.......hey that was really weird and cool
#was watching my lil german tv like i do#guy was talking VERY fast so i backtracked to read along with the subtitles while pausing#read some#and like. i understood it in german without having to...translate?#idek how to describe that but it was fucking awesome#i read it. and i knew what i meant. and then i went to translate it in my head into english nd realized i didnt need to do that?#and that in fact doing so would slow me down and be a waste of time?#like i get that that's how speaking multiple languages works but ive never had enough mastery of a second language to Experience it#being able to process concepts and sentences without needing to put them in english first#wtf!!! that was so thrilling lol
