why dont these words rhyme

For some reason a bird speaking Japanese is mildly off putting.

> Literal translation

Bird:“ ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”

Bird: “What’s wrong?”

Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”

Bird: “Okay, understood.”

Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]

Bird: “Okay, I understand!”

Owner: “Got it.”

> That’s clearly some sort of Pokemon.

> Off-putting? It’s like birds were meant to speak Japanese!

> For some reason it’s never occurred to me that birds can mimic languages other than English. It’s so cool, though!

MICE ARE NICE

Can we take a minute to talk about how classy Swedish mice sound? PIP-PIP, OLD SPORT. PIP-PIP INDEED.

The book of these sounds is nearly done! When it’s ready it’ll be for sale here

I love japanese bc it’s so regular and logical. eg,

kore = this, sore = that, dore = which koko = here, soko = there, doko = where koitsu = this person, soitsu = that person, doitsu = germany

These are not synonyms.

shy: feels uncomfortable or unconfident in social situations

introverted: gets tired from long bouts of interactions with other people

antisocial: has difficulty following society's standards of behavior

Hey, put on a coat! It’s like 20 degrees outside!

This whole thing is gold but I lost it at the Southeast food slide.

I made this powerpoint for this week’s lesson - Regional/Iconic American Foods. I went back through and replaced all the text with my student’s reactions.

i am reminded that english is a flawed language every time I am forced to use “that that” in a sentence

I found a gem. A glossary of fandom terms.
