I Mean This In The Kindest Way Possible, But If You Want To Draw OCs/do A Lot Of Original Work, You Must

ALRIGHT NOW YOU STOP THAT I DID NOT NEED TO CRY AT 1 IN THE MORNING

I realized something when reading chapter 6 of The Outsiders once again…

I had to ask myself “why is Ponyboy mentioning all the gun and all of the assistance from Dallas in the book (an English assignment that a teacher will read) but not to Jerry who Pony told everything to except that specific piece of information.”

Dally was still alive then. Pony didn’t want him to get into any trouble then.

Dallas is dead now. It’s fine if he brings it up in his essay because it can’t hurt Dallas now.

I noticed this and I actually had to close my book and just think for a minute. WOW.

I need this on a shirt

I need this on a shirt asap

What is this...

I will definitely look into the discord- can’t atm cuz of school, but I’m sure over summer and the following years I can use it reflexively >:D

Just saw ur post abt the winter storm, how in eywa’s name are you so fluent in Na’vi? I’ve been meaning to learn, but I haven’t had the time 😵‍💫

Kaltxì! To be fair, I'm not actually fluent—fluency in a language, by definition, is when you are able to use the language reflexively (so without really thinking about it). It'd be awesome to reach that point with Na'vi someday, but I'm definitely not there yet lol; I still usually have to think in English first and then consciously translate it in my head. Have to focus a lot while listening/reading too. But I am roughly conversationally functional lol, and I hope I am improving!

That said, the key is patience and practice! When you learn a new language, you're essentially training your brain to process information through a whole new filter. That's very much a long-term goal that will take a lot of time!

BUT, it doesn't have to take a lot of time all at once. You'd be surprised how far you can get by practicing just ten minutes a day as long as you do it consistently! Short but consistent practice sessions (even if they're as simple as reading or writing a few sentences, learning about one new grammar concept, learning five new words, etc.) are FAR more effective than long-and-intense but infrequent sessions. That's because with the short sessions you are making an effort to actually use the language every day, which will help it sink in much faster!

If you're looking for a place to start, I'd highly recommend hopping on the Kelutral discord server (that's where I do the majority of my Na'vi stuff lol). We have lots of resources and a ton of active teachers right now, ready to help and answer questions in text chat as well as providing various VC lessons/practice/activities throughout the week. :)

HELL YEAH :D
