I knew yesterday was going to be busy for me, and it was so much that. From defending Cola of being called “toxic” by Dander (all because Cola was talking about ‘salted nuts’), to being at my wits end dealing with Fluffy whining about another heartbreak (this time with one of my other friends).
But today I want to talk about another topic; Red Fox. I love him so, but I feel there’s a serious language barrier I have to overcome. He likes to hang with friends who speak a language that is unknown to me (having only learned our native language (American English) when I was in school, and even I don’t know every single word in our
language.. aka the big words).
–
They speak Russian, and I feel to love Red, I have to get to know his friends more (by speaking and understanding their native language). Yet I keep being told “Russian is one of the hardest languages to learn” (even by Russians who are able to speak English).
So, what do I DO?! I got to find SOME way to understand them (so I can enjoy myself with Red)! Too bad there isn’t a device I could attach to my ear, that will auto-translate in real time from any language to English what is said.
Could always find some very crude way to literally strap my iPhone to my ear (after finding some kind of real time translator). But finding one (that isn’t a free trial) is very hard. Who would’ve thought you actually had to PAY for convince to be with your lover’s
friends, huh? I guess you could say “If you truly love him, you’ll do it.” …Meh.
.
*sigh* …All I can do (without it costing me anything), is for Red to fully understand I can’t always be there as much as I want (when he’s with his Russian friends). I really want
to, but I feel so out of place when I can’t speak their language.
Plus, how in the fuck do you switch your brain to speak (let alone understand) a new language!? …Many, many years of practice, I guess. 😕 Much like learning Blender! HA!!
I mean, look how long it took me to learn English (to where it feels completely natural)? Not many can even understand me. A friend of Red (who he met IRL), I have to often talk to him in Discord for him to understand me. He usually says “message, message!” when he doesn’t understand me.
Now one language I would love to learn, is Draconian (the dragon language). You
know, for personal reasons. Be in Kovo’s world and insult him in Draconian, and he’ll be all “Uhhhhhhhhhh… (Kovo.exe has stopped responding and needs to close)” 😂😂
