Language meme! :D
Nov. 23rd, 2012 10:28 pmSO. I was listening to the pod_aware podcast on accents and thought to myself: Wouldn't it be cool if all the podfic readers recorded themselves talking in their native language/languages they can speak aside from English? And by 'thought to myself' I mean 'posted on twitter', obviously. And then ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sylvaine, who is an enabling enabler who enables, liked the idea and now we are making it a meme! Which means everyone should do it so we can listen to all the beautiful languages everyone speaks, even if we don't understand a word they say. Because fuck yeah, languages, that's why. <3
I don't have her dedication to actually search for fic in the languages I speak, so here's me, reading stuff from some books I had lying around:
The German excerpts are, in order, from Faust, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the civil code of Germany. Yeah. The French (I'M SO SORRY FOR THAT /o\) and Japanese excerpts are from some text books.
So this was fun! :D
