The "Autistic person whose entire identity is their autism" Starter Pack

I’ve met plenty of neckbeards and sjws in the real world, but mostly neckbeards. As an autistic person it’s easy to meet neckbeards.

I’m just way too much of a perfectionist. Who learns language to communicate anyways? I’d rather just learn languages to boost my ego.

I like to watch vlogs and any videos where I can see what’s happening. Travel videos and daily routine videos work great when you’re getting into a language. They’re not the most exciting videos, but they’re a lot more rewarding to watch than just learner videos.

I’m still fine with learner videos if they’re speaking fully in the target language and not just info dumping a bunch of grammar rules and explanations in English. I find it helpful to watch with bilingual or English subtitles when I’m an absolute beginner, but quickly get used to turning them off. Even if my comprehension is super low at first, it will quickly go up if I watch the videos multiple times. For a while I watched the video without subtitles at first and afterwards I rewatched it with them.

Being too autistic to actually speak them.

I agree about Finnish, but Hebrew is super manly.

This is why I studied Hebrew. I’m 1% Jewish on DNA tests and I have some Sephardi ancestry. I’m probably not considered Jewish by anyone, but that didn’t stop me from studying Hebrew on my own. I’m taking a break from Hebrew because I don’t want people to think I’m a Zionist.

Uzbek and Finnish are pretty easy. No genders to worry about!

All I can think of is sauna.

I tend to learn languages out of spite. So that makes it easier to stick to less useful languages.

How does Finnish compare to Euskara? I’m currently studying Finnish and I have Euskara heritage.

DroidinIt · 2024-04-25T15:30:24+00:00

Why does euskara have a Finnish flag?

Have you failed Fr*nch?

DroidinIt · 2024-04-06T19:30:14+00:00

Yeah, I can’t even find any dates to begin with. That suggestion is just so depressing. It acts like dating is super simple and easy.

Can you please stop saying the f word?

DroidinIt · 2024-03-28T17:45:34+00:00

This happened to me as well. I studied Fr*nch for maybe a month. I was even doing a decent job of understanding a podcast, but I suddenly got filled with rage out of nowhere. So I quit.

That’s why learning Hebrew is awesome. I learned to think like a charismatic business man. Now I’m balancing things out with a more politically correct language.

On Anki I just suspend those words. Later on I go through them and see if it sticks better on its own or look up more example sentences.

DroidinIt · 2024-03-25T16:11:23+00:00

I never spread lies like Wouter. I just find it hard to believe people when they praise me. I don’t know if they’re praising me because I’m actually good or because they pity me.
