I'm really bad with writing french but I can speak it fairly well.

Ling 01-04-2014 03:01 AM

I have a weird way of speaking Chinese...because my parents grew up speaking different dialects, Cantonese and Tee chow, they decided to speak to us kids in Mandarin, because they're both fairly fluent in it and because it is more widely used overall...so more practical...

Thing is though, while I can maintain conversations in Mandarin and understand most everyday talk I speak it in a Cantonese accent...often people assume I speak Cantonese because of my Mandarin speaking accent...it's kind of embarassing to tell them that even though my mum identifies as Cantonese and my dad also knows it, that I only know a few terms...not nearly enough to being remotely fluent.

I only know the terms that everybody seems to know in French like Bonjour, Au Revior, and those French food names, like croissant and creme brulee. If I knew enough to say a sentence I'd sound like a foreigner.

French is a cool language! It is one of those languages I would learn if I didn't already have so other languages in my 'really want to learn list'

Antagonist 01-04-2014 06:57 AM

Hm, it's like I speak with a Beijing-ish accent despite neither of my parents having ever been there before nor speak with such a heavy accent as I do, and people will just assume that I'm from China. [sweat] C'mon! It's pretty obvious I'm not! I don't even use the same phrases they do for certain stuff! [gonk]

French is on my 'really want to learn list' [rofl]
It's such a beautiful language. But I kinda suck at learning languages.

Oooh that must suck.
I knew someone who had never been to America and had a really strong American accent. So much it rubbed off one me and I couldn't swap back from it for a week [rofl]
Just like when I watched Black Butler. I spoke with a Brittish accent for a week. I didn't mind that so much.

Antagonist 01-04-2014 08:58 AM

lol That's so true! When I was in Beijing briefly for about five days due to a conference that we were hosting, (though why the heck we had to go to Beijing to host a conference when we're from Taiwan I don't know...would've made things a lot more easier here than there [sweat]) I listened and interacted with so many locals that by the time we left I was even dreaming in Beijing accents. [gonk]

and hello naked nation [glomp]

Antagonist 01-04-2014 11:28 AM

Hey Ophi~ [boogie]

Ophium 01-04-2014 11:31 AM

[glomp]
I'm actually glad the event js over.
It's the only time people get really active, which is good, but most of them just run off to some event threads and
gather prizes but that's all they want.
and I can't keep up with that on my tablet [ninja]
and the naked nation is empty and it needs its nudity

Antagonist 01-04-2014 11:32 AM

lol I'm kind of sad and glad that the event's over at the same time. [sweat]

I'm glad for the activity and all but it burns me out pretty quickly after a while. [no]

Ophium 01-04-2014 11:35 AM

that's it.

---------- Post added 01-04-2014 at 12:35 PM ----------

its just too much after a while [lol]

Antagonist 01-04-2014 11:38 AM

Yeah. ^^;

Makes me kind of wonder how I managed to keep up with everything back on Gaia. o___O;;

Ophium 01-04-2014 11:43 AM

I know right.
Although I erased the memory [lol]

Antagonist 01-04-2014 12:18 PM

And to think I used to spend over ten hours a day on the site too until they banned me. [lol]

Ophium 01-04-2014 01:22 PM

I wanted to be banned but I didnt manage to do it [lol]
I dont know why, its actually really easy.

Antagonist 01-04-2014 01:33 PM

Yeah, super easy. You don't even have to do anything and they'll ban you anyways! [lol]

Cora 01-04-2014 01:35 PM

I've been banned.....a lot. These days I basically just have to show up and they ban me xP

Antagonist 01-04-2014 01:42 PM

lol I don't think I'm as notorious as you are. xDD;;

Ophium 01-04-2014 01:52 PM

as long as you say nothing about gaia and be stupid, they wont do anything to you.
wasnt like that when I first joined.

Antagonist 01-04-2014 02:03 PM

Hm. I don't think I said much about Gaia...was banned quite a few years ago, in like '08 or '09.

hummy 01-04-2014 02:03 PM
