Earlier in the year I set myself the goal of reading two books in Welsh, by the end of the year. I’m just starting my first one now, starting with something very simple, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised how little I’m having to look up in the dictionary or my own grammar notes! 😁

It's blog post time again! We're doing #PolyglotNaNoWriMo preparation again, and this time I'm going to be writing three extracts from an old idea I had for some YA urban fantasy, in Swedish 🇸🇪 As always with these things it's completely unedited and not proofread, it's just about getting words out of your head and onto the page. Give it a read, if you fancy! http://densprakligaskatan.com/2024/08/01/pnp-2024-part-1-haxan-kapitel-1/

I have finally caved to societal pressure (a couple of people recommending it) and started watching Delicious In Dungeon. And yes, I’m completely obsessed with it now. Thank you in advance for your understanding and forbearance at this time.

@nic Mae angen i gannydd llygad rŵan. 😵‍💫

Imagine having the gumption, the gall, and the audacity to say this while looking like this

@lukito What a lovely shirt your partner has on! I don’t suppose you know where he got it? 👀

@ohjames I hate way more than just that. 🤣

I really, really hate summer. 🥵

@nic Nac ydw, dw i’n dŵad o Loegr 😅 - ond ro’n i’n byw yng Ngwlad yr Iâ am yr haf (ychydig flynyddoedd yn ôl) i ddilyn cwrs Islandeg. 😊

@nic Prynais i’r llyfr hwn pan dw i wedi byw yng Ngwlad yr Iâ, yn Islandeg. Dw i ddim wedi bod yn ddigon dewr i’w darllen eto. 😅

Jag skulle träffa en kompis häromdan, men jag ankom tidigare än förväntat. Jag bestämde mig för en tur inom bokhandeln… och såklart köpte några böcker. Det vore väl ohövligt annars.

Happy first of the month, and a very merry Pride Month to all who celebrate! 🏳️‍🌈 As with every first day of the month, it's blog post day, and this month I'm checking to see how I'm progressing with the goals I set myself for the year. Give it a read, if you fancy! http://densprakligaskatan.com/2024/06/01/tracking-progress/

Well, it finally happened - I discovered the joys of anime. So for my blog post this month, I'm gushing about that. Give it a read if you fancy! https://densprakligaskatan.com/2024/05/01/down-the-anime-rabbit-hole-neon-genesis-evangelion/

@ml_giles Mario Bros Wonder really is incredible, you’ve made some great picks. But I’m still mad at you for making me read the phrase ‘spunking my wad’ with my own two eyes. 🤣

@LevelUp I’m just going to drop this here, back away slowly, and if asked I’ll deny I was ever here. 👀 https://youtu.be/cuYMT9oD3CI?si=hI8a8QkPM2YENV6X

@LevelUp For me, Dutch music was a gateway drug to Afrikaans music, so be careful 🤣

@ohjames Of course! For me and all my friends, who definitely exist and are here with me right now. 😅

Could really have done without my Uber Eats driver saying 'you ordered quite a bit, didn't you?' as he handed over my McDonald's bag this morning. Like, he wasn't wrong, but... I feel like it didn't need to be pointed out. 😅

Oof. If anyone was wondering where all the nachos went, I think I ate them. There is surely not a nacho left on this godforsaken rock that I have not consumed. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go lie down for 3-5 business days. 😮‍💨

@lukito Funnily enough, I’m playing through Pokémon X in Japanese at the moment - haven’t come across a Vulgina (don’t) yet, but some of the Japanese names really are wild 🤣
