Language asks! :D 1. What is a sound that you can't make? 3. Whatās your favorite script / writing system? 10. What's your opinion on learning dead languages? 13. What's a part of your personality that doesn't translate when you speak another language? 14. Which language sounds the most romantic to you? (since French is usually associated with romance lol ~/o/)
Hey thanks! (questions here)
1. I long struggled with theĀ āthā in English. While I donāt think I quite got it I can at least avoid replacing it withĀ āzā orĀ āsā like most Frenchies. Now the sound I canāt make, tho I wish I could, is the Arabic hard H, like inĀ āHarramā. I always confuse it withĀ ākhā even if I can hear itās not the same thing.
3. I often use Trebuchet MS, which I find easy to read and elegant enough for my lessons. I used to use the old Dauphin script all the time as a kid and Iām still fond of it.
10. Amica, linguam latinam in ludo discebam ! I learnt Latin in school, my friend. And forgot most of it⦠Didnāt take Greek tho I would have liked it. Letās say I thoroughly agree with it. First as an historian, second because the way itās taught helped me to better understand my own language (tho itās French, it probably wonāt work with Tagalog). So letās learn Latin, old Greek, Sanskrit⦠and letās support indigenous people who want to reclaim their heritage trampled upon by imperialism !
13. Tricky question, as Iāve yet to be in an environment where I have to speak English in a daily basis. Iām often found of mixing casual language with pedantic references and erudite words, Iām not sure if Iām able to do that in English yet.
14.Ā āsince French is usually associated with romanceā LOL INDEED! Whenever I hear that I want to sing all the bawdy French songs I know in the most sultry voice possible ;) Letās say that Italian rings nice to my hears, so does Arabic in a way (āHabibiiii~ā ^-^)
Thank you again for your questions!
