Simple steps to be a Mastodon user:
- choose an instance
- sign in
- learn french
- learn japanese
@jonathon LOL, maybe. But japanese is harder to learn than french. IMHO.
@racuna Bienvenue sur Mastodon. Bonne journée!
@racuna I have yet to see something in french. But maybe that's because I speak the language and Murphy's law.
@racuna dont forget
-set avatar
-set background image
-hack the css of the site so it doesnt scroll horizontally
@racuna Ore wa ochinchin ga daisuki nandayo
@racuna alors déjà fait :D #polyglotproblems
@racuna NOT simple. BUT, ok

@racuna そう思うよ（笑）で多分嫌いな英語でリプするなら

Am I right?

- *Merde*
@Ronflaix I know *merde* but I don't even know how to order a beer in french
@racuna merde == shit, as well in the "poo" meaning than in the swear one.
@Ronflaix yes, I knew that, thanks to Gerard Depardieu.
@racuna Japanese is optional if you know French.

@pettter my native language is spanish. I'm currently polishing my rusty english and learning portuguese.
@pettter I will, thanks
@mygaitero @tze @pettter pero no en el timeline federado.
@pettter @profoundlynerdy I only see Japanese, French and English toots in the Federated stream. But I'm curious. Is there any people using Esperanto in real life?
Yes, a bit. If you search Mastodon for #esperanto you will see results. I've had some brief interactions in Esperanto. My facility with the language isn't quite fluent, but I try.
Also, there are a *ton* of Esperanto speakers on Duolingo https://www.duolingo.com/
@racuna french seems difficult
- grow
- collect pictures of Trumpets
Add:
Watch the timeline and
Catch the names of toots in preferred language.
@Algot before or after learning two languages?
I'd put it at the top of the list.
@racuna Maybe then by asking those you found in your chosen language who they would recommend. (look for boosts, too)
@racuna or use that maddafuckin kitchen english we always use elsewhere
@racuna @AdrienneCharmet
- prepare for russian classes
@racuna 床を転がりながら笑う
@racuna you can remove languages from the preferences
@racuna for once it's not "learn english" ! youhou !
@racuna et apprendre l'anglais pour les francophones :grinning:
@racuna I'm learning the wrong languages then. French is on my list, but, like, after Russian and Arabic I think.
@racuna Just invite people from your country to follow you on Mastodon. 😤
@racuna Then go back to your well tended walled gardens!
@racuna Given the number of .jp instance users I think the order should be switched. :)
