I only know enough Spanish to sort f understand signs and some other writing, but as for speaking or writing it myself, that'd be like asking me to write an essay using a banana as a pen. I also now a few of the popular French Phrases.

All I know is that your romanization is somewhat off.

So you want to become a polyglot. Well, good luck with that.
..? It's not off, trust me. Maybe cocha is, and I did say one word wrong. It's sukoshi, not scoshi. Somehow that slipped my mind. .__.;

I love languages. I've been learning French since I was nine (I'm half-French), but I still don't know most French slang :/ Next up is either Japanese or Spanish.
I started last year (9th grade) I started off with a bang, and slipped as the year continued, I love french soo much I probably wont do anything different other than that as a second...

Yeah...though jap. in my eyes is a whole lot harder then french...

French is easy if I study really hard and practice often...

I can understand French sometimes better than English.. strange... o_O
I completely agree, some time I just can't understand my own true english language, If I can say it why do I need in depth lessons on pro-nouns!

Ok gotta go!

- Au revoir

I love Spanish~ They offered it at my school, but I ended up taking Computer Sciences instead. They have Italian, too, but Spanish always appealed to me more. I had heard from someone that learning French could actually make learning Spanish & Italian easier to pick up because many words between the three languages are very similar to each other.

I can only speak one language, but I know a little bit of Spanish though. ^^
Bueno, Ashley. :x
Great, Ashley. :x
Subarashi, Ashley. :x

I took Spanish for 8 years, but last year, I wasn't liked by the teacher, so I got a lower grade. Also, I didn't care. XD; I don't usually care in classes where the teacher is annoying or rude. But, I got a C. :/

I speak English... fluently, obviously. XD I'm okay in French. I've taken it since fourth grade, so I would hope so. I can read and write it aaaalmost fluently, though it helps if I have a dictionary next to me. I fail at speaking it though. D:

The only other language I know is Japanese and I probably have the ability of a kindergartener or something, lmao. @[email protected];


paired with professor plum.

XD; You and me, both. I know enough to get by in Japan for...an hour or less. But, it's 10 times harder when you are forced to teach yourself. x__x;

I taught myself Japanese for a year or two before I started formal classes. I'd done a pretty good job, since I got 99% in that class. XD Probably lost my one percent on the vocab. (I mostly studied grammar on my own, not useful terms.) But yeah, after that first year my mark went down to 85% for two consecutive years.

I'm taking Japanese again in university, but I don't know what level to take since I haven't formally touched the language in a few years. D8 The most I do is translate the Japanese manga/books I import every so often. :B

That's still awesome. XD;

I look, about every week, for Japanese classes at the college. They offered them 2 years ago, but..now they only have Chinese and German. ;___;

I talk to my family in Japanese and some of them think it's awesome. But, some get all mad and call me racial things. XDD;
