Having RL drama, and it is not agreeing with me at all. [pouts].

The solution to this is obviously stealing a meme from the lovely wrongly_amused

Have your flist respond with the number of languages they speak, citing which is their native tongue and any other languages they're fluent in/are learning.

Never heard of Scrapped princess.

As for the languages: I grew up speaking both English and Spanish, so I consider myself a native speaker of both, but English is my stronger one. I am getting an Associates Degree in French next Spring, I've taken a semester of German, and I am going to start Japanese classes on Monday. I'm also interested in learning either Arabic or Urdu at some point in the near future. Maybe Italian too.

I love German ♥. I'm just about to entire my third year. Good luck with the Japanese; I've been meaning to pick up a textbook or two for a while myself.

I actually didn't take to German very well, but I think that was mainly due to their backwards grammar. I couldn't write a single sentence for my class, something was always in the wrong place! ^.^;

And thanks, I'll need the luck in Japanese. I've wanted to take it since I started HS.

I'm exactly the opposite with German. I feel like it's easier to learn than the romantic languages because it's derived from Anglo Saxan like English. Although it does start to get a little complicated when you learn all the cases, because sie and ihr mean a million things each depending on what case.

Yeah, growing up in a bilingual home probably helped me the most. To this day we're not allowed to speak English at home, it's Spanish only unless there's a non-spanish speaker with us. It's easier for me to relate to romantic languages than anglo-saxon ones, even though I mostly think and speak English. Weird. But always fun, right?
