heterogenia linguistico is so interesting...

#before i knew it i caught up X_X #being about language tho it feels like its especially important to get the translations accurate akndjccjdnd #if i could find physical copies id get them immediately esp since its like at 4 volumes still #but its also reminding me how little i remember of my linguistics degree AKAMNDNDNDNCMF #and our field methods unit.... #which was super interesting but really impresses upon u the difficulty of learning (observing?) a language from the bottom up #also my socially anxious ass was not fond of the idea of field research erhsbscbd #which i understood to be necessary in pursuing a masters? so i didnt want to LOL #im looking at it now and that may not be true.... or it depends on the actual degree #in any case anything linguistics related will involve talking to people lmao so even tho based on my knowledge #it would make sense to pursue further linguistics...... i dont think i would actually be good at it career wise in any form #ok hang on ive just taken a look at an applied linguistics degree. there IS a capstone project #which would involve field work but maybe not to the extent i was imagining #in any case im not actually confident i remember enough from my undergrad 😭😭😭😭😭 #holy shit i finished it like. 6 years ago......
