esp if you travel abroad a lot people always get so hyped as long as youre trying to speak the language of wherever you are. ive been some amount of bilingual (en/fr) for like a decade and i know my accent sounds like shit but people are so nice cuz the obvious effort is there
also itโs fun! thereโs so many good words out there. the french word for rubber is caoutchouc :D

Went to Paris this week with friends who donโt speak the language, so I got to practice :) a couple of different French people said they thought I spoke well! Makes me want to try even harder - I have a good accent but not the vocab or confidence to back it up ๐

Having multi-lingual friends and being able to chat and converse in different languages and stumble over phrases and learn new words is so much fun.

No thrill like practicing to order a croissant and le boulanger not immediately switching to English

time frame's approximate buuuut you know it when you hear it. think "poker face". there is so much space and everything's so dry... there is no lushness... the drum samples are unbelievably flat... and yet! and yet! it works so well! the economy of production makes any pop singer's vocals soar even higher than they would otherwise, and really pares the machine of a pop song down to its bare necessities... which is why i think we got so many bangers in this period. there's a lot of good stuff to get into even if it's just for nostalgia

tbf i'm still working on this but: many ppl have the tendency to like, put themselves out in the world with an attached asterisk like "oop! sorry i exist! oop! sorry if you don't like me, i'm working on being the universally beloved human object! oop!" and thusly pre-apologize for every mildly annoying or perceptually uncouth action they will ever take. none of that shit. assuming one is regular and not trying to like, destroy the lives of everyone around themselves, one does not need to constantly explain and apologize for their actions. trust people to tell you if you suck, because They Will.
same goes for art obvs. don't apologize just make it and if people think it sucks they'll tell you.
