Story of loveliness for you all because you've been so well behaved recently.I dated an Italian guy for about 3 months six years ago, and my mum decided it was time to start learning Italian.The relationship didn't last but my mum never stopped learning Italian by herself in retirement. She's never had a teacher or been to a class; she's taught herself from apps and lots of books I've thrown at her. She speaks Italian with the strongest English accent you've ever heard. There's no doubt to anyone that she is not a native speaker.So last week she went to Turin for a couple of days, and she came back *buzzing*. She's been to Italy before and spoken Italian but this time was different. She was having conversations in Italian with everyone about everything. Basic conversations but she was doing it and loving it. In one restaurant the waiter couldn't possibly believe that she was an English person speaking this language. English?! English people only speak English! What the actual?! He was so overjoyed at her efforts that he kept bringing her all sorts of free food and limoncello until she asked him to stop.When I spoke to her a couple of days ago she said it's so weird that you sit at home and learn this language but it doesn't mean anything. It's all nonsense. But then you go to a different country and say the nonsense words and people actually understand you!I've always loved learning languages and this just warmed my cold, dead heart a wee bit.#LanguageLearning #Italian #languages

@blogdiva ah yeah it never occurred to me that it would be pronounced /aʃolotɬ/ but it makes sense.

I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.I run out of options and resources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already. so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.Anyone interested?#translation #job #jobsearch #fedihire
