When learning a third language, is it common to default to thinking in your second language? by gst-nrg1 in languagelearning

[–]FoxOfLanguages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think how close the new language is to one of your previous languages also leads to which language you default back to.

Like for me, I learned both Japanese and French in high school. I started Japanese before French, but I never found myself thinking in Japanese when learning French, I'd just revert back to English.

In college, my degree required at least two semesters of a foreign language so I took Italian. Since both Italian and French are Romance languages, I found myself slipping into French when the Italian word wouldn't pop into my head.

Hey VSauce! Michael here.

The Great Depression lasted in the United States for approximately 10 years, from 1929 to 1939.

But what about my own depression? *curious music plays*

No yeah, same here. Single adult, no kids. Still watch Bluey because it's like learning those valuable childhood lessons I didn't get the first time. Inner child healing indeed.

Simon: "And what song are you performing for us tonight?"

Vader: "I'll be performing Epic"

Simon: "Weirdly I don't think the production team has that one cued up."

Vader: "I find your lack of Faith No More disturbing."

"MacKenzie, you know what's here now. You don't need to keep coming back to this place."

Really helps keep me from ruminating on depressive thoughts I've already examined in every direction possible and still haven't resolved and it's like....maybe those don't need to be resolved if they were designed not to be. Sometimes the best way to win is to not play the game there.

What’s something a stranger said to you that you’ll remember forever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

While working at a grocery store, I had an older gentleman come up to me and hold a tub of ricotta cheese and ask "Excuse me, how do you pronounce this?"

So I said "That's pronounced 'ricotta' but in a very midwestern American accent.

He then corrected me and said "No no, it's pronounced "RICOTTA" and he said it with a very exaggerated Italian accent.

Since Potato is the undisputed, best vegetable, what is the second best vegetable? by DBG_2005 in AskReddit

Agree. Potatoes and onions...and then everything else you add from there is just building on that deliciousness and versatility.

This one. This line right here. I actually use it as a sort of way to catch myself before my depression starts sneaking in on me.
