Hey unironically i think i should be hired by streaming sercives to fix their subtitles. I think there should be a way for viewers/streamers to report bad or inaccurate subtitles or ways they could be improved. I think they should be able to ask for better translations or ask to be told what language is being spoken if they switch languages. I think this should be an option for big blockbusters and random indie movies and international shows/movies and i think streaming companies should stop paying for the cheapest fucking options for their captioning

#this post brought to you by Highlander (1986) on Amazon Prime having the shittiest subtitles ive ever seen #un-synced #when it wasn't dialogue it just said Noise & Music constantly #and also that post about netflix not saying what language is being spoken and that effecting your understanding of the story #and also that one time prime had a show that just had a character saying Speaks Cantonese so you didn't get half the conversation #and the english subtitles for Squid Game not having any captions when anyone spoke english but they were all masked so they were muffled and #i couldn't read their lips so ironically i only understood the korean in that show #feel free to add on to this post

in an ideal world i could just spend all my time studying languages

#i’ve been trying to pick another language to study but man…. #so much to consider #will this language be useful to me? #do i want to go to a country where this language is spoken? #considering finances will i be able to find people locally to practice this language with? #should i wait until i’m back in school and start my studies formally? will i have time? #since korean is grammatically close to japanese and i already passively ingest a lot of korean pop culture i figure it’s a good option #and it would be interesting to be able to study the linguistics of both japanese and korean #and compare and study the history #especially if i do end up looking towards getting a phd #i doubt it tho #and realistically am i gonna go to korea??? i can barely decide whether i want to go back to japan dhskdhdj #tirah talks

I was wondering, what languages *do* you speak? (and for academic curiosity's sake - do you have any advice on holding more than two languages in your head at the same time without mixing them up?)

*cracks knucles* OK SO i speak swedish (native language 1), vietnamese (native language 2), finnish (born and raised in finland), english (went to international school), and french (studied for 10+ years)

Also sidestory i lowkey count german too because i understand german through english/swedish osmosis + living in germany for half a year as a kid + studying it in high school for a year despite it literally overlapping classes with my french classes but they were like damn this kid already known one million languages just let her do whatever 👍 so i went to the german lessons instead of french but still turned in the french homework etc for an entire year. also they mistook me for a native speaker in austria once. but i still don't speak german tho not really

For me since most of my languages i learned early in childhood, they're pretty much ingrained and separated enough to not mix up in every life.

I did sometimes mix up the languages in my head when i was simultaneously learning french and german (+ italian over that summer. and briefly russian also. i'm so normal i promise) and i basically just had to spend more time on one than the other so that they would be less even. Something like studying the main language every day and the side one only on weekends etc.

That's the only advice i can think of tbh. I think being exposed to so many languages since a young age my brain is just naturally able to juggle a bunch of them without too much confusion lol

#sorry i can't give language learning advice like a normal person dhsjfhsjdjs #for reference. i am currently staying in the netherlands for the summer. and i just Understand things. #before i even came here i was looking at housing adverts and i didn’t even realise when i was reading one in dutch instead of english #i have not taken a single lesson of dutch in my entire life #what else is there. oh yeah i understand spoken + written norwegian too. it comes free with the swedish subscription #russian also. took sporadic lessons of it in high school and last week i downloaded duolingo and the placement test made me skip 12 units #but now i'm learning it for real this time #sorry i don't mean to flex fhsjdjks languages are like. idk. my brain just absorbs them #let's not go into the amount of japanese and korean and chinese i understand just from watching dramas

hnnng i cant believe im here or sublimation for the WIP ask game??

hnnng i cant believe im here contains 5 false starts at the oikawa as an idol au that ive surely mentioned like a hundred times in passing at this point lololol. have a snippet from false start #4!!

She smacks his arm and shoves her obnoxiously large phone in his face. “You had a world-famous idol drunk in your room!” His nerves dissipate, replaced by confusion. “What?” Claire shakes her phone, almost hitting Hajime’s nose. “Look at this sweatshirt. How did Tooru get your sweatshirt?” There’s a paused video on the phone. In the frame, two men stand at a table against a generic studio background, and at a second glance, the one on the right is wearing a very familiar boro patch-worked navy blue UC Irvine sweatshirt. And, at a third glance — “Oh, my god,” Hajime says. With styled hair and makeup, he looks different, but could he be …? “How did you not recognize him?” Claire shouts. “An idol!” “Do I look like someone who knows what an idol is?” Claire groans, dropping her phone on the desk and sinking into Hajime’s test subject chair. Curious, Hajime unpauses the video. It’s in Korean, but it has English subtitles, which he can work with. At first, the man wearing Hajime’s sweatshirt doesn’t seem familiar, but then he starts complaining to his partner, and there’s no mistaking that whining voice. This man is absolutely the drunk stranger Hajime babysat two months ago.

#false start no 4 and no 5 are the most drastically diff #because i abandoned no 4 when i realized i find the 'childhood friends' aspect of iwaoi rather crucial to their dynamic #ask game #no 5 is from just tooru's POV and it has been ~fun trying to smoothly differentiate when japanese vs english vs korean is being spoken #mine

#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

Are you planning to study in korea? I wouldn't abandon the idea if i were you, it's so much fun there. Keep working towards it and hoping, the opportunity will arise! ✨️

YEAHHHH it's been the plan for a while lol. honestly the main goal is just to be as far away from home as possible LOL that's why even the colleges I'm considering here in the states are HOURS away from the city i currently live in and i was just like. I'm learning korean anyway i might as wellllll get a more vivid experience

#im only considering ONE uni in ny city but even that is far enough from home #where i can be free of the madness.... #i DID find out abt this one program back in the summer where u can study a language in the country its spoken in. #theres multiple. like. study japanese in japan. italian in italy. etc etc that includes korean in korea... #ANYWAYS you can choose the timeframe ur there nd for 5 weeks it was. $5000+? 😭😭 iirc #nd i told my mom and she was like ohhhh if i had the money i'd send you but we're poor. so it's been just a wish for long time. and also 😭 #she was like ohhh ''youre gonna be so afraid theyre gonna be calling you the weird nigger girl'' like HUH #nd theres another part of the program abt accommodation where u could have host parents or stay in the residence..... #nd my mom was like ''u better not stay with a host family they'll take your id and passport and keep you in their house and i have no way #of getting to you i'll never hear from you again'' like she REALLY tried to dissuade me from wanting to go #nd then she was like ''why dont you just go to a college with an exchange program to get the experience''... #but i KNOW that once i go im not gonna want to leave 😭😭💀💀💀 i dont think she rlly understands that and i refuse to tell her #✉️ #anon

Had the most frustrating nightmare last night

#It was a mix of misinformed animal rights activist. A bunch of show choir kids #And the american legal system. And me:( #I was in a court case that was nebulously abt animal cruelty #And like the opponents were very well spoken #But I had a bunch of show choir kids on my side who would sing entirely unrelated pop songs with no relation to the court case #And like I had to do the whole defense myself #But I only have knowledge of structuring an arguement from ap lang and only have knowledge of the court system from watching attorney woo #Which isnt even the American system. That show is south Korean #Thankfully I woke up

I just got fab and idk how to use it. I sent Chuu a letter (?) instead of responding to a picture or a comment, which seems to be the norm?. I googled fab letter box and can’t find anything.. any general advice for using fab?

Open a message from the girls from their profile pages and send replies there. A message room has been active in the past 24 hrs if there's a pink speech bubble, like this

You have to enter the comment section where the girls talk by pressing "comment" - you'll be able to see the entire message history (but you won't receive the girls' reply notifications if you don't send a minimum of 1 comment to the message room, you need to add a comment to get notifications. If you don't comment, you'll miss a lot of conversations.)

The girls mostly reply publically, but if they reply to you personally, the comment bubble will turn yellow like this

If the girls like your comment, it'll show up like this

You can view a collection of any personal replies/likes you receive by clicking "Comments" in the reply section

As for the letter room, letters cost a little more but there's no character limit. The girls can look at the letterbox and "star" (save) letters they like, but the author will receive no indication that it's been starred, and the girls are unable to reply. It's a nice way to express yourself, but you won't receive any confirmation they've read it, let alone saved it or liked it or anything else.

General fab usage tips, don't spam, don't use a translator (not even papago) if you can't speak Korean, don't try make jokes that might not land, don't be disrespectful, don't demand/guilt for likes or replies, don't ask for confirmations on things like gifts or letters, don't comment on eating habits, don't flirt too hard, and lastly, DON'T FALL FOR FANSERVICE! They just are doing their jobs by fostering the parasocial connection, and are trying to retain an audience to spend money on them.

#the girls like being spoken to like humans #be funny and interesting but don't try too hard #just imagine it's like a 1 on 1 conversation and dont get disheartened when they dont reply #cuz there's like 1000 other ppl trying to catch the girls' attention same time as you #remember that they can click on your profile and see your message history 0__0 your messages don't get lost in the sea that easy #the girls esp yves speak english so it's better to be english than accidentally disrespect them in korean #*sees 당신* *shudders* #the comprehensive fab guide #fab #and yes these r my screenshots 😏 w my personal replies 😏

saw that you changed your name and got curious, can you speak any other languages :0? (and if you don’t mind, what does your new name translates to?)

I do change my blog title every so often! The current name is from a past conversation with ♠️-Anon and translates to "the pain of my heart" in French. I thought it was fitting for the subject of this blog (and my darling).

I remember 🌾-Anon asking about my language abilities ages ago, but my reply was long so I can relay it again here. Besides English being my primary language, I know some French and can understand/speak a little Mandarin and Cantonese (but I am illiterate in both).

#your yandere #aidoneus asks #I do mutter curse words in Korean and the like without intending to but that is only because of the dramas haha #Reminder that 🌾-Anon does not want to be spoken to by other anons for everyone new
