I have to draw my class' logo and we choose to put a kazoo on it.
That's what I'm doing. I choose to focus on Humanities so I study philosophy, literature (french and English), History, Spanish, Geography, Latin (you can do greek if you want as well) and Theatre (you can also study Cinema, Art History or Cartography).
In the end, if you pass the exams you can be paid to study. But that's only for the top students, who considered the nation intellectual elite.
But most people end up going to college.
Did you know that in France you can *willingly* choose to go back in High School after you have your high school diploma to study in the most demanding higher study programs for two (to three) years so you can sit for a competitive exam for the most prestigious french universities.
More than one school boy has their Queer Awakening to this photo, guys…
It was the All-School Tournament and he took first prize.
reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
just finished part 2 of arcane season 2. oMG THE ANIMATION STYLE IS SOOOO PRETTY.
i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.
lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.
arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.
swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.
i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.
how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!
if I had a nickel every time my favourite character in a horror TV shows about a small American town being haunted by supernatural creatures was a golden retriever jock and redeemed bully with great hair and a queer best friend and who happened to have lived in the 80's, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it weird it happened twice.
