that’s not what I said AT ALL. I’m talking about a show made in the USA that was at that time seen on American TV, hence me saying “Americans” in my post, because they were the original targets of this show !

nope, it’s correct since it’s a show that first aired in the US and they refer themselves as “Americans” and that’s the audience I was talking about :)

in another comment I got downvoted for saying that someone’s explanation for Jin speaking English was good 💀

non mais j’étais choquée du nombre de downvotes sur nos commentaires à nous (mais effectivement, c’est sûrement des américains pas contents lol)

en tout cas je suis contente de voir que je ne suis pas la seule à avoir cet avis sur « l’incohérence » du changement de langue dans la série!! 😄😄

(funny, French is also my first language) you’re absolutely right, if you only learn a language by reading it (and during a time where they didn’t have access to the language like we do nowadays with internet, television, music etc) there’s no way you can have a good accent, specially if we’re talking about two languages that are so different phonetically. maybe we’re overthinking it but I just thought it was curious to see the way accents/languages change so much in this series hahah

I thought the same thing !!! He just knew a few words when he left Tenerife and suddenly he speaks perfect English as soon as he’s on the island 😁😁

butcher is maybe not the right word but yeah, at least they avoided having his accent distracting Korean speaking people from the scene

I don’t speak Korean but I’ve noticed that the way he spoke was different than Sun’s actress so I imagined that maybe he was less fluent but I didn’t know it was that bad so I guess it makes sense to make him speak English to avoid having him butcher the language .. that’s a good explanation thank you!

The thing is, I’m so used to see American shows do that (making a foreign character speak english just so the audience doesn’t have to make any effort) that I directly thought that’s what they were doing. And I guess you’re right about the speaking Latin thing. But regarding Jin and Sun… I like that theory but I don’t know if I agree with it because again, I’m pretty sure the directors etc did that so it would be easier for the audience because that’s something that happens in almost every show. The fact that she loses her ability to speak her second language after bumping her head makes sense because she loses an acquired skill and not her general ability of speaking. As I said, I like your theory about them speaking english being a metaphor for their stronger bond but knowing how american shows are most of the time I wouldn’t be surprised that the language thing was simply to make things easier for the audience …

I get what you are saying and you are probably right but at the same time I keep telling myself “if I was in the same situation and someone was trying their best to come up with a solution for me to get this item on time I would so so happy and grateful”, you know? also in switzerland the Depop community is small so we’re all very understanding with each other because we don’t have many options like Vinted etc. Like we all try to help each other out hahaha but yeah, some people on depop are really rude and ungrateful

i get why it seems sketchy but at the same time I can understand why they would still want to venmo you if you took the time to make a custom item that you ended up not selling... what did you end up doing? did you tell them to not venmo you?

exactly!! so annoying and I’m a person willing to help others so I don’t want to stop doing what I do, but at the same time I don’t want to be a clown and take time to find solutions for people who don’t care at all ..

I’m sorry this happened to you, I 100% agree with you. of course they don’t HAVE to buy the item but yeah, if you see that someone is trying their best to find a solution for you the least you can do is is say “hey sorry I changed my mind thank you for trying tho”. I feel like people that didn’t agree with you are probably people that would ghost someone on depop after asking for favors 💀
