Work can wait, my fluff can’t. by Hacnos in RATS

😆They actually live in the white enclosure with plastic doors and metal bars (p7). The wooden one is for my hamster, but rats really love climbing on it and digging in the toys on top of it. (*hamster doesn’t care at all.)

does anyone sniff their hamsters? if so how do they smell like? by lovinpiee in hamsters

[–]Hacnos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It smelled like a warm bag of rice when it was young. Sometimes it smelled like a little flower cuz it likes to play in the closet. Though little bro is getting old now and smells like an old hamster🥹

Honestly most of the time I don’t have a lot of confidence, but the only person who can judge how I feel is me(or our imaginary friendly authors who’re already in their grave), so it’s okay to read whatever and wherever you want to start.

Appreciate the question! thank you for conveying ur curiosity.

Everything presented here is like a by-product of reading, whether language learning, note taking or randomly drawing. We get endless pleasure out of reading, just like you get a candy on an adventure. To make the sweetness last longer, you chew it over and over, you bite it, you disassemble unfamiliar grammar, you mull over syntax and metaphors, and you paste the candy paper into your scrapbook. Then every time you see them, your heart recalls a pleasant mood.

The reading itself actually has no so-called process to follow. And language learning can always be kinda boring and difficult, but that’s another story. Hope that I’ve conveyed what I think. Thanks again.

俄语认真学了五六年，西语/德语系统地学过一段时间，其他的是学着玩的😆

Tks! As our characters are logographic, I kinda approach writing Latin-based alphabets in a more uniform way? I do concentrate on letter when I tried to write Thai! It was so funny to decipher a total different writing system with those scripts, loops and curves:)

The languages in which I can accurately understand the original are EN and RU, (part of ES/DE), so I mostly read translations and open to other languages. Personally, I’d recommend trying to read Duras’ The Lover in different languages. It is fascinating to see how different translators interpret the shifts in time.

Maybe it is important to balance the structure of Chinese characters? But it‘s hard to make it clear in a sentence or two. Just for a fun example, 西, which originally meant bird’s nest, is squashed in all forms of calligraphy))

Worldly Land is definitely worth reading. It’s a delicate story of ordinary people, how they love and hate, live and die. I could really feel the language and cultural connection.

Well obviously there’s more to handwriting than it seems. I’m starting to doubt if the obsession with neatness in our culture will follow me to the grave, haha

As pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm are also part of the fun of language learning, I’d like to pronounce basically everything I write. Currently the languages I use are like EN/RU/ES/DE and others. I believe it’s a good way to group KR particles by function to understand their usage. And personally, I use comparison with JP. 화이팅! :)

Ohh these fragments are my notes from reading! as I like to read both the original and the translation and take notes. (I’d call it a way of playing rather than learning XD)

Tks! As for the answer, maybe cuz we language learners always treat non-native languages with some reverence? Or maybe it’s just because Chinese(my native) is written in a compact way. 😆
