This is my dad. Volodymyr Torbynsky, who died on January 15, 2025. He was 55. He died defending Ukraine from russian invaders. russians killed him. Please, remember him. He is a hero.

Thank you all for your support, kind words and help. I really appreciate it.

Guter Musikant aber schlechter Mensch.

the origin of this reversed title is further: it first appeared in „Ponce de Leon“ by Brentanos Lustspiel (Guter Mensch aber schlechter Musikant); then E. T. A. Hoffmann, the representative of late German Romanticism, made a "theory" of "good men" and "musicians".

the main point was...let us say that the "good men" (also known as philisters) are regular (normally precious and insidious) people who adhere to the norms and morals of their society; the "musicians" are artists whose nature (romantic) is different (often immoral), but this does not mean they are unsurpassed in their "craft". in case of this character, I was deeply impressed seeing how cruel Kanjuro behaves but how professionally he acts. however, a question of whether he was a friend of Kin'emon's is rhetorical: I've been researching Japanese culture and literature for a long time, I've been reading manga and watching anime, and now I know that the Japanese like to fill their works with riddles, puns, confusion, and so on. nevertheless, I like certain characters; they are not so primitive, although it seems so.

Do Europeans (and do Ukrainians) criticize for low foreign language skills?

Today, I found a post of a non-European who complained about how the Spanish criticized foreigners for nor speaking Spanish. It reminds me of posts about how Europeans hate when Americans are not bilingual or are not speaking their mother tongue.

As an Eastern European, specifically, as a Ukrainian, I personally give no sheesh whether you speak Ukrainian or not. However...

First, not all Ukrainians speak English/Spanish/French/German etc.

You cannot simply come here and expect us to speak English fluently. Elder generations speak English badly, my generation (um...actually, I am not gen Z according to our generation theory...I am Y...uummmm...however!) also refuses to speak (but learns), the youngest gen Alpha cannot speak English yet. Why? Because we cannot practice it, we have no extra money to travel all around the world (even before the war, ye know), and as an English language teacher, I have to say the methods of teaching English in Ukraine are...particularly ineffective. Same situations with less spreaded languages.

Second, we want you to speak Ukrainian.

It is a common situation (especially before the war) when a foreigner surely learns French or German but thinks English will be enough in Ukraine. You may say that is because Slavic languages are hard to (at least) speak, but many of you choose russian to learn. Moreover, there are absolutely brainless and somehow pragmatic people (yeah, Chinese, I am speaking about you) thinking it is enough to speak russian in Ukraine, the mother language of Ukrainians does not matter.

We want you to speak Ukrainian. We do not really care how bad you speak. We will surely (try to) understand you and correct if it is necessary. Our language is unique, and we want not only all the Ukrainians to speak it but also foreigners to learn.

btw how did I learn English...? well...I am a philologist of English and Chinese languages, and I have a bachelor degree (yet).
