New idea for a language course
  • I learned French in France. French rudeness is overstated. In Paris, in high-stress situations, yeah, they don't have time to listen to you stumble through a communication that could be completed in a fraction of the time with greater accuracy in English. But outside of Paris, or in more working class neighborhoods, in mom-and-pop shops, you can get all the practice you need. Stay away from Franprix, and go to the corner bodega, and you can strike up a friendly convo.

    I also found that French people express appreciation by correcting you. They assume if you're putting in the effort to learn, you want to know when you make a mistake, and how you should improve. Constant correction can be mildly discouraging to me, but once I learned to take it in the spirit it was delivered, my emotions stopped hindering my communications.

  • What's the first movie you added to your movie watch list, but haven't gotten around to watch it yet?
  • Eurydice BA 2037 by Nikos Nikolaidis is the first film I added to my letterboxd watchlist. And I have not seen it yet. But it set the tone for my watchlist, which is solely a list of films that look interesting to me, that I will definitely forget the titles if I don't put them somewhere. Anything I've heard of before, I leave off the list.

  • What languages do you speak?
  • Only truly fluent in English.

    Tetapi aku bisa bicara bahasa Indonesia. Ada komunitas bahasa indonesia dalam lemmy? Aku tidak bisa cari apa-apa.

    J'ai etudié francais a l'université, mais maintenant j'ai oublié beaucoup.

    I speak a little Chinese, but am fully illiterate in it.

    انا بتهكي عربي شواي
