I'm At A N5 Level And I'm Wanting To Find Youtubers The Speak Natural Japanese. The Only Japanese Youtubers

I would like to point out a couple of things:

- the gang in the secret history (except Richard) are from very privileged backgrounds but the only one being flashy about it and making fun of people who don't wear designer ties and stuff is Bunny who has no money and whose own stuff isn't what he says it is (e.g. the print from the library book) and whose one good jacket at the start of the book has a stained and ripped lining

- the only one of the tsh gang to graduate is Richard

- Theo in the goldfinch has expensive tastes and was by no means poor but growing up with his mum he wasn't exactly wealthy either (searching the apartment for cash to pay the delivery guy) and in California he mostly stole food all the time or ate leftovers from Xandra's work so yeah his dad owned a flashy car and sometimes took them out to restaurants and he lived with the Barbours for a bit and turned out to be a good businessman but idk as a kid he wore t-shirts and hung out at the playground and watched tv and all that

- Theo has the capacity to have good grades but doesn't actually enjoy studying all that much (except art) and lets his grades drop most of the time

I guess the point I'm making is that there is significant overlap between the Tartt fandom and the dark academia aesthetic and people love to criticise DA for being all about money and good grades but Tartt isn't actually and there's no real reason for DA to be

GERMAN YOUTUBERS MEGAPOST

Hey German Study Buddies,

I think watching German youtube for the past year or so has allowed my German to improve so much. Adopting the German colloquialisms and listening to the fluency and grammar structures in the videos has really helped me so so much! For anybody learning a language: youtube is the best!

Not only is it fun to watch the many funny videos or hauls (yes…I have obsession with clothing hauls), but also you can learn so much by just continually listening to the German. Anyway, it took me a while to find these German youtubers so I thought I would share them in one big master post here:

PS: if you know any other good German youtubers let me know and I’ll add to the list! :) PPS: I put a little heart next to my favourite ones x

Ocean Vuong, from Someday I’ll Love Ocean Vuong

In Russian we don’t say “Good for you” sarcastically, we say “Возьми с полки пирожок”, which translates to “Take a patty off the shelf [as a reward]”, which I think is cruel because of course there is no patty
