オフィスガールの憂鬱.。 studytwt, langtwt and booktwt used to be my home. I am trying to read and study more and love how i get motivated by kindred spirits. I am studying English, Japanese and Russian on my own. I appreciate any support. Please correct me. ♡

Is there a difference between writing in not your first language and translating yourself? Probably, right? Are different cognitive processes involved in the two approaches? Presumably there are ocean-deep discourses on both.

"How dull.
How slowly this bus crawled along.
How slowly he, Skima, inched toward his destination. How leisurely the secret pulsed.
Suddenly, the thought struck him—perhaps it wouldn't be bad to draw an exciting book from his backpack."

Honestly. Everyone who's deciding to pick up a pen or brush to learn art in spite of everything these days: You make my heart feel so warm.

For me personally, it really is that good. But I can very well imagine that it is not the right thing for every person. It definitely contains passages that are difficult to endure. Maybe one should know that in advance.

Just talked to a friend about the ups and downs you go through when learning a new programming/database language (especially if you haven't had much experience with it before). In case anyone else is feeling the same way at the moment: 頑張って! Do your best!

I heard that there is a pharmacy with historical furnishings and equipment near where I live. Now I want to take a trip there soon. ⚕

The new Routledge Handbook of #Multilingualism just landed on my desk, edited by Carolyn McKinney, Pinky Makoe, and Virginia Zavala. Includes the largest number of authors from the global south I've ever seen in a collection in #linguistics

It turns out Antwerpen has a little museum with a huge and important collection of Edvard Munch lithographs, including the original of the scream But before that, here are a couple of classics from one of Goth's original gangstas that I had never before seen in the flesh.

Today, unfortunately, I had no more motivation after studying, but tomorrow I will start a new novel that will certainly teach me new vocabulary.
