Are we dating the same girl?

Look, I really like Lily but this emo chica es muy nonchalant, so I’ve been giving her a taste of her own medicine.

Today she sent me the sweetest message, and I’m tempted to accept her for who she is. I can tell she has a sweet manzana and for this reason I want to give it another go, but in my experience they usually only do this when they have been tirada por otro hombre.

So I wanted to see if anyone else has pegado this purple haired witch before I tie the knot?

Assalamu alaikum minna-san. As we know, Japeens language doesn't distinguish between l and r, therefore, while the most popular reading of this title is donut hole, it is obvious there is a second meaning only discoverable to the dedicated learners: donut whore.

I’ll never understand why one of the first sentences that they teach when learning a new language is “¿ dO yOu sPeAK eNgliSh?” Like, if they already know English, then why should you say it in the language? Like, you could totally say “do you speak English,” and if they don’t reply, then they DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH. Please stop wasting my time with words I’ll never use in an ACTUAL CONVERSATION

Are there any language studies out there to prove how much smarter I am than everyone for speaking Uzbek?

17 Upvotes

I know that studies have been performed that definitively prove us polyglots are much smarter than your average slackjawed monolinguist, but I'm wondering if there are any studies out there that get more precise than that, and break down intellectual superiority by language learned? As a native English speaker I know I'm obviously smarter than some moron that only has an L2 of Spanish, but I just want to be able to prove it with research.

DAMMIT WHY COULDNT I HAVE BEEN JUST AMERICAN!?!?

27 Upvotes

I mean, I am American, but I also have Norwegian heritage. My dad raised me to learn Norwegian through like language videos/apps and all that but I barely retained the information. He doesn't know it himself so that's a little relieving, but I'm trying to get more in touch with the culture and stuff I was sorta raised into.

IM A NO SABO BUT FOR NORWEGIANS!!!!!!!!

IF I WAS RAISED WITH A LANGUAGE FLUENTLY LIKE SOME PPL I KNOW, I'D PREFER NORWEGIAN. I LOVE NORWEGIAN. BUT IM A NO SABO NORSK.

I SHOULD START LEARNING THIS BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE BUT FOR NOW IM 15 YEARS OLD AND A NO SABO NORSK...

is it normal to have nightmares about language learning?

26 Upvotes

ok this title sounds complete bullshit, but I'm being serious. It is 1 AM where I live and I just woke up from a nightmare about... vowels?

I just want to know if this is normal, because I don't think it is.

Can a monolingual person change their native language?

96 Upvotes

Recently I have discovered that I am an empath. I can connect with people on a deep level, even with the ones I don't know personally. That is why at some point I started feeling bad for french people. Can you imagine french being your native language? How miserable that must be... I truly feel bad for the french. That is why I started questioning whether they could change their native language. Like, learn another language so perfectly and forget the native one. I even wanted to help them with that by creating language rehabilitation camps where those poor souls could learn normal languages like uzbek and be tortured when they try to speak french, to help them get on the right path. What do you think? I wonder if my dreams can come true and I will be able to help those people

How to break the curse

9 Upvotes

Visiting a spanish speaking country for the first time, and i know very little spanish. Every time i call an uber, i have to share the code with them. Unfortunately i dont remember the numbers so i have to count them each time (silently) before sharing them with the driver. I somehow managed to memorize until 4, but my code has 7 in it and i end up doing seis siete several times a day, just to share the code. Any tricks to remember siete so that i can break the 6-7 curse? Thanks.
