since it seems like my wifi isn't gonna come back until the storm is over, time to give up and kill my data plan and the post html and just do this on my phone

ooh i see ... correct me if i'm way off the mark but the "the light" there establishes like, there's a definite place this is going on? and stuff that's going to be specific to it? like there's not just any light there, but a particular one? actually scratch that i think i may have fucked it up lol

i'm interested about this story. why is jae in the hospital? what is mary suellie's involvement?? curious minds must know!!!

yes np!!

past
fluent: estonian, english, russian, spanish
semi-fluent: swedish, romanian
bits and pieces: icelandic, finnish, german

current
fluent: estonian, english, spanish
bits and pieces: russian (altho thinking more about it, i guess romanian too)

hmm, i've actually not been in a situation where i needed the lost languages to revive? other than like, overhearing russians in brighton beach lol. so i have no idea. but i think you're probably right that i'd be able to understand, just not on the level i used to, and i don't know how much i'd be able to speak ... probably not much at all. :(

altho ... maybe this is similar to what you mean about languages appearing in situations where you need them? i was once in a semi-emergency situation where i needed to be able to communicate in french like, very, very quickly. so i absorbed basic conversational french like a sponge within 2 hours, became completely conversational within 5, then left france and forgot basically all of it. to this very day, i don't understand how that happened. it was freaky as fuck. i blame the fact that sometimes weird enhanced abilities kick in during an emergency??? like you just suddenly gain the skills you need out of necessity?? i don't know. i did a similar thing with romanian but that was 2 weeks so it wasn't nearly as weird.

i am so tl;dr lmao why

and yes i would be happy to let you bounce things off me! i think i'm a good person to do that

in that case, i anticipate "the" article about "the" article (is that what part of speech it is? i really don't know)

hmm that's interesting! maybe i'll try watching some russian films i used to like and see how much i follow them

yeah i thought the same. that wouldn't have worked nearly as well with like, japanese or something, lol. still, it made me wonder, what if instead of spending 3 years learning a language we just all got stuck in an emergency? would that do it? that's definitely not an experiment we should do tho
