Ms Diva, why bother with cursive writing?
I never learned it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Through Russian I am used to that and I find it faster and somewhat
better-looking than common block letters. Well, my cursive might be horrible, but it's a must for us when it comes to Russian, there's no way to avoid learning it. I was curious if English or German cursive would matter, and to me it actually does, considering that most of the time I choose to write in it :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In Europe cursive writing is mandatory at schools. Every handwritten note is cursive. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It was a boring psychology lecture and I just had to write something after I was asked "Are you writing a poem?".
nichts has a crossed s because my fellow student thinks it's a mistake. It was hard to argue after a long day so I just didn't pay attention. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

both "nicht" and "nichts" would work here As to mistakes: second section, second sentence: er --> ihn last section, second sentence: sieht --> sehen (or did you mean "alles"? then I would use "scheint" as the verb) Edited by daegga on 25 September 2014 at 4:09pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I think alles scheint would really work better. Details just get forgotten without practice, sadly...

I was busy with the socionics stuff today. Having seen an old e-mail (about 2 years old) I have decided to take the test again. I was INTP (Balzac) back then and about two years later it remained the same with some changes in percentage:
However, I see some vital discrepancies in this result, and I have remembered about some discussions here. Does your character depend on a language you're thinking in? So I took an extended test, and here are the results. So my INTP gets changed to INFJ, from Balzak to Dostoevsky. At the very first moment I have found this rather amusing (not just because my uni is named after him and such stuff), but just for the very fact of me getting rather different result. I don't even have INTP in other possible results there, I could just as well be Dreiser (and I was trying - not without some sort of success, I believe, - to write in his style even before I was out in the internets) . But I also find INFJ's description to fit me way better than that of INTP. However, the tests were rather different, and I had some language and understanding the principle of the answering troubles, so maybe I shouldn't be so revolved around all these things. As for languages... While waiting for Dream Theater's "Breaking the Fourth Wall" to download, I turned on The Hollow Crown. I had only Russian subtitles, but I gave up soon and found English ones. I have never read Shakespeare in English before (sort of), also hadn't read much in Russian, so everything was so frrrreaking new, you just wouldn't understand it. I also happened not to know about Richard II's fate (and I want no spoilers about Henry IV too), so I got a triller instead of a dull "read in school" play. Needless to say, I couldn't possibly get all the 100% even with subs. But what stroke me yesterday and will continue to do so sometime later, when I continue watching, is Old English. I appreciate the idea of easy communication, but whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy will... I know that things tend to be simple with the ages passing by, but losing thou does not look like a good simplification to me, it's more like getting literally poorer. I am just curious how far will I go with it. Will I read Shakespeare, and when, if I will? Will I study some Old English just for its beauty? Will I get so insane, that will attempt to write in it. Seriously, when I was trying to fall asleep yesterday I have imagined how great it would be to write a play about Mary Stuart - and in Old English, anything else would be boring. However, as I am keen to base it on Zweig's novel, I also need a lot of French. So this is not so serious after all. But I am dreamy enough to keep on thinking. 1 person has voted this message useful |
