From defending Cola of being called &#8220;toxic&#8221; by Dander (all because Cola was talking about &#8216;salted nuts&#8217;), to being at my wits end dealing with Fluffy whining about another heartbreak (this time with one of my other friends).<br \/>\nBut today I want to talk about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">another<\/span> topic; Red Fox. I love him so, but I feel there&#8217;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 <em>I<\/em> don&#8217;t know every single word in our<br \/>\nlanguage.. aka the big words).<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nThey speak Russian, and I feel to love Red, I have to get to know his friends more (by speaking and understanding <em>their<\/em> native language). Yet I keep being told &#8220;Russian is one of the hardest languages to learn&#8221; (even by Russians who are able to speak English).<br \/>\nSo, what do I DO?! I got to find SOME way to understand them (so I can enjoy myself with Red)! Too bad there isn&#8217;t a device I could attach to my ear, that will auto-translate in real time from any language to English what is said.<br \/>\nCould 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&#8217;t a free trial) is very hard. Who would&#8217;ve thought you actually had to PAY for convince to be with your lover&#8217;s<br \/>\nfriends, huh? I guess you could say &#8220;If you truly love him, you&#8217;ll do it.&#8221; &#8230;Meh.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<em>*sigh*<\/em> &#8230;All I can do (without it costing me anything), is for Red to fully understand I can&#8217;t always be there as much as I want (when he&#8217;s with his Russian friends). I really want<br \/>\nto, but I feel so out of place when I can&#8217;t speak their language.<br \/>\nPlus, how in the fuck do you switch your brain to speak (let alone understand) a new language!? &#8230;Many, <strong>many<\/strong> years of practice, I guess. \ud83d\ude15 Much like learning Blender! HA!!<br \/>\nI 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 &#8220;message, message!&#8221; when he doesn&#8217;t understand me.<br \/>\nNow one language I would <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>love<\/em><\/span> to learn, is Draconian (the dragon language). You<br \/>\nknow, for personal reasons. Be in Kovo&#8217;s world and insult him in Draconian, and he&#8217;ll be all &#8220;Uhhhhhhhhhh&#8230; (Kovo.exe has stopped responding and needs to close)&#8221; \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I knew yesterday was going to be busy for me, and it was so much that.
