@teaduckie My partner is learning Esperanto and e really wants me to pick it up too
I just want to work on my french and korean and swedish…
Esperanto
@atinyfairy Oh really? :O that's so cool! :). I've learned it 10-11 years ago.
Esperanto
@teaduckie Eir partner is a linguistics nerd (aren't we all though) and convinced em to learn it & also brush up on eir native spanish, so our whole household has been really multilingual lately @.@
Esperanto
@atinyfairy Btw: I recently started learning Swedish and Korean has been an on-off thing to me :).
Esperanto
@teaduckie we speak mostly English to each other, but yeah there are lots of linguistic backgrounds in my family !
-I’m from the US and was raised in French for one year but I barely remember it even after two years of formal instruction, I also studied Korean two years in school and forgot all of it ._.
-My partner Katjo is from Argentina, was raised in Texas, speaks English with eir close relatives and Spanish with distant ones
Esperanto
@teaduckie
-We live with our friend Jack who is from Florida and whose family lives part time in Mexico, she speaks English and reads French and Latin
-Jack and I work in the manga industry, I translate Japanese-English and she’s an editor
-My partner Pepper was born in Ireland and raised in France and didn’t learn English until elementary school
-My ex Sara is from Sweden and is fluent in English and fairly proficient in Japanese
-Pepper’s girlfriend’s girlfriend is also Swedish

@atinyfairy So are you a translator too?! :O awesome :). It's nice to meet another translator in Mastodon.
Esperanto
@atinyfairy I do mostly video game and software localization and I work for a small video game company :). Although, compared to you I am a layperson so I feel embarrassed calling myself a translator :).
Esperanto
@teaduckie aww I'm sure you do quality work! I mostly do trashy digital comics on the Kindle store that maybe 1,000 people read tops
Esperanto
@teaduckie I did this for example

@teaduckie I am! I do romance comics, these days mostly for Kodansha.
My highest profile title is Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, but most of what I do is stuff you're very unlikely to have heard of before hehe
