(no subject)

I slept badly the night before last, waking up quite a lot every so often. At 3:45am, I had to get up for a drink, and then was TOTALLY AWAKE, so decided to lie in bed, reading one of my French grammar books (I've done it before. I suppose I pick French because I'm familiar with it, where German is still a little out of reach for me).

I've started making a notebook in which to refresh my French, but also record German equivalents of phrases in the hope that I won't forget the German. And also because I hope that it will strengthen my knowledge of both languages (because I'm so mad at myself that I didn't put more effort into keeping a good knowledge of French. I could've been doing translation work by now if I had!)

Mum has started calling Miraculous Ladybug "The Squeaky Girls" (because the French dub follows anime voice cues, it seems to me*). She then said that sounded like a knockoff girl group (because of course it does).

AW MAN I LOVE THIS SHOW.

(I totally was not expecting to, btw).

(Talking of which, from next Saturday, the Disney channel are showing new episodes! \o/ I actually don't hate the English dub as much as I thought I might - I don't like some of the voices, but I don't hate this version).

( let's talk about spoilers! )

*in that teenage girls are very squeaky, and the villain has a voice from the depths of hell. In the English dub, the girls just sound normal, but the villain still sounds like he crawled out of hell (sort of).
