I don't know Japanese, but Chinese (Mandarin, to be specific, as I wouldn't know one end of Cantonese/Taiwanese/etc to the other...) is pretty much my native tongue, so...

How many languages do you know?

Woot woot. Supporting Mene. :heart:

Oof, and now I'm off to bed~ Night!

It is very good. :yes:

Oh! I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me, Iku. I fixed it. :yes:

@Dessert: Two. You?

Just one >.<'

Yeah, I did. :XD It was 飛段, then Nightmare, and now Antagonist. :P I plan on keeping this one. =3

Ugh, I don't miss moving. xD
I have to move like 3 times a year or something due to my Co-op. I'll be in like 3 different states at least once a year. UGH.

And I can never remember people's previous names. xD Sweet.

And

Ni hao! Ni zeme yang?

It's also been too long since I've visited China... I've been gradually losing my fluency!!

I'm excited about it now. :eager:

No problem. b^^ I actually didn't know either until a few weeks ago. XD
Then it was kind of like "oh... oops! XD"

lol, I don't either. :XD It's always hell trying to cram everything into my bags and cleaning the stuff and then carrying everything and stuffing them into the car...not to mention the long drive...:sweat:
...Though the drives were probably not anywhere near as long as it would've been had I been living in the states, considering how small our island is. :sweat: A trip usually takes around three to four hours.

Hehe, no need to remember my previous names, just call me whatever you feel sticks. :XD

lol, 我很好, 妳呢? =3
I still can't for my life manage to read simplified Chinese. So hard! :gonk:

why is it called simplified if it is hard to read?

Because there's Traditional which is harder? :lol:

Because they took a lot of strokes out from the traditional Chinese, or altered how a character was written. I grew up learning traditional Chinese, so simplified Chinese, written all different from their traditional counterparts, make them very difficult for me to read. It's pretty much like learning completely new characters. And there are enough traditional Chinese characters out there already without needing to add simplified Chinese characters into the batch as well.

proooooootagonist!! mwahahaha

Hmm. Kind of reminds me of Japanese. :XD When they just kept adding on the Chinese readings for Kanji in addition to their own readings/meanings. :gonk:

xD

Someone (preferably someone active) should go and change their username to Protagonist so I'd have someone to be a proper Antagonist to! o 3o

Yeaaaah. Confusing languages. :lol: One character could have several different pronunciations, not to mention all the different meanings they could have...

Yeah. XDD I'm still more used to Japanese now instead of French. Now French is the hard one. :lol:

if i had the gold i would do that >.>'

@Iku: lol! Yeah, I don't think I'd be able to pronounce the language. :sweat: Much the same with Italian, Spanish, etc...:sweat:

@Dessert: Just 700 more gold to go!

I... wouldn't. :XD I like my own name too much.

I'd have a hard time getting used to Iku as Protagonist too. :XD;;;

@Nim-san: My friend knows a good bit of French and she says she wants to study it more; so ... I'll have her if I ever want to seriously try and study French. I want to learn German too. Blargh. Too many languages.

It would be very... it wouldn't feel right. :XD

Yeah. :gonk: I don't have much talent for learning languages. I keep forgetting everything I've learned within hours of learning it. :sweat:

Yeah, definitely. :gonk: Don't change your name, like, ever. :o *clings to Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa tightly*

Urk! Should've gone to bed an hour ago. :sweat:

See you guys later. I have morning shift in another seven hours, so I've only got like five or six hours of sleep left tonight. :sweat: *poof*

You just need to study more! :illgetu: You have an advantage since you already know a language. :p

I'm not! :heart:

Have a good sleep. :3

yeah but all my gold is going to a raffle right now >.>'

UGH, driving. /rage/

I just call people by whatever is floating above their heads. Or shorten it down to ~3 letters.

AND UGH, traditional! I juuuuust barely learned some simplified chinese. Traditional has SO MANY STROKES. Ugh. Chinese, why you so difficult?
And then my boyfriend tried teaching me Canto and my throat and tongue are not that talented to make the noises they make....

I'm just glad I didn't have to do the driving. :sweat:

I probably wouldn't be able to pronounce Cantonese either...it's bad enough with Taiwanese. :XD;; According to a friend, I keep getting the enunciations wrong.


And UGH, so tired right now, I feel like I'll just faint somewhere and crack my head open on a wall or something. :headdesk:
