I love, absolutely love, seeing how people pronounce things and getting my friends to pronounce certain words just to see how they say them. The other night at a cinema I had a chat with a guy and the bartender about it and we all did little pronunciation runs, it was so fun!! language can be such a terrible dominion of social domination, and I feel like celebrating how other people pronounce things can be a great way to help combat that.

I love hearing people speak other languages that i can’t understand it feels so distopic and sureal that whats coming out of their mouth makes sense to someone else. Oh and other alphabets go crazy too, like you are telling me that that bunch of lines have a meaning that i dont know? ughh so cool.

So fun. You feel devious all over again. Plus the locals love it when you throw in a cheeky something for fun.

Been playing duels after finally caving and purchasing a subscription which I've been very reluctant to do cause I was playing it when it was totally free.
But it's even more fun to play without learning intricate road marking or sign details, just going from flags, language interpretation and geography knowledge is soooo validating. Even more brilliant when you get somewhere you've actually been or know where it is before.
Has kind of triggered a previously unrealised interest in sociolinguistics in me cause I've always loved languages and I can tell a lot of them apart I feel like but I also cannot speak any fluently except from English. But I want to change that and also learn more sociolinguistic history etc.
Anyway im currently on a ~90% win rate but in a lower division cause I'm just starting out but its fun as hell and I'm already learning much more stuff (i.e. the street signs in Warsaw also have the same format in Łódz! Who knew? I didn't !)

Sometimes, if my cat really wants my attention, he‘ll grab my leg loosely and bite me, where it hurts for a bit but leaves no mark nor blood. It’s not quite fun- but I think it serves a meaningful place in life
