Can't wait.

i watch videos that make me happy and wear pretty clothes and cut my hair in fun styles and do my makeup and drink strawberry tea and take two showers a day and i look on the bright side because goddamnit if god is trying to break me down, he'll have to try harder.

Okay the quality is awful but as someone who is fluent in Irish (it’s not really called Gaelic here) they must have gotten someone professional to translate this because it’s perfect. My favourite thing is it’s very casual Irish and not the stuff you’d hear on a listening exam. This is how people actually talk in Irish. It doesn’t belong to a specific regional dialect which is interesting to me because most fluent Irish speakers are from smaller places that have their own Irish.

Vampires, witches and Jack-o’-lanterns are a nice idea for a Halloween-themed vocabulary list — but we all know what’s truly daunting, don’t we?

- Svetlana Boym, “Estrangement as a Lifestyle: Shklovsky and Brodsky”

“Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. (…) But, it first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.”

when the world starts to unmute; when you starts hearing or reading things that you didn't understand before, but you understand it now

don't give up, yet

you will soon discover the thrill of understanding the kanji you once learnt with so much fuss because it has too many strokes

you will soon understand the lyrics to your favorite Korean ballad, understand the Vlive, your idol's tweet

you will soon recognize the grammar pattern you once learnt, in a film, a book, or somewhere on the internet

and you know, it's exhilarating
