English - Blog Posts
Why am I even that crazy to keep posting here in English, when I'm polish user? 😂 😂 😂 😭
I think every BTS member (not including RM) should study English a bit more just to communicate better with international fans and understand or reply to the questions when they have an English languaged interview. However, I know it well they have busy schedule...But this is my opinion only... ☺️
Have a good studying, Jungkook 👍🏻
you’re doing so well
Bonus:
Things I noticed as a French student in an English literature degree who had been studying English for now… 13 years?
1. IM ONLY ENROLLED IN THAT DEGREE TO READ MORE FANFIC!!! And it works, actually.
2. Only thinking in English. But it might be because I’m autistic.
3. Picking up random accents because I’m studying them. Have you seen a French person using British slangs because he had been studying them for 4 whole chapters now? Well my partner never did, until I began to call them “Lass” and “Lassie”. Well now you do too.
4. Despite years of speaking, and picking up accent, I STILL SOUND LIKE A RANDOM WHITE FRENCH BOY.
5. Still upset about my accent.
I will make an update in two months. I have to go to the US (no offence to the Americans but I hate your country) to validate my year. Let’s see how everything evolves after a month in Virginia.
Hola- Hi everyone!! Idk what i am doing, i moved to another whole continent, i miss all my pals, animals n family.
I almost did not have time to draw, I got stolen too!! :D
Yeii!!
I miss my own phone, the one i bought myself, but hey, thanks goodness i made some friends here, one let me an old phone.
Over everything, i did could Focus all the time in the "perfect", so, yeah, i kinda dislike how i draw, i wanted to learn to do It better but i got no more time.
I have to start today, no more letting It for tomorrow cuz i am scared.
In short, i know i should publish more stuff before saying this but, heck why not? I already Lost the only real thing i carried w/ me here.
Soooo if you did read all this...
I am open to do comissions. :)
~~~~~
BUENO! Me da flojera escribir todo de nuevo, en resumen...
Fui muy cobarde para publicar antes, lo sigo siendo, pero la vida me dió motivación ( me mudé a otro continente de distancia dejando todo y lo único que me traje de significado sentimental para mí, me lo robaron acá, mi tlf, súper cool, no?)
En fin, con tal motivación he superado ( en realidad no) el miedo a publicar cosas.
Si alguien tiene preguntas, me encantaría responder sin problemas ^^
¡¡También abro para comisiones!!
~~~~~
Eh... Ho domenticato come scrivere in italiano... :/
Ma voglio ricordare e migliorare!
Sono successe molte cose, mi piace parlare molto, sto cercando di non scrivere troppo/molto, mi sono trasferita lontano dal mio paese e sono successe cose belle e altre non ... belle. Sto aprendo COMMISSIONI con la scusa di praticare (mi hanno rubato il telefono, una delle migliori motivazioni se me lo chiedi).
Se avete domande, mi piacerebbe rispondere!!
Why does English look weirder the more I look at it?
I saw this on my professor’s door and I can’t even deal with the accuracy.
🇺🇸: Oh hi hello my dears, I introduce myself as Gabriela although I like to be called Gaby (probably you will call me whatever you want but idgaf) ignore my half-assed english-totally-not-grom-a-translator because that is literally what it is (VIVA CUBA LIBRE). Anyway, during the schizophrenia attacks I get at 3 a.m., I came up with a lore more SICK than your math test.
Of course this lore has a considerable amount (too many) of characters along with a story with so many branches that you don't even realize you missed it.
Obviously in every story there is a protagonist and in mine it can't be missing. This is all roughly based on 2019 because it was a great year before everything went FOR THE REVEREND PINGA.

🇨🇺: Oh hi hello my dears, me presento como Gabriela aunque me gustaría que me llamaran Gaby (seguramente me llamarán como les salga del orto pero me vale culo). Durante mis ataques esquizo de las 3 de la mañana, se me ocurrió crear un lore más complicado que las matemáticas.
Por supuesto, este lore tiene una cantidad considerable (DEMASIADOS) personajes, junto con tantas ramas que ni te darás cuenta que te perdiste. Obviamente en toda historia hay una protagonista y en la mía no podía faltar. Esto está basado hasta el 2019 porque es fue un gran año antes de que todo se fuera A LA REVERENDA PINGA.
Pues bueno, me despido motherfuckers :3
Would you still love me if I were a worm but for a dog
Would you still love me if I were a worm,
Which is to say, would you still love me if I couldn’t take you on walks Which is to say, would you still love me if I couldn’t feed you Which is to say, would you still love me if I didn’t play with you Which is to say, would you still love me if I didn’t kiss your head and pet your fur Which is to say, would you still love me if I didn’t serve you?
If I could provide you nothing, would you still come to me tail wagging Place your head in my lap, lick at my lotioned legs, Whine when I ignore you, chase me when I run from you?
Or would you find someone new, someone who could give you all those things And more. Would it even hurt for you to leave me, or would I be an afterthought? I’d like to think you’d never leave my side, no matter what Man’s best friend and all.
We’ve been together for so long, not us two but humans and canines. When we leave for the stars will you come with us? I’d take you with, I’d take you anywhere I went.
You were made to serve us, but it is us that serve you To a dog, man is God And who would worship a God if they could give no boons, answer no prayers, quell no storms, bless no harvests Which is to say, I don’t deserve your worship
Someone once said that humans are a dog’s whole life while they’re only a chapter to us. What a terribly sad thing to say. You deserve a whole novel
You give me so much and I give nothing in return I weep into your fur and you wait patiently, I injure myself and you try lick the wound to help I lag behind you as you run and you slow and look back waiting for me, I step on your tail and you cry but immediately forgive me, I hold you as you tremble from the thunder that I can do nothing about
I know this is a Dog eat dog world, so I would not feel betrayed If you stopped loving me So I ask again, would you still love me if I were a worm?
Wassup I’m back I’m so tired I’m failing English class somehow I should stop playing cry during English or get on one tv I need help :3
My current biggest flex is that I know how to use a semicolon.
Oh there's an English word for it too. Enucleation, I'm pretty sure. Normally used in a medical/clinical context. I haven't seen the movie, so don't know if that would or not, but yeah.
Re-watching "the Guest" with French subtitles atm to get back into the language, and came across s'éborgner.
Do the French really have a verb for the action of taking out an eye???
Rebloging for personal reasons
It’s essay writing season for tons of students!
After being a college writing tutor for over a year, I thought I would share my advice with all you awesome people on tumblr. This is how I write essays, but if you’ve got more tips, feel free to add them below.
Happy writing. You can do it!
you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
I’m starting to think that the annoying English teacher was right when they say everything a writer chooses to use has a meaning. Like, it might not be a big meaning, but I have not written a single sentence yet that was not intended to have some kind of effect. Some of them stand alone, some of them contribute to a whole thing, like structural motifs, but…
I don’t know, everything has meaning, I guess.
Effect vs. Affect
I just came up with a fun way to remember when to use effect or affect.
Think about: Affect-ion
You give affection and are thus effected positively.
Affect is the intrusion or the causation and effect is the solution.
The rain affects the garden by watering it. The garden is effected by the rain.
Affect refers to an action that will/is/has interrupted the previous norm. Effect refers to the act of being influenced by something else
Affect is given onto something
Effect is received from something
Parte 2:Razones por las que a los japoneses jamás se le va a dar bien el inglés: Sean bienvenidos, japonistasarqueológicos, a una nueva entrega, en esta ocasión hablamos del inglés en Japón, una vez dicho esto pónganse cómodos qué empezamos. - Por la que a los japoneses les cuesta el inglés más de una te sorprenderá, los japoneses para poder aprender inglés desde cero les lleva alrededor de 500 horas alcanzar el nivel principiante; sin embargo, se necesitan unas 250 horas para aprender coreano o indonesio al mismo nivel principiante. Una de las razones por las que los japoneses no son buenos en inglés es debido a la pronunciación, esto es un hecho. - La estructura gramatical del inglés es: SVO (sujeto-verbo-objeto) donde el verbo va primero, mientras que en japonés, SOV (Sujeto-Objeto-Verbo) donde el verbo va al final. Además, la estructura de las oraciones difiere entre el inglés y el japonés, el inglés es muy estricto en cuanto al orden de las palabras. En japonés utilizamos unas 120 palabras en un minuto de conversación normal. El inglés emplea aproximadamente 1,5 veces más palabras, razón por la cual los japoneses sienten que hablan inglés más rápido. Por ejemplo, la palabra japonesa “personalidad” tiene tres fonemas. Cuando se trata de inglés, necesitamos cinco fonemas: pa/so/na/li/ti, y para transmitir la misma información, necesitamos hablar más rápido. La razón por la que a los japoneses les resulta difícil escuchar y hablar inglés es probablemente porque se les exige que usen habilidades que normalmente no emplean. パート2：日本人が決して英語が得意にならない理由：日本の考古学者たちよ、新しい回へようこそ！今回は日本の英語について話す。 - なぜ日本人は英語が苦手なのか？日本人がゼロから英語を学んで初級レベルに達するには約500時間かかるが、韓国語やインドネシア語を学んで同じ初級レベルに達するには約250時間かかる。日本人が英語を苦手とする理由のひとつに発音があるが、これは事実である。 - 英語の文法構造はSVO（Subject-Verb-Object）で動詞が先に来るのに対し、日本語はSOV（Subject-Object-Verb）で動詞が最後に来る。また、文の構造も英語と日本語では異なり、英語は語順に非常に厳しい。日本語の場合、通常の会話で1分間に使う単語は約120語。英語はその約1.5倍の単語を使うので、日本人は英語を話すのが早いと感じるのです。例えば、日本語の「パーソナリティ」という単語には3つの音素がある。それが英語になると、パ／ソ／ナ／リ／ティの5つの音素が必要になり、同じ情報を伝えるためには、より速く話す必要がある。日本人が英語を聞くのも話すのも難しいと感じるのは、普段使わない能力を要求されるからだろう。 - 今後の記事でお会いできることを楽しみにしています。 Part 2: Reasons why the Japanese will never be good at English: Welcome, Japanese archaeologists, to a new instalment, this time we are talking about English in Japan, so make yourselves comfortable and let's get started. - Why the Japanese have a hard time with English more than one will surprise you, it takes the Japanese around 500 hours to learn English from scratch to reach beginner level; however, it takes around 250 hours to learn Korean or Indonesian to the same beginner level. One of the reasons why Japanese people are not good at English is because of pronunciation, this is a fact. - The grammatical structure of English is: SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) where the verb comes first, while in Japanese, SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) where the verb comes last. Also, sentence structure differs between English and Japanese, English is very strict about word order. In Japanese we use about 120 words in one minute of normal conversation. English uses about 1.5 times as many words, which is why Japanese people feel they speak English faster. For example, the Japanese word "personality" has three phonemes. When it comes to English, we need five phonemes: pa/so/na/li/ti, and to convey the same information, we need to speak faster. The reason why Japanese people find it difficult to listen to and speak English is probably because they are required to use skills they do not normally use. - I hope you like it and see you in future posts, have a good week.
Parte 1: Sean bienvenidos, japonistasarqueológicos, a una nueva entrega, en esta ocasión hablamos del inglés en Japón, una vez dicho esto pónganse cómodos qué empezamos. - ¿Por qué en Japón el inglés es un idioma, no es muy hablado por los japoneses? En Japón el 2% de los Japoneses hablan japonés de 125.507.000 personas, lo cual toparse con japoneses que hablen inglés es una tarea difícil, el Español, es un idioma más popular en Japón, además a los japoneses les encanta la cultura Española. - A pesar de que hablar con japonés en inglés es difícil principalmente porque les cuesta entender la pronunciación, por esa razón el katakana haya palabras en inglés pronunciadas malamente. - Espero que os guste y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones, que pasen una buena semana.
第1回 日本の考古学者の皆さん、新しい回へようこそ。今回は日本における英語についてです。 - なぜ日本では、英語は日本人にあまり話されていない言語なのでしょうか？ 日本では、1億2,550万7,000人の人口のうち、日本語を話す日本人は2％で、英語を話す日本人に会うのは難しい。 - 日本人と英語で話すのは難しいが、それは日本人が発音を理解するのが難しいからである。
- 今後の記事でお会いできることを楽しみにしています。
Welcome, Japanesearchaeologicalists, to a new installment, this time we are talking about English in Japan, having said that, get comfortable and let's start.
-
Why is English a language in Japan, not widely spoken by the Japanese? In Japan, 2% of the Japanese speak Japanese out of 125,507,000 people, which means that finding Japanese people who speak English is a difficult task. Spanish is a more popular language in Japan, and Japanese people love Spanish culture.
-
Although speaking with Japanese in English is difficult mainly because it is difficult for them to understand the pronunciation, for that reason the katakana there are English words pronounced poorly. -
I hope you like it and see you in future posts, have a good week.
Quiz for people learning/have learned a second language. For fun please leave in the tags what language!
Big respect to the people who learned English as either a 1st or 2nd language.
I just got my diploma. I officially have a Bachelor's degree and can become an English teacher. I also received a diploma which says I'm a German teacher as well. University is done, and now off to the world of employment. 😁
Только что получила диплом. Теперь у меня официально степень бакалавра, и я могу стать учителем английского языка. Я также получила, согласно которому я ещё и являюсь учителем немецкого. С универом покончено и теперь пора в мир трудоустройства. 😁
A question for bilingual writer: Do you feel differences between when you write in your native language and when you write in english?
Because when i write in Italian I feel like I suck at writing, but when i use english what i'm writing seems a well-written masterpiece.

Cubitum eamus?
I was surrounded by green landscapes. The leaves' and trees' color matched with my flowy skirt. My mustardish skirt danced with the breeze, a graceful waltz under the blinding light of my usual guest. This guest has always been there with me. Specifically every Sunday. And peculiarly its light gets stronger and brighter everytime that I appear in its presence. It's really strange. Perhaps, Zeus is content when seeing me, and his only way to contact me is by increasing the brightness of his Sun. Nonetheless, I'm thankful of it.
I could feel the warm breeze timidly touching my bare arms and uncovered shoulders. It was such a hair-raising feeling that it bizarrely made me slowly close my eyes while enjoying that docile embrace.
The crunch of grass under boots made my eyes slam open. That crunch of boots on dew-kissed ground resonates - a rythmic dance between man and nature. Each step, a whispered promise of connection, as if the meadow itself aknowledged his presence.
I turned around. There stopped a gigantic man. He was so majestic that I nearly stopped breathing. There was no oxygen enough for me. The nature was taking it from me.
Despite this, I continued looking at him. I didn't dare to say a thing. No voice could get out of my mouth.
I was so mesmerized by him that I didn't notice he was getting closer and closer to me. I was laying on top of the meadow. Undoubtedly, I was looking like a sloppy little girl and unashamedly I was staying there unmoving.
Surprisingly, he stretched his arm to me. Oh God. What did I think that he was going to do? That, I better not share with you.
"Aventurine. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you..."
I shockingly raised my head. How did he know my name? That I didn't know, nevertheless, I didn't really care. My name softly coming out his fleshy lips ignited a burning heat inside my heart and tiny body. I obviously zoned out and I didn't bother listening to what he was saying.
Learning a language and slang at the same time is crazy bc i‘ll use a phrase and be like „is this a slang term and acceptable in casual conversation, a rare but correct phrase, or absolute bullshit that makes me look like an idiot“
