諦めないで｜あきらめないで｜don’t Give Up

Learning modern languages: Hello! How are you? My name is Josh. I am happy today. Where is the bathroom please?

Learning ancient languages: Life is long and unbearably hard. Each day barbarians slaughter another member of my family. Pirates, sailing swiftly across the wine-dark sea, have kidnapped my sister and stolen our grain. We are starving. Oh immortal gods! Soon we all will die.

Japanese Vocabulary : Using your phone in Japanese

[FRENCH BELOW]

This list is not complete, I will update it from time to time when I can ! Please note that I’m using a Samsung Galaxy S7 and  there might be slight differences depending on the phone you have.

I will not put the terms written in katakana, as 1) you should know them 2) their meaning is usally easy to guess since most of the time they’re english words.

PS : If you’re learning French, note that there are quite a few words / expressions that are abbreviated ! 

PS2 : Also note that I put my phone back in English and French to get the best translations, but some words are “computer terms” so please check before using them in another context :)

I hope this will be useful :) 

Cette liste n’est pas complète, je la mettrai à jour quand je pourrai! Prenez en compte le fait que j’utilise un Samsung Galaxy S7, donc il se peut qu’il y ait quelques différences avec d’autres téléphones.

Je ne mettrai pas les termes écrits en katakana : 1) vous devriez les connaître 2) si vous comprenez l’anglais leur sens est normalement simple à trouver, sinon il suffit d’aller chercher la signification (ce qui est bien plus facile que de chercher des kanjis qu’on ne connait pas…) 

PS : J’ai remis mon téléphone en anglais et en français pour avoir la meilleure traduction, mais faîtes attention car certains mots sont des termes réservés à l’électronique et pourraient ne pas fonctionner dans un autre contexte !

Reading in your target language just got so much easier

This cool little website, called readlang, allows you to upload your book, in your target language, from epub form into their website, right? And you just read your book from there. When you don’t know a word, what do you do? Do you go to google dot com and type in that word? Nope. You fucking click it. And it tells you the word. 

I am currently reading the 100 (this is the book that the tv show came from) and I can already tell reading this way is so much easier. I highly suggest making an account. It’s free, and works for more than 80 languages!
