“Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friends.”
— Albert Camus
so funny that humans imagined a creature that is like a human but bigger and called it a “giant”. that’s such an uncreative name. that’s just an adjective. “it’s a giant!” “a giant what?!” “a giant… um. yeah. giant.”
In my L1-acquisition class two weeks ago, our professor talked about how only 9% of the speech a baby hears is single words. Everything else is phrases and sentences, onslaughts of words and meaning!
Thus, a baby not only has to learn words and their meanings but also learn to segment lots of sounds INTO words. Doyouwantalittlemoresoupyesyoudoyoucutie. Damn.
When she talked about HOW babies learn to segment words our professor said, and I love it, "babies are little statisticians" because when listening to all the sounds, they start understanding what sound is likely to come after another vs which is not.
After discussing lots of experiments done with babies, our professor added something that I already knew somewhere in my brain but didn't know I know: All this knowledge is helpful when learning an L2 as well:
It is NOT about understanding meaning. It is about learning the rhythm of the language, getting a feeling for its sound, the combination of sounds, the melody and the pronunciation.
Just how babies have to learn to identify single words within waves of sounds, so do adults learning a language. It will help immensely with later (more intentional) listening because you're already used to the sound, can already get into the groove of the languge.
Be as brave as a baby.
You don't even have to pay special attention. Just bathe in the sound of your target language. You'll soak it up without even noticing.
I was able to somehow fix it, but i still have school work to do, and I want to go to sleep earlier than I normally do because school starts tomorrow.
To make up, I'll draw 2 things tomorrow.
Also, my computer is still kind of acting weird even after I fixed it, but I'll also attempt to fix that as well.
So something weird happened with my laptop today. I was trying to finish up my summer work assignments since school is literally tomorrow (I'm still cooked). While I was doing my work, my laptop keyboard suddenly stopped working. So I searched online what to do. I did so many of the different tricks and methods that everybody online (forums, youtube videos, etc) did, but nothing worked. Then I tried restarting my computer. Guess what. That didn't work, so now I can't even sign into my computer. Sooo, I'm screwed.
Thats why there will not be any pixel art today or probably even for the next few days unless I can somehow fix this. I might be able to use Pixel Art Studio on my phone, but I am horrible at using my finger to make pixel art.
So if anybody knows how to solve this issue, I would be so grateful. If there is any information you need to know to help solve this issue, respond in the comments please.
I don't remember what model the computer is, but I will tell you what I do know. It is a Dell computer using Microsoft. It is a touchscreen computer.
Again, if there is anymore information you need or you know how to solve this issue, please respond in the comments please. I will be super thankful.
Somewhere along the way we all go a bit mad. So burn, let go and dive into the horror, because maybe it's the chaos which helps us find where we belong.R.M. Drake
