How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt guilty asking a close LJ friend a question that should be obvious? Here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me

LOL you subbed Harry Potter for your parents?! They actually watch HP? Wowow!

Owh and that's so cool to major in Asian studies! Seems like fun~ and I love languages too! Hehehe.. But now that i think about it, i had no 'official' background at all in learning Japanese =X I planned to take a course last summer, but they had no teacher! So yea.. wait! i remembered that the requirement for STORMY was something like must know the language well, right? LOL i think i never mentioned anything about it XD And truthfully, i think i only pass the criteria that says you must be an Arashi fan *don't kick me out please XD*

Last question was l.o.v.e! Hahhahaha!

[empire_of_shit]

welllll like I said, I never finished it xDD but yea, they watch HP when it's on TV.

LOL. well, frankly, you did have mistakes in your test, but not as much as other applicants xD I don't think I've mentioned anything about knowing Japanese, because we only decided to add that part when we got a dozen of applications from people who seriously don't know the language at all. not to mention that an ideal timer should be able to catch mistakes the translator makes. but noooo, we won't kick you outttt~ xD I actually take pride in accepting you HAHA.

Hahahaa.. *ehm i know, i read the super intimidating, scary, as@�%ff evaluation ehm* XD I was actually really surprised that i passed! Since like you, i applied during summer break and was bored.. LOL anyway, now that i think about it, thanks to you i'm in the team =D THANKS! Hugs? *hugs anyway* Hehe~

Btw, is the language above Russian..... Latvian(?) ?

[empire_of_shit]

Jeffer/Haru deleted all the previous talk the second I got accepted, so I didn't have any opportunity to read it, but maybe that's a good thing xDD AND LOL *hugs back*

Roshiago deeeesu. Whenever I write in Russian, it's definitely not in order for you guys to not understand %)) usually it's a "get something off my chest" kind of thing. and Latvian uses latin alphabet +) it's a bit crooked though haha. http://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indon%C4%93zija

[matchalie]

Hahaha o' well~ YEAAYY! to team mates now!! *cheers cheers hugs*

Owh.. LOL no worries about that~ But it's awesome how you can write in 2 languages.. 3, no 4 actually.. or more?? That Vikipēdija page is alien to me but can roughly tell what it means. And it needs to be updated! XD

[empire_of_shit]

I can definitely write and speak in Latvian, 'cause hey, it's the official language of our country xD nothing in my uni is in Russian either ;_; Annnd I can write something not-so-awesome in Japanese. and French, if I get a really good whack on the head xD

[matchalie]

Haha obviously! This is embarrassing but I can't write that well in Indonesian and don't feel comfortable doing it too =X Fail!! Oh, then how can you speak Russian?

[empire_of_shit]

I don't really know how complicated is Indonesian, but believe me, many Russian people suck at both writing and speaking. Writing is mainly difficult because there are many words where "o" reads as "a" and "e" *the e in "onee-san"* reads as "i". f.e. "milk" is written as "moloko", but pronounced as "malako" +) Speaking problems usually rise due to stresses.

If you look at my reply to Sera's comment, you'll see that practically 1/2 of the population of Riga is Russian. There are many Russian schools, it's just that all textbooks are in Latvian, sooo there's no problem in finding people whom to speak with xDD Latvia used to be part of the USSR, so there are many Russians here nowadays.

[matchalie]

It's not complicated actually, grammar-wise (German kills! xD) but because the younger generation uses too many slangs and casual language, i think no one ever speak 'proper' Indonesian anymore.

"Speaking problems usually rise due to stresses"
LOL!! But that's one hard language to read! And i thought French was hard enough... Oo.. no wonder you speak it then =) Do you learn English in school too? Or..?

[empire_of_shit]

well, not many speak proper anything these days xD

I seriously have NO IDEA how can a person learn Russian, because it's so freakin' difficult... But my French is really poor, I only studied it for like a year. I may continue next year though, we'll see.

Errr, yeah, my English lessons started in 4th grade. I'm just going to believe Kristina's words and say that my English is great, but I don't owe it to my teachers. I don't know, you could say it's my talent/too much Cartoon Network. I've never really STUDIED, but here I am, speaking like this \:D/

[matchalie]

Haha.. true!

Are you serious? WOW! Yeah, your English is great and to know that you've never really studied it.. *bow* On the other hand, my English (speaking wise) is degrading here =( Argh!

[empire_of_shit]

is it because you don't use it or because everybody makes too many mistakes?

[matchalie]

The later.. It's hard not to get affected =/ at least my accent isn't *phiuh*

[empire_of_shit]

oooh I know what you mean. It seriously sucks when you get affeceted by others' mistakes like that.

[matchalie]

Ah yeah.. Better not to say anything anymore =X
LOL that was a long 'chat'. Spamming your LJ xD haha but nice talking to you~

[empire_of_shit]

:DD same here ;]
