@mametsuko @toast in bilingual families, often members will code-switch fluently between, in the middle of conversations. it can be more easy for saying certain things in one language, or certain emotiononce i went a house of english/spanish/português speakers. english was their secondary, used with talking to me, but it got confusing when they start switching between spanish and português also talking each other, because i can kinda know only the first one, so it was too confusing ????
-
@toast well, but i heard that one language tends to be dominated if you don't deliberately try to practice or use others (I am not a bilingual so don't know actually...)
-
@mametsuko I mean my environment definitely helped out with it, eh?I have ways to get easy practice of all 3 of them, and I've been in that position/situation for as long as I can rememberbut yeah
-
@toast wow that's amazing. old japanese is actually different from the current one so maybe it's better to study separately (i don't think you need the knowledge of contemporary japanese to read really old ones)but except german and japanese, impressive i still cannot use two languages very well
-
@mametsuko I also have some interest in german (explanation is kind of long) and japanese (japan is one of the few countries on earth that actually have good historical records, and I would love to read those in the original, but it's not enough of a motivation for me to seek out practice and attack learning materials with the energy required to actually make it work)
-
@mametsukorussian (family are immigrants)english (duh)french (french part of canada)I'm also learning esperanto because I think it's a good meme
-
@toast what languages are you using?
-
@mametsuko I'm on 3 and working towards 4cannot recommend
-
@shmibs @mametsukoright, my sibling and I actually speak english to each other, but repeatedly code-switch when another family member is also in on the conversation
-
@toast @mametsuko mmm, very situational. it's actually a lot similar to diglossia of just dialects, really a dialect can be pretty much its own language, with separate pronunciation and words and grammar. so naturally using 関西弁 with certain people and toukyou style with others, or like in the us people using aave
-
@MiguelX413 @mametsuko @toast people switching between aave and newscaster-speak is normal
-
@shmibs @toast @mametsuko I feel like Japanese dialects are a little less comparable because while nearly everyone in Japan can speak 標準語 (hyōjungo, “standard language”) (afaik), most people in the US only speak their own dialect etc
-
@MiguelX413 @mametsuko @toast つこ says she has difficulty with east-speak; don't think it's that differentalso, much larger landmass is a thing
-
@shmibs @mametsuko @toast ye AAVE, but people still speak like they're from the south, like they're from New York, Boston, etc
