@Kitalpha Hart:
Oh wonder why that is. o:
I hope the rest remains mostly the same or they at least have a way to communicate/figure out the different ones.
At the same time it's quite interesting too how they end up developing different signs.

Suddenly reminded of this video about the community in VR chat i saw a while ago.
They had rooms/worlds dedicated to ASL to help people out and i think they even made some new signs to easily communicate some things in game!

@Hachi: I see, i see
And can imagine that over exposure to one language might take it's toll on another.
Still think it's cool you're trying to get better at it though, is she one of the people you regularly practice with? o:

Oh that might've been what i was thinking of yep
is there a rule of using simplified vs traditional or is it all about personal preferences?

And they are, like how some languages have exceptions and with others it's like
the whole language is an exception like please, don't do this to us :'D

Oh that sounds cool, really convenient too
Is the roman way of writing the words a legit thing as well or is it more like idk, a stepping stone of sorts?
(hope you don't mind me asking these questions, i'm a curious person)

And i live very close to the border of both Germany and Belgium
Not the french part of belgium but you know, most of them can at the very least speak it so i guess that's why they chose that over other languages :')


And aw, well at least it's fun when you can, even if just partially, tell what they're talking about in songs or in tv shows that have spanish in it.
Yes, rip @ the upkeep ;-; Agree with you one that one.


Yes i just realized i missed a few days, am scared to check my mail now
Careful, it feeds on our fear :')
Posted in sleep check !!! Posted 5 years ago
Complicated, my sleep routine is eh, messed up
It's hard for me to go to bed before 2/3 o clock oops.
I fall asleep fairly easy and when i don't im usually not bothered my it cause i'll just day dream till i do fall asleep. :')
Sometimes listening to sounds/soft music/asmr helps if im having trouble.

Used to be great at remembering dreams but since im not getting the sleep i probably should get not as much
But they're usually just very weird. (a while a go i dreamed i was in a supermarket, looked down and somehow lost my shoes in said supermarket)

It's very hard for me to get nightmares, since i either wake myself up, pause the dream, reload/go back to a part where it wasn't unpleasant or just ' quit' the dream lol. Only downside is when it fails i end up with sleep paralysis but i taught myself how to deal with that as well.
So at this point it's mostly just a lil bit inconvenient and dreams are a bit stressful at most. :')
Actual nightmares are very rare. (let's hope i did not jinx that just now. :p )


@vitreus: Maybe this is an odd question but do you guys sometimes have, like, separate or shared dreams?
I'm rather curious about how dreams work for you guys, if you don't mind me asking of course. (:

@Kitalpha Hart:

That's neat! Would you say it's difficult to learn?
Seems like learning ASL differs a lot from learning spoken languages o:

Had no idea they used some of the same characters actually.
In my mind , between japanese and chinese, japanese looks more playful/round-ish to me while chinese characters look '' sharper ''
Not quite sure how to describe it.
But can imagine if some of the characters/symbols are the same (and you're aware of this) it becomes quite hard to tell apart. o:

@pachi:
Ah i see!
Any idea if there's any big differences between Canadian and European French? o:

And admittedly that's why Japanese is on my ''wish list'' as well
Being able to watch stuff without subtitles sounds like the dream

That sounds really cool.
Dialects are amazing. Sometimes i wonder how they're not their own languages since some of them differ so much the original language.
(we have quite a bit of dialects over here, oops. But also, for some reason, the people up in the north (the Frisians) have their own language, to this day im still clueless as to why that is an official language haha)
You ever planning on learning how to speak the dialect as well? o:

Oh how has that been going for you?
Any sources in particular you're making use of? o:

@Hachi:
Oh Cantonese is something i don't hear a lot about!
Actually had to look it up, had no idea the two languages where related in a way o:

And that's a cool reason, it might just double as extra motivation as well to try and become more knowledgeable about the language c:
Also learning languages is probably easier when you have people to practice with.

Where you raised bilingual? (if you don't mind me asking)

And the characters do seem a little intimidating
if my mind serves me right, weren't there multiple ways of writing the same character or am i confusing things with Japanese here?
This is also the first time i've heard about a pinyin keyboard, still not quite sure what it is/does
Is it like converting words/letters to characters automatically or? o:

Ah, i feel, they made us learn french and german at school, i too remember very little of it haha. :')
Wish they would've offered Spanish though, rip.


Also that's amazing lmao :vanora_xd:


And that is true, duolingo is mostly memory based but i feel like it's one of the few (free) sources that include quite a bit of content
so far the duolingo owl and i are still on good terms lol.
