If you live in a country where English is the primary language, did you take a foreign language in highschool/secondary/upper elementary? What one did you take?
What was your primary reason for taking a language? What sorts of things influenced it? [requirement? interest in the culture? ancestral heritage?] Do you feel it was worth your time to take?
By chance, did you continue your studies in University in said language?
What do you think 'qualifies' a person to claim they have more than just a interest in a language not their own? Do they have to be of similar race to the language they're learning? I.E. Can you be white and study an Asian language?
What do you think is the difference between a 'scholar' of a language and a wannabe? I.E. What is the difference between a person who is legit-ly studying Japanese and a weeaboo? What are some ways to tell between the two?
I'm considered bilingual [English and Japanese tho I really...second guess myself and I don't think I'm as good as the exams say. xD;;] at the moment and I'm studying two other languages tho I'm really no better than a toddler at the moment at either of them. XD;if that
Please, if my phrasing is unclear ask me for clarification, I'm on some meds for some surgery i had last week ( so grammatical errors probably abound but but IDEAS ;.; )
