I'm a failed English Philologist (I passed 2 out of 4 years) and, out of my promotion of like 120 people, only 10 or so passed in the standard time (4 years).
A ton of people left, a couple of dozens have needed 5-6 years... and it's incredibly common no matter the degree or the year.
then i'm a strange beast, how many points are you supposed to get in one year? 60?. I was told that nobody achieves that. Got over 60 quite easily
just takes a lot of work
I tried to be "smart" with choosing options and lost all motivation due to the global crysis.
I chose both Journalism and English Philology in 3 nearby universities.
I like writing, I like investigating, I've done it for fun several times and even got paid for a couple of years. Also, I think I'd make a half-decent teacher.
I got my 4th option (English Philology on the nearest uni, Journalism is quite popular even though it's not essential to getting a journalistic job) and like 9 months later the whole global crysis was a big thing.
Government cutting funding on schools and all that plus the declining birth rate made me see that I wasn't going to have a nice future, that I was effectively losing my time.
It didn't help that, after years of enjoying motorsports broadcasts from 🇺🇸, my accent was irremediably rigid and far from the Harry Potter-like bullshit they wanted me to sound like.
One British teacher went as far as to say that, considering her traveling, I sounded like a Spaniard that had studied in a nice place in Alabama.
So, yeah, even if I had tried, Phonetics would've probably fucked me in the ass regardless.
i like the southern accent
southern english is nice as well
but northern english or US coastal accents are insufferable
The Harry Potter-like sound is awful, I fucking hate it, but it's the easiest way to describe what they force you to sound like in order to pass some Phonetics shit.
yeah, they're forcing you to speak british
The Phonetics teacher went as far as to say that my accent was consistent and that that was good... but that was not what they wanted.
if you don't do that 100% correctly you'll sound like a pretentious prick
"Pretentious retards" is also a way to describe the accent of most Harry Potter characters and what the Phonetics teacher was aiming for.
Whenever I hear that kind of accent the only words that cross my mind are "I'm better than you, be glad I'm talking to you, pleb".
I wouldn't mind a Charlie Brooker-esque accent. It's amazing how that smug fella sounds less disgusting than any random people doing the "RP English" accent.
I love how the LGBT retards support Palestine over Israel.
I know a whole lot of them are suicidal but, goddamn, bro...
The left is just double standard paradise
Socialist councilwoman in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands 🇪🇸), during one of her highschool lessons:
· "25% of little boys must be castrated [...] Nothing bad happens to a boy if they're missing their penis [...] This would solve both toxic masculinity and overpopulation"
Aurelia Vera RodrÃguez, look for it (I couldn't find any article in English so far).
Someone from an opposing political party has received several recordings of her insane ramblings and have decided to bring it to court because of hate speech, discrimination and incitement of violence.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, she has written stuff for far-left media outlets.
This just in: Ilhan Omar pretends to care about Jews
Sounds like a poser unable to commit.
No follow through.
YAY, IT'S SUMMERTIME, BOYS!!! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-british-tourist-20-dies-16442910
It's like the 3rd similar death of a Briton in 🇪🇸 this summer.
The other 2 were another young man and a small child.
