TET: And Another Month Bites The Dust

[Valentine Z]

Math is great.

"Solve the following equations by any means necessary."

Stab someone till they give you the answer.

"Tell me what 2+5 is!"

"No."

*Stabs 7 times*

Imagine that, but with bigger numbers.

Math is one of my worst subjects. Math and science. But those little mistakes in wording always make it enjoyable.

And good "morning" to you!

Ahh, I see! Math and Physics are my drugs, and on the other hand, I could never get into Humanities... just too much memory work - just give me freedom to research facts during the exam, and I can write an essay without saying, "I can't remember which year Hungary's economics tanked!"

Weather is a tad gloomy, but hey, I welcome the coolness that it brought along with it!

What is the factorial of 15?

Anything that isn't numbers is amazing. History and English and German especially.

Do you want to share the cold? Please?

*stabs 1307674368000 times*

Also interesting is how for mathematics we are usually stuck to numbers below trillions. For once I would love to see numbers like 1.36 x 10¹²⁶⁸ as the actual answer with the help of logs.

I'm learning Dutch again on Duolingo. Gotta know the basics lest I get shredded or dumbstruck in the Nederlands thread.

Well, I would, but the internet is not chill enough.

Ah, Duolingo. I'm trying to learn Spanish on there, but it's hard when everyone around me speaks a different Spanish. Dutch is fairly easy, though.

Someday it will be possible.

I tried Spanish, because it's like that language for most music. The very experience of hearing them speak is havoc; so fast, and yet so elegant.

I'm curious to ask: Since you are German, can you understand Dutch? I read that there're quite a lot of similarities between the two.

[Kannap]

Apparently I worked 12 hours overtime last pay period and my boss was not as impressed as I was.

Spanish is a beautiful language, really.

It's like German and English together, so if I have enough time to think then I do understand Dutch. I can't speak it myself, though.

Ooh, I see! Romance Languages have that trait - French, Italian, Spanish... it just flows elegantly.

Ahh, that's pretty interesting. The native Dutch usually talks about how awful the pronounciations are, but I just find it cool for me.

Every language is amazing, honestly. With the exception of Japanese. But other than that, every language.

Ooh, may I ask why? For me, it's quite hard because of the different writing systems. Also, the polite culture, while I like it and give praise, means that you will get looks for speaking something a bit too "off".

[Ameriganastan]

Some Twitter jerk stole liveblog posts in the AGT Tumblr tag tonight...and she didn't steal any of mine. I'm apparently not witty enough to be plagiarized.

Mainly because it sounds completely different from anything else I'm used to, but also because anything can mean different things and such. It's complicated to learn, especially for me, since I'm only learning from listening to people speak Japanese with me.

Not to mention the writing is completely different.

Does that mean you didn't get the OT pay? Because they can't do that...

Ahh, I see! I feel like I should learn it to understand some cartoons and shows (i.e. Anime), but it will take months to understand, let alone to master. :/

Social Network Law states that anything on the internet will go to Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, with severe degradation of quality (for photos and videos) and with captions "WHO MADE DIS? *Emoji Abuse*"

If you have the time and emotional strength, learn Japanese. That is the law of languages.

[Kannap]

Does that mean you didn't get the OT pay? Because they can't do that...

No, I'll get the overtime pay, the law requires that. My boss did manage to assure me I know I can't let it happen again.

Wowzers, that's being pretty ungrateful, I feel.

"Oh hey, thanks for telling me I shouldn't OT again, even if I was helping you."

Heh, gotcha! Dad speaks and writes well because he worked in Japan for 5 years back in the early 2000s. Still pretty hard for me. Duolingo has it, but I imagine that you will need a native Japanese or someone fluent to help out with an Asian language.

Duolingo for the basics, and then you can listen to music or watch movies or something in whatever language you're learning. It usually works.

Can relate to that. Has been using German/Dutch for a few years on my computer/tablet/phone.

Might not know grammar or the basics that well, but I now know what Bureaublad (Desktop) and Snelheid (Speed) are.

Yo hablo un poco español.

Nope.

Can’t do it.

You know, the important stuff. Just like K-pop has all the important words too.

I can't greet in Korean, but I know how to sing that killer soundtrack.

Honestly, English Rs and Spanish Rs are annoying. Can't all Rs be German Rs?

I can't roll my Rs...

Rrrrr-rrr- then I splutter.

I've just given up by now. Same as with the word squirrel.

But practise makes perfect. You can do it.
