything it felt like it was scared to lean too far into it.

i dont blame it for not wanting to wear out its welcome or alienate people who were more interested in it for the gameplay! players are very harsh on the writing in indie games. but imo ... if you dont like to Read Text maybe rpgs arent the genre for you. i think cassette beasts would have felt deeper and more complete if it afforded itself the time to really delve into its ideas.

#mine #pokemon has relatively little text and straightforward writing because its target demographic is children #(btw theyre fun games to play when learning a language bc of that. i played xy in french in high school.) #creature collection is not automatically a childrens' subgenre #more recent digimon titles like cyber sleuth and survive are targeted at older demographics and their writing reflects that

wpuld love to learn russian someday, i am so fucking scared of that language. why does that letter that looks like N sound like that. i alresdy struggle to read english and its the only language i know . my brain reads русские as picnic. im sorry russki friends

#FOR CONTEXT: im scared because the more similar aspects of a language are to english- the harder it is for me to disconnect it from english #thus making it harder for me to turn OFF the english in my brain and start thinking in my target language #im also scared of french #creature speaks

Perhaps a hot take but i dont think you should make fun of someone for their language/accent no matter how much you hate the country they come from

#txt #i keep seeing it and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #you can hate the french but don't target the individual people #also french sounds nice. it seems like a fun language to learn

spelling english words that end in -est like -êt because the french ê being a replacement for es is so incredibly funny to me.

#its the funniêt thing in the world #i Would reintroduce the s in french ê words however that just makes it vaguely spanish or english #forest..... chasteau..... idk not as funnyas going youre the prettiêt to my french friend unprompted #my most belovedêt #acctually its not funny its just entertaining. and satisfying. i think. #target audience of me #language #argentashes #im going insane btw i need to be eaten by mushrooms STAT

Im never happy with my progress in language learning. Especially when it comes to Russian. But it is always fun to see a random phrase in the wild and know what it means.

#it’s even better when it’s not even a target language for me #seeing Swedish/French/Arabic phrases and having a sudden brain blast is my favorite thing. I love language #I’ve also done this with polish once but that was just the word bread LMAO. #if you tell me a phrase in another language I WILL commit it to memory for the rest of my life. fair warning #my target languages are ASL (<- pretty good but out of practice) and Russian (<- nowhere near where I want to be) #my goal is to be conversationally fluent in Russian. if anyone has any language learning tips/resources I’m always looking for more

Ciao !! We’re finally on day 4! I had time today at work and I asked myself what my vocabulary list should be about ? So I searched for themes, the one that came first was “things in my room”. I find it very interesting to list everything that was in my room but finally I decided, the first, more obvious, was… Hotel lexical field !!! I am now working for 4 months in a hotel with people I love and I think this was actually a good everyday idea for proper communication with customers. I actually believe this is a good idea for people who want to book rooms, even if there is a problem with something, you will always have these words next to you. My native language is French and I know a lot of people are learning it so I decided to do a three version of this vocabulary; one in Italian, one in English and also one in French. if you think i made mistakes or if you think we can say anything else for some words, don't hesitate to say it ! <3

Did PB hire translators for the German versions of their books or...?

And if they did hire translators, did they hire native speakers?

#bc not to be mean or anything but some of their titles and chapter descriptions sound like google translate #i'm kinda scared to see actual in-game text #the question goes for french & spanish as well but ig you can get away with doing word for word translations or keep the sentence structure #when translating from english to french; at least more than when translating to german #anyways i mostly just have gripes with the titles bc just bc they're “technically” right doesn't mean you should translate word for word #the only good translation (imo) is Sehnsucht und Sittsamkeit and ig Blutsbande can get a pass even though it's boring #im gonna be salty abt this for a long time. nobody try to stop me #actually im also asking bc im curious #and also bc i believe that in literary translation translating with some distance from the source material and focus more on the meaning #and making the sentence feel natural in the target language should take precedence over #staying as close as possible to the source material and the choices books fall under literary translation. at least for me #(this is just my opinion tho; i'm aware translators have preferences and so do the companies hiring them although the company's opinion is #usually wrong #choices #pixelberry #playchoices

a girl's relationship to watching avatar the last airbender in six different languages is something that can actually be so personal

season change is upon us, is there any outfit you're excited to bring back into rotation? colors you are partial to? how about accessories/shoes? If you don't live in a place with seasons (or a place with negligible seasonal change/just feel like answering smth else), what is your favorite outfit lately?

The weather hasn't transitioned to fall here yet, but the stores are rolling out Halloween stuff and pumpkin spice treats already 🎃

My wardrobe hasn't really rotated much in the last few years, since I've been stuck at home for 4 years now, with the pandemic hitting about 1.5 years into that. I don't spend a lot of time outside anymore and tend to dress according to indoor conditions. Also, I've never been one to change the colours of my clothes according to the seasons, I just wear whatever colours I feel like at that moment.

However, I did recently go to some outdoor drag shows and was able to dress for hot weather! I have a hard time finding shorts I like, so I usually wear short skirts or short dresses to stay cool. Due to EDS, I have venous insufficiency, where the veins in my legs struggle to pump blood back to my heart, which means I need to wear compression socks in the heat, but I'm still on the search for some that don't look awkward on their own (they're sheer so they don't quite look like socks, but they're knee-high so they don't look like stockings, either), so I always cover them with either knee-high socks or full-length leggings. I got new glasses a few months ago and I always get two pairs at a time, one pair that's colourful and one that matches all my outfits.

When I went to see Ilona Verley, I wore my yellow Pikachu shirt and a skirt from Rancid Yogurt that I can't find the product photo for, but it has the same print as these leggings:

For accessories, I brought my tiny pink backpack, I wore a necklace that's silver with white gems on a star-shaped pendant, I had grey socks with bows on the outer sides, I had a light yellow floral-printed bow in my hair, and my mask was a pastel rainbow gradient. My shoes were what I usually wear, black Converse high-tops with white rubber and white stitching, since I like how they look, it's easy to find another pair whenever old ones need to be replaced, and the high tops are very supportive for hypermobile ankles. The makeup I wore was pink eyeshadow, pink lipstick, and pink glitter. I wore my new glasses that are yellow squiggles throughout clear plastic.

When I saw Saltina Shaker, I had 4 different plaids in my outfit in the form of a skirt that was black and white plaid, a hair bow that was a different black and white plaid, a mask that was red and black plaid, and a flannel shirt that was another type of red and black plaid. Under the flannel shirt, I was wearing the shirt I got at a Green Day concert that's black and white with a design of an American flag where the stripes are made of barbed wire. I'm not completely sure what accessories I had for this one, but I know I had socks that looked like skeleton legs, and I think I may have been wearing my ring that's silver with a grey gem and/or the black and red Green Day bracelet that I'd bought matching ones of for myself and my pen pal from grade 11 French class. I had the same pink backpack as when I saw Ilona, but I didn't have a bag that was fun and also matched this outfit, so I just went with the backpack. My makeup was red eyeshadow, red lipstick, and gold glitter. I wore my other new glasses that are transparent grey with a beveled look; I call them my crystal glasses because they look kinda like gems.

My physical health is finally getting better, so hopefully I can go outside and wear fun outfits more often again :)

#and about the pen pal #my grade 11 french teacher had a friend who was an english teacher in france #so they had their classes write each other letters to practice the target languages in a more practical sense #since we wrote to them in french and they wrote to us in english #and we could discuss any topic we wanted instead of beinf restricted to the curriculum #and anyways #i got randomly partnered with a girl who just so happened to like green day too #and she told me about a french band she liked and i told her about marianas trench from here in canada #and then at christmas i went to hot topic and bought us matching green day bracelets #and she sent back a maybelline eyeshadow single and a tiny bottle of nail polish #(judge me if you want but i still have the eyeshadow 9 years later and it still stands up with brand-new shadows that i buy) #(unfortunately i dont think they make it anymore bc i cant find it for sale online)

rewatching the first ep of Wangan (with no subtitles because i know the first ep by memory like weirdo) after actually intensely learned a bit of common japanese vocabulary and how the grammar+word structure works, i can actually fucking understand and recognize words

god damn!

#ivan.docx #wangan tag #im in my japanese langauge era rn #actually having content in the target language that i can immerse myself in and that i actually like is a BIG help in learning #its probs why French and Russian never really stuck for that long. not enough native content for my autismo ass

If you're upset about duolingo firing it's translators, you should check whatever the equivalent to the BBC is for your target language (or the BBC if that language is English, but if your target language is English and you're reading this I think you're good) because a lot of major national news organizations have resources for learning their language. For example, DW has resources to learn German, NHK has resources for learning Japanese, TV5monde has resources for learning French. They're usually free (or at least, I haven't encountered one that's paid yet) and usually pretty comprehensive (though like with all language learning apps/websites def supplement it with other resources)
