Struggles of a language student

Whatever language you’re studying at uni, there are some universal struggles for us linguists…

Seeing that your timetable includes literature, history, business and law modules

You can’t go to socials because you have exams throughout term

Wondering if anyone can actually understand you in a foreign language

When the books to read are in another language

Either there’s no translation available…

Or somebody already took it

There’s also no film version

Literally everything’s in another language

You’re sick of people joking about oral exams

Wondering if anyone noticed you speaking Chinese in Spanish class

When people ask what you’re going to do with your degree

Learning a new alphabet

When you forget your native language whilst translating
