RE: Movement VIII: A Series of Photographs With an Old Nikon NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 AI Lens and Some Philosophy Musings (Part Eight)

Yes! I always see so many things in them. Sometimes I worry that I see things but then I remember I am sober.

Sort:  

Wow… autocorrect messed that up a bit. Sorry about that. I wrote dragon 😎🤣 I have my keyboard set to 4 languages… but somehow I corrupted them and I can type in each one a different language. Sometimes I don’t even realise I am in the wrong one.

It’s cool when one sees behind what you see. That’s the creative brain speaking…
I see things all the time. Especially in textures or clouds or trees even shadows 😎

Oh you can speak four languages? That is so cool! I can only do two. No worries, I think in the context of the post it made a lot of sense!

Yep… due to many country moves during my whole life actually.
Thanks 😎
It luckily did, and autocorrect didn’t change it into something weird hahaha 🤣!LOL
As that does happen sometimes and can cause some hilarious conversations after 🤓
Have an awesome day and enjoy your weekend @fermentedphil 👋🏻

Thats also fun though! But it can get pretty cool too. I love to explore deeper meanings between different languages that you can exploit only by understanding both languages. Have a splendid weekend!

It is hahaha 🤣

Yes, I know what you mean… in certain countries/ languages, you do need to understand all. To find the deeper meanings, the jokes and the little things you don’t pick up when you only have a basic level.
It changes everything once you reach that level of knowing and understanding of a level.

Thanks a lot 😊👋🏻 Have a great weekend too. Enjoy it…

Exactly! And that makes your life fuller and better. I am so sad that my parents did not expose us to different languages at an early age. I so badly want to learn isiXhosa, one of the languages spoken here, but my brain just functions on a different level in terms of memorizing things. I cannot even remember my own cellphone number some days. But I know that is the wrong approach to learning a new language. Haha, do you have any tips??

It does enrich your life so much.
That’s a shame.
I can give you an example of how I learned English. I didn’t have it in school and my parents didn’t speak it. I was raised Dutch and German.
In 2011 I started learning it via television, documentaries, music and movies. I put on the sub titles. And tried to speak along, especially with music.
I never done the grammar or lessons, I learned it the parrot fashion way.
Now since I joined Hive… December last year. I discovered… because of learning it the parrot fashion way, some of my words were and still are wrong. As I never written it really down, just spoken language. Like were and where, then and than, heart and heard etc. for me it sounds the same hehehe 🤭
I am just writing and writing now to get it right. And hubby did proof read my posts in the beginning. Now he doesn’t anymore.

I think you should immerse yourself in it. If possible… surround yourself with the spoken language.
Learn by doing so, talking. The written part can be later. If you have a solid vocabulary it opens up worlds.
