I stress myself a bit but i can’t get the adrenaline pumping

#

I feel like my reactions are too slow

#

I have problems reacting to situations i haven’t experienced before

rugged plaza
#

ain't that just not paying attention

#

Ah

hot cloak
#

And then my teacher starts yelling at me to use my head so i get too nervous

opal sequoia
#

Hmmm. That seems like a weird problem to have. Why are you in situations where you have to react suddenly?

sudden panther
#

Stopping is usually an appropriate reaction for most dangerous situations. mmlol

rugged plaza
#

Braking

hot cloak
#

My orientation in space is also bad so i can never guess how much to turn the car

#

Or how far the other cars are

rugged plaza
#

🤔 I honestly haven't heard of such problems before

sudden panther
#

Unless your poor car is in the process of being destroyed by hail and you can't see shit because it's raining heavily so you just rush for the nearest place to stop and hide. mmlol

rugged plaza
#

But turning is actually more visual than most ppl think

opal sequoia
#

A lot of problems will solve themselves with time.

sudden panther
#

Eh. Orientation comes with time and practice. You have to get used to how big your car is.

rugged plaza
#

U judge how much with your eyes sorta

sudden panther
#

How's turning a problem though? 🤔

hot cloak
#

I don’t mean stopping, like for example when there was a car before us, i didn’t do stuff like “signaling to left, looking to the mirror and then turning”

rugged plaza
#

Idk

#

Oh those are reflexes that u will do automatically tbh

#

With time

hot cloak
#

I can’t guess how much to turn the wheel arrem

rugged plaza
#

That's visual

sudden panther
#

That's just your brain being overloaded because you're a beginner. There's just too much stuff to keep track of. With time, working with the pedals and the steering wheel start feeling natural, so you can direct your attention to other things.

rugged plaza
#

U don't dicide on how much u turn then turn it sorta ish

opal sequoia
#

How much have you driven so far, Suzu?

hot cloak
#

I think like 10 hours :<

opal sequoia
#

It sounds like you are in way more complicated situations than you should be, to me. 🤔

sudden panther
#

Turn it a bit, see how the car reacts and adjust. Unless you're in a really memey curve or driving really fast, you'll have time to adjust.

hot cloak
#

No wait

rugged plaza
#

That's not much so dw

sudden panther
#

^

hot cloak
#

18 times 45 mins

rugged plaza
#

13 and 1/2

opal sequoia
#

Yeah, for us, to get our license before 24 or something, we have to have 120 hours of driving minimum.

rugged plaza
#

Still not much

opal sequoia
#

So 18 is nothing.

#

Or whatever time that is.

hot cloak
#

We have 28 times 45 mins

rugged plaza
#

13 hours 30 mins

sudden panther
#

True. With 13 you're as green as it gets.

rugged plaza
#

That like 20 hours OwO

opal sequoia
#

No wonder you would feel unprepared at that point. 😄

rugged plaza
#

Maybe practice with your parents I guess ? >.>

opal sequoia
#

You should see if you can spend some time driving in places where there are no cars.

hot cloak
#

But I’m half way through the lessons cries

rugged plaza
#

Like in a safe place where cops can't get you

opal sequoia
#

Like an empty parking lot or so on.

rugged plaza
#

^

sudden panther
#

My lessons were shit. I had really few and I really only learned to drive properly later with my dad.

hot cloak
#

I don’t have problems driving in empty roads but on traffic lights D:

rugged plaza
#

Practice your Kansai dorifuto a bit more

hot cloak
#

Or generally places with more cares

opal sequoia
#

You don't have a problem driving in empty roads? But you just said you don't know how much to turn the wheel.

rugged plaza
#

Ain't that stress then .-.

#

mAh brain is confused

hot cloak
#

@opal sequoia it’s easier when there are no cars around

fair iron
#

Unless you violently jerk the steering wheel around, turning too much/too little can be easily compensated for during the fact.

opal sequoia
#

Then the problem isn't the turning.

hot cloak
#

Cuz theres a lot of plac

rugged plaza
#

?.?

sudden panther
#

Don't expect to be perfect when you finish your lessons.

fair iron
#

^

rugged plaza
#

Actually you'd most likely suck

opal sequoia
#

Ah, I can give you a tip for steering, though you may already know it: Never push the wheel. Only pull it.

rugged plaza
#

The exam is only to make sure you won't kill anyone tbh

fair iron
#

I second Base's advise.

sudden panther
#

tf u doin pushing and pulling the wheel

hot cloak
#

@opal sequoia what

opal sequoia
#

What I mean is... you never turn the wheel left with your right hand. You turn it right with your right hand.

sudden panther
#

Driving pro tip: instead of pushing or pulling, try turning it left or right. mmlol

opal sequoia
#

You turn it left with your left hand.

rugged plaza
#

drive without steering wheel trust me

fair iron
sudden panther
#

What if you only have one hand on the wheel tho? mmlol

opal sequoia
#

I don't mean pushing it forward and back. I mean pulling it towards your hand or pushing it away from your hand.

fair iron
#

Then you turn it forwards and backwards, easy.

rugged plaza
#

That's for ppl more comfortable with their driving

hot cloak
#

I’m confusion

opal sequoia
#

Someone who can't turn with two hands should not be driving with one hand.

rugged plaza
#

I am become death, the destroyer of worlds

hot cloak
#

I think the way i turn it is kinda ok

fair iron
#

My advice is this: keep readjusting your hands as you turn. As soon as one hand is at the top of the steering wheel, move it to the side again.

#

Once you want to drive straight, you can just let go. The car will automatically adjust for you, which is awesome.

opal sequoia
#

Yes, your hand should never cross over the middle of the wheel. That's another good tip.

sudden panther
#

Fun fact that's maybe known to everyone else: Newer cars have steering wheels that are so light that it literally doesn't matter what you do. I can pretty much turn the wheel with just one finger. 😩 😩

fair iron
#

Give it a month and it will be touchscreen compatible, Arrem. ^^

opal sequoia
#

These tips might seem super useless and meaningless, but they actually affect your turning accuracy a LOT.

#

Way more than you think.

rugged plaza
#

Give it a year our license will be useless with self driving cars

sudden panther
#

I'd buy a self driving cat tbh.

fair iron
#

Not going to lie, I'd prefer to have a self-driving car.

opal sequoia
#

Also, don't clench your hands when you grip the wheel. Hold it loosely.

hot cloak
#

Casca had a great advice - to write down my mistake. I’ll do that and consult it later with you guys here

opal sequoia
#

Okay, good luck.

rugged plaza
#

Ok

hot cloak
#

Well, not now cuz I’m sleepy

opal sequoia
#

But please do think about how you're moving the wheel next time you drive.

rugged plaza
#

inb4 we were all GTA drivers

sudden panther
#

Yo Soo.

hot cloak
#

So you can keep throwing the advices at me mmlol

rugged plaza
#

But that hurts

#

I'll give them

sudden panther
#

Brilliant plan. Take your dad's car key and go for a drive like right now. And livestream it so we can give you tips. mmlol

hot cloak
#

lol

fair iron
#

Keep your hands on the steering wheel whenever you can. Don't fiddle with your fingers. Only move one hand off to shift when you have to. Resting your hand on the stick shift prematurely is unnecessary.

hot cloak
#

My dad doesn’t have a manual car

rugged plaza
#

Inb4 we crash her dad's car

sudden panther
#

TWITCH DRIVES A CAR WHEN

opal sequoia
#

I bet if Suzu had to drive a manual car she would stall it constantly.

fair iron
#

Then a tip for driving automatic: Place your non-dominant leg beneath your seat. Don't even think about using it.

rugged plaza
#

That's assuming she can drive it

hot cloak
#

@opal sequoia i do have a manual car during my lessons mmlol

rugged plaza
#

:0

opal sequoia
#

Then maybe that's why you're having trouble.

fair iron
#

Push the clutch down as far as it goes. It makes shifting a lot less forceful.

rugged plaza
#

Some of my friends haven't the faintest idea how to drive manuals

opal sequoia
#

No. Change gears without using the clutch.

sudden panther
#

LPT: An automatic transmission car can be used as a manual transmission car if you just pretend to shift gears.
Reverse LPT: A manual can be used as an automatic if you buy two monkeys and train them to shift gears.

hot cloak
#

Learning on manual cars is a standard here i think

fair iron
#

In other words, ride a bicycle.

#

It's best to learn on manual.

rugged plaza
#

@sudden panther best advice so far buy two monkeys got it

hot cloak
#

And yeah, I’m stalling the car quite often lately sadlol

sudden panther
#

Not-stalling-pro-tip: Go easy on it.

fair iron
#

Arrem in an automatic: "Whoops, I'm in low mode again. Reverse. Drive. Park. Neutral. Now I'm driving sideways."

sudden panther
#

I saw a story about someone who thought P stood for Pass once lmao.

opal sequoia
#

Pass?

rugged plaza
#

Me Driving manual is 20% shifting gears 80% me thinking I'm initial D MC

sudden panther
#

Take over.

hot cloak
#

Hahahahaha

opal sequoia
#

What.

hot cloak
#

That made me feel better

fair iron
#

Manual for me is 95% shifting correctly and 5% going from 2nd to 5th.

opal sequoia
#

Wow.

rugged plaza
#

Boi

opal sequoia
#

For me driving manual is having to get my stupid clutch fixed.

rugged plaza
#

That's like going from kissing straight to paying for child support

fair iron
#

Seeing as accelerating in 5th gear when you're going no more than 30 km/h is really hard, I'd say it's like going from kissing to h*lding h*nds. :D

rugged plaza
#

Y would u even do that anyway

fair iron
#

Because I'm clearly doing it on purpose. :D

rugged plaza
#

I mean we can't drive over 90km/h in France anyway

hot cloak
#

*h*lding h*nds

fair iron
#

Wait, seriously?

rugged plaza
#

Yup

#

Highly regulated roads

fair iron
#

O:

#

Wow.

opal sequoia
#

I thought it was 80. @rugged plaza

rugged plaza
#

Ok 120 at some places

sudden panther
#

The government puts a chip in your head and if you drive faster than 90km/h, it explodes.

rugged plaza
#

I think

#

It's 90 on most freeway

sudden panther
#

wtf

opal sequoia
#

Oh, you just mean the general speed limit.

rugged plaza
#

So driving on German border is like watching a vid speed up by 2x

sudden panther
#

90 on a freeway should get you and your dog shot mmlol

rugged plaza
#

.-.

opal sequoia
#

90 is indeed a slow freeway.

hot cloak
#

Why is it so regulated in france?

sudden panther
#

Snail country, snail drivers

opal sequoia
#

What do you mean "so regulated"?

rugged plaza
#

Safety measures

fair iron
#

In town the limit is 50 km/h, and out of town the limit is 100 km/h. On the Autobahn there usually is no speed limit. The highest velocity that you might be limited to by a sign is 150 km/h.

rugged plaza
#

The govt won't take any fucking chances

hot cloak
#

@opal sequoia the speed regulations

sudden panther
#

Soo woz d fastest yev ever driven

opal sequoia
#

Decreasing the speed doesn't mean it's "more regulated".

#

It just means the regulations are different. There's still the same amount of regulation.

sudden panther
#

I remember during my lessons when I was like "omggg i drove 60km/h so speedy zoom zoom fast 😎 xd". Fun times.

hot cloak
#

@sudden panther 60 or less

rugged plaza
#

150 90 ofc UwU I'm good umu

hot cloak
#

I’m not confident enough to drive faster

fair iron
#

Cars start feeling powerful at 80-100 km/h.

rugged plaza
#

I was panicking when I reached 60 like oh mAh God am I flying

opal sequoia
#

My fastest is probably only 120km/h.

#

As we have 110 freeways.

rugged plaza
#

Hahaha

#

I m the one with the highest ? >.>

fair iron
#

If your highest is 60 km/h, then no.

opal sequoia
#

It's not really something to be proud of.

#

Speeding kills people.

sudden panther
#

^

hot cloak
#

And flies

rugged plaza
#

Actually it's 130 ;-;

fair iron
#

Speeding is reckless, but not having speed limits on the Autobahn seems to work really well, so I wouldn't call it speeding.

opal sequoia
#

The exception being high-speed roads like freeways where it's safest to drive at the same speed as traffic.

fair iron
#

Straight roads with lots of space.

sudden panther
#

My highest was "achieved" on an empty highway where I just forgot what I was doing and drove forward without paying attention to anything before my dad noticed what I was doing. mmlol

rugged plaza
#

I was just saying it's weird since I'm the guy who can't drive past 90 most of the time

hot cloak
#

I don’t feel like driving too fast but i also get nervous when i see cars stuck behind me

opal sequoia
#

It's not weird.

rugged plaza
#

Just drive at acceptable speed

#

No need going fast

#

Just don't go slow

fair iron
#

90% of the people who have overtaken me were speeding. Why overtake me when the limit is 80 km/h, and I'm going at no less than 78 km/h?

sudden panther
#

Others are gonna get stuck behind you until you get a fair bit of driving experience (and know the roads you're driving on) anyway, so ignore them. They're not your problem and you've enough to worry about anyway.

rugged plaza
#

Cause life is a race .-.

#

I actually only did it once

opal sequoia
#

@hot cloak Never worry about people stuck behind you. If they want to pass, they can just do so when appropriate.

rugged plaza
#

And I regrat it

fair iron
#

So long as you're not going slow to the point of you endangering traffic, it's fine.

opal sequoia
#

If you're on a really long road and have a lot of people behind you, you can always stop at a rest and have a break though.

sudden panther
#

LPT: go 20km/h on a highway for maximum safety. 👌

hot cloak
#

I feel like I’m prolly the only person who gets happy when people overtake me mmlol

opal sequoia
#

No, Suzu.

rugged plaza
#

5km/h

#

Don't take any chances

opal sequoia
#

I get people behind me and have to let them pass too.

sudden panther
#

Ride a bike tbh.

fair iron
#

If you want to play it safe, then don't go above 130 km/h on a German Autobahn.

hot cloak
#

Just walk on the highway arrem

fair iron
#

If you get into an accident at higher speeds, you receive some of the blame, regardless of events.

rugged plaza
#

Going over 100 is already fast for me

fair iron
sudden panther
#

Can't get blamed if you don't get caught, so remember, whenever you get in an accident, drive away as fast as you can. 👌

opal sequoia
#

It is fast but driving long distances on freeways in the country is really relaxing.

fair iron
#

(That gif doesn't represent my views, merely reflects my eagerness to post it.)

rugged plaza
#

And if someone saw you plate

fair iron
#

That's easy.

rugged plaza
#

Run over that bastard

sudden panther
#

Fake plates. Driving 101.

fair iron
#

Get one of those plate-rotating devices.

sudden panther
#

^

rugged plaza
#

XD

#

I feel like we aren't giving proper advice to suzu though

opal sequoia
#

Only drive stolen cars.

sudden panther
#

Just bring a sharpie and change a 3 to an 8 or something.

#

Make sure to do it on both sides though.

opal sequoia
#

lol

fair iron
#

I think I know what you mean, Arrem, one second.

rugged plaza
#

Put camo on your plate

sudden panther

Rude.

Btw, do people get a msg when they’re banned?

rugged plaza

Sole bots do that i think

fair iron

It's normally the mods that get a message when someone is banned. 🙃

sudden panther

yes

#

"get rekt kiddo"

rugged plaza

I dont like being mod though

hot cloak

Hahahaha

#

Does the banned person have a way of knowing tho?

rugged plaza

It makes me corrupted and drunk on loser very quickly

#

Well they'd know when they can't find the server they were banned from

fair iron
#

They don't know who banned them.

rugged plaza
#

surprise

fair iron

They just find the mod that think can help them.

#

Which is none of us.

#

If we ban you, we cannot help you.

"How much does it cost to be mod?"

"Hey, you idiot! Why did you bully me?"

opal sequoia

Nice.

hmm it's more like i need to leave home for a while or not i'll feel like i'm stuck

hot cloak

What do you consider to be your home?

rugged plaza

i'd say ...

japan

or china

#

as i'm more culturally "asian"

hot cloak

Interesting 👀

rugged plaza

where do you consider home then ? >w>

hot cloak
#

Prague but i don’t feel attached to any country

I have yet to move abroad tho so it might change later

rugged plaza
#

well i don't feel attachment

#

to any countries either

#

just culturally

#

i guess

hot cloak
#

Hmmmm I’m not sure about the culture either

#

I feel asian rn but that might be just because i live in Europe

#

There are too many things idk about asian culture and my mindset is also different

rugged plaza

well being multicultural means you are never comepletely one

#

but yet you can't balance it like thanos

hot cloak

I feel mentally closer to Europe

But i also never feel like i belong there

next venture
#

Is it common for German employers to ask for an ID photo in your resumes?

#

I'm applying to a German company and they asked for a photograph :/

hot cloak
#

they might need your photo for an employee card

next venture
#

Isn't that taken after you get accepted?

#

They're asking it for a job application

hot cloak
#

odd

next venture
#

exactly

#

I thought inserting ID pics in your resumes was outdated

hot cloak
#

what field are you applying for?

next venture
#

it's an NGO

hot cloak
#

not sure why they'd need your photo then

next venture

a stiftung e.v

btw, if i get accepted i have to resume my German studies... which I haven't studied it since 2015 😮

hot cloak

lol good luck

Thank you

I would expect having to include a photo

not one to ID specifications, but a Passphoto which is just a photo in that format

like a small one

if someone were to ask me for an invite to a server

would I have to ask for permission first

If you were to post it here, then yes, you'd need permission.

Exceptions are made for other language learning servers, such as the French one.

You can link those without approval.

@nocturne frost Aachen offers lang courses from B1 (you need an A2 certificate) but they’re expensive and will take longer
Regensburg offers courses with a min of B1 certificate but it’s cheaper
Idk the deadlines for application tho

nocturne frost
#

probably too late, international students rarely have the advantages citizens do

#

but thank you, I've been looking at aachen too

#

going into set uni courses scare me

hot cloak
#

Deadlines to such courses differ from uni application deadlines tho

nocturne frost
#

I dont want to feel like I'm wasting my time, or to be locked into a course without any hope of escaping

hot cloak
#

Without any hope of escaping? 👀

nocturne frost
#

yeah like

#

I need to finish it, otherwise I have to go to another institution

#

and all thetimeI spent in it was for nothing

hot cloak
#

Not really, i see the german language course only as a place to learn german at

#

Because you don’t get any paper that you finished the course (or you do but it’s not important)

#

What you need is to get a DSH certificate or any other german certificate and the german course is only meant to prepare you for it

nocturne frost
#

ah fair enough

#

so you can still do the DSH independently?

hot cloak
#

Yes

#

At any uni

nocturne frost
#

I thougth the 1000-2000 hours of course time was a must though?

#

especially for DSH

hot cloak
#

You just have to apply for it and pay

nocturne frost
#

like

#

you have to have a certificate saying you did it for this long

hot cloak
#

Nope?

#

You can even get any other certificate for a uni

#

I don’t find that important, you just need a visa to be able to stay in germany

#

Or austria

nocturne frost
#

yeah like goethe, telc

hot cloak

hot cloak

although thank goodness I dont have to apply for that too

#

it would crush my soul

hot cloak

Well, i only treat the german lang course like a lang school

#

Where i can improve my german

nocturne frost
#

I'll ask about it

hot cloak
#

when are you going to germany suzu?

#

im really out of the loop lmao

#

At the end of September

YG is indeed cool

I want to watch the 1 hour BP v live for their 2 year anniversary just for the hell of it

I grew up listening to YG songs hahah

fossil nova
#

Shame they've only got like 9 songs

#

Ooh ok

#

That's sweet

hot cloak
#

Ye they seem to put in a lot of time into each of their songs

fossil nova
#

I randomly started talking about kpop to some guys and forgot that one was Korean and the other Japanese 😂

#

Both started going on about BP

hot cloak
#

hahahahah

#

For some reason, my (non korean) friends feel somewhat uncomfortable when I see them listening to kpop

fossil nova
#

Yes

#

I was literally just gonna say that

#

I'm not sure why

hot cloak
#

LOL

fossil nova
#

Lemme try and rationalise it somehow

#

I guess because we're interested in a culture that's not our own, it feels as if we're somehow being annoying to the people who are genuinely connected to it?

#

Sometimes an interest can be nice for the people of that culture but with kpop it feels like I'm being annoying somehow?

#

Idek why

hot cloak
#

Tbh, we do judge when people go on about "oppa" and say random Korean words

fossil nova
#

I mean all Korean people I know don't give a crap haha

hot cloak
#

The Koreaboos

fossil nova
#

Yeah that's just objectively cringe tho haha

#

What do you think of people who learn korean 😂

#

I guess it depends on your reason to learn it

sly wing
#

Listening to kpop and being invested in the culture in general has stigma I feel like, at least to most people who don't listen to it

hot cloak
#

I think so too :(

#

I love when people want to know about the Korean culture and want to learn the language

#

oh there are two potatoes here!

sly wing
#

Something to do with the visuals and aesthetics that comes with the culture, the aegyo / cutesy stuff that just makes a lot of people cringe, and the stereotypical bubblegum pop that comes with the music

#

I haven't listened to Kpop in awhile, like my kpop phase lasted for a year, but it did introduce me to other genres in Korean music that are less mainstream in a way so I don't really look down on kpop in general too

#

I just stay away from the hardcore fans, they're crazy

hot cloak
#

I got judged for listening to kpop on this server🙄

#

Ye they scare me too

#

I don't really listen to mainstream kpop either

#

Which artists do you like?

sly wing
#

the only group that I genuinely liked a lot is in the military (bigbang) so I took a break from kpop around the same time (actually got into kpop late 2016 so not much to say anyway)

#

and freaking blackpink just takes too long to make a comeback in between albums

#

I'm just more of a YG guy in general, I just like their vibe and style more over the others

hot cloak
#

Yesss

#

Same man, same

#

G-dragon was my first celeb crush

sly wing
#

I do remember liking mamamoo as well just because they're really great singers, and Seventeen for being amazing dancers + being involved in their music and choreography in general. I do like some of BTS' stuff, but their crazy fans just turn me off so

#

yeah the guy is an icon for sure

hot cloak
#

Yeah, BTS does produce good music, but the fans freak me out

#

I played Blackpink's 뚜두뚜두 during Phys ed class, and it was funny to see how the kpop lovers were dancing to it while the others were looking judgingly

fossil nova
#

Oof I'm bacc

#

Soz

sly wing
#

it's literally just a pop song smh, it's a bop

fossil nova
#

Yes

#

Glad we can agree

sly wing
#

as soon as they hear that "weird language" they just look at you funny

fossil nova
#

Besides Korean sounds beautiful and has the coolest script known to man so uhh

sly wing
#

tfw we're talking about kpop in a German learning server and they got knocked out by South Korea in the world cup

fossil nova
#

Also hi fellow potato

sly wing
#

yeah I do admire the Korean script as well

fossil nova

Eh whatever

#

Deal with it, Germans :p

It was rather funny hahahah

fossil nova

I mean I kinda liked it too haha

sly wing
#

ok I was actually mad about that, but at least I got to see Croatia reach the final

hot cloak
#

Do you think korean as a lang sounds cute or it’s just the way koreans speak?

fossil nova
#

Hi Suzu!

hot cloak
#

Hey potat~

fossil nova
#

Hmm

#

Both perhaps

sly wing
#

Cute-wise, maybe it's just the way Koreans speak??? But I think the language in itself is beautiful

#

I love how it flows

fossil nova
#

I don't just mean from the music but from yt videos of people speaking etc

#

I like the intonation of the language

hot cloak
#

I think Japanese sounds cuter

#

I feel like it’s the way they speak but i also sometimes hear normal guys speaking cutely even if they’re not really trying to idk

fossil nova
#

Hmm fairs haha

sly wing
#

As soon as as I faded out from listening to Kpop I went straight ahead to Korean hiphop and I just can admire how the Korean language flows so well. It just sounds sonically great

#

I haven't gotten as far as trying to learn the language though

fossil nova
#

kpop is up

What is your native language, salat?

#

yea

hot cloak
#

It makes it unique!

sly wing
#

I bet whoever created it just wanted an excuse to be able to draw a stick figure with a circular head

hot cloak
#

fossil nova
#

Lol

hot cloak
#

means clothes

radiant matrix
#

nah I mean it’s there pretty much to show how it0s a placeholder

#

right?

#

at least for onsets

hot cloak
#

The circle makes the hangul cute

radiant matrix
#

it’s the “null” consonant from what I’ve seen

hot cloak
#

Cute like koreans

#

No sounds in the beginning but “ng” at the end

radiant matrix
#

I do like the modular thingy though, it’s a great idea

#

like the system is fantastic

hot cloak
#

I'd like to know myself how this aegyo culture sprouted

fossil nova
#

Although don't certain sounds sound different depending on where they are in the block?

#

I can't remember exactly

radiant matrix
#

more like all of them

fossil nova
#

Lol

radiant matrix
#

well, most

fossil nova
#

Ok

hot cloak
#

what do you mean by "block"?

fossil nova
#

Oh like each syllable I guess?

radiant matrix
#

and it’s surprisingly hard to find a good explanation for how things are pronounced too, I recently watched some “how to pronounce korean consonants” videos to get a feeling for how the tense consonants differ from regular ones… but all the lax ones were lightly aspirated

#

like I could not tell apart g and k

#

because apparently they are slightly aspirated in the beginning

#

but not the end

hot cloak
#

You should check out Go Billy's videos

#

He explains things really well

#

I think asians are just naturally attracted to cuteness @hot cloak

fossil nova
#

Isn't everybody haha

hot cloak
#

Koreans have aegyo and japanese have kawaii

radiant matrix
#

as in to me ㄱ (g) and ㅋ (k) sounded the same, clearly distinct frm ㄲ (gg)

hot cloak
#

Although his accent isn't quite near native

#

No, white and black people not so much

#

@hot cloak if I'm not mistaken, at least from what I remember, this certain girl group back in the late 1990s who became popular pretty much started the trend. Then it just grew in popularity from there. When you look at it Japan also has its kawaii culture. Seems like East Asia values childlike innocence and celebrating youth more than their counterparts.

radiant matrix
#

parltcularly, ㄱ sounded like what I expected ㄲ to sound

hot cloak
#

Like, in asia it’s kinda normal for guys to be cute too?

sly wing
#

no

#

It's probably more of a Korean thing at this point. I don't think Japanese guys present themselves as cutesy too. I wouldn't expect the same thing from other parts of Asia where most societies are still inherently conservative and still conform to the same social norms when it comes to men and their image

hot cloak
#

Doch

#

I don't understand how they sound the same to you, Sascha🙈

fossil nova
#

Also I'd be hesitant to just say 'asia'

hot cloak
#

They aren’t constantly cute but don’t mind doing cute things as opposed to the white macho culture

fossil nova
#

I mean here, if you say someone is Asian is usually refers to Indian/Pakistani/Bengali for some reason

sly wing
#

Probably more open to it yes, I would agree. They don't frown on it as much in East Asia at least

hot cloak
#

Asia is a big continent

fossil nova
#

Yes

hot cloak
#

we say asia, but we mean east asia

fossil nova
#

like Siberia haha

hot cloak
#

Exactly

sly wing
#

China is starting to love Kpop as well, it's getting bigger there

hot cloak
#

Siberia is the ideal example of cuteness

sly wing
#

Japanese music isn't usually welcomed in China (along with the culture that comes with it) because of their history

hot cloak
#

Do you guys know Produce 101?

fossil nova
#

Do you think Korean songs will try an incorporate more English in the future?

#

I don't, soz

hot cloak
#

They are already doing it, potat

#

imo Kpop lyrics nowadays consist of about 40% English

fossil nova
#

Yeah I know haha

sly wing
#

With hiphop being the #1 genre worldwide right now and the Korean industry looking to capitalise on that as well as having traditional pop and electronic elements they're just putting more effort into incorporating English lyrics in their songs

fossil nova
#

But I mean full on English versions, like how there are many Japanese versions

#

Like BTS's Japanese versions

sly wing
#

BTS is spearheading the international movement pretty much and they're looking more into being able to interact with their international fans as well

hot cloak
#

I know a full English kpop song, should i post it?

sly wing
#

other companies will follow suit

hot cloak
#

Oo please post it in media!

#

Ok

#

Wait why not here

nocturne frost
#

illegal

sly wing
#

that song isn't terrible

hot cloak
#

its there

sly wing
#

TEN is more known as a dancer though (hence the mv)

hot cloak
#

#

Never heard of Ten

#

and they are SM

#

he's a new gen
