A girl of about 6 or 7 was babbling nonsense words at her mom and I thought to myself 'she should be able to form real words and sentences by this age' but then the mom responded in kind and I realized 'oh wait, they're speaking french'.
j'adore le franglish content le code switching c'est tellement fun je sautille from a language to another like a gazelle et toi aussi tant que tu voudras :)
OUAIS baby we are so fucking back. franglais est parfait parce que americans get mad AND it sends evil psychic vibes à l’académie française. The phrase “qu’est-ce qu’y’all doing aujourd’hui” came out of my mouth this evening and i think that might be the pinnacle of human language. i love being annoying
My toxic European trait is thinking I can understand writing in any language if I just focus hard enough

All I can think abt is that one quote that basically just describes that you can’t be your true self in your native language bc there’s too much emotional attachment, but that second languages allow speakers to be truly free with their words
“Some things could only be written in a foreign language; they are not lost in translation, but conceived by it. Foreign verbs of motion could be the only ways of transporting the ashes of familial memory. After all, a foreign language is like art—an alternative reality, a potential world. »
- 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.”
- Love in Translation by Lauren Collins from the New Yorker, August 8 & 15, 2016

There’s something in Italy called Doppiaggese. It basically means “dubing-ese” or “dubbing language”, and it refers to the sort of artificial or not-very-current-sounding language used in Italian dubs of foreign films.
One of the silliest things of Doppiagese that always makes me giggle is when they say figlio di puttana meaning “son of a whore”, which is an expression that was specially created to translate “son of a bitch” of American films (and now that we get more Spanish films and series like La casa de papel, hijo de puta, too). But the thing is that not a single Italian would natively say figlio di puttana with a straight face without thinking they’re in some Pulp Fiction scene. I guess we’d probably say stronzo di merda in the same situation instead, or bastardo.
Part of doppiaggese is also the use of così (“so”) as an intensifier instead of -issimo or molto/tanto + adjective. Non-natives are more likely to say things like *sono così felice (weird, not super grammatical, slightly artificial, sounds like it’s a badly translated episode of The Bold and The Beautiful) instead of sono felicissimo / sono davvero felice / sono tanto felice / sono molto felice.
i love this so much
From talking with friends from different countries I have learnt that we all have different conceptions of time. This questionnaire is just for fun because I'm curious but please consider answering it if you have time. Consider each of the scenarios in your first language then translate your answer to English to the best of your ability.
I’ve been thinking about concepts of time in different languages because its interesting. Please do this if it seems interesting to you. I’ll probably post the results next week if I get enough.

europe is so weird because you have like all of southern europe with like just incredibly good and flavorful culinary traditions and then you have countries like the netherlands where you’re surprised they haven’t figured out a way to boil peat from a bog to serve it on a plate, unseasoned

using languages other than your native language like
reading: i am the avatar, capable of mastering all of the languages
writing: alright, yeah this isn’t so bad
listening: whoa there partner i sure would appreciate if you could you say that at half speed and repeat it a couple of times for me
speaking: let me practice this 3 word sentence 20 times in my head and look up each word in the dictionary and make sure i have all the right forms before i ever say it to another human being
