Language Meme
Snagged from daria234 :)
1. My native language. English
2. Which languages I know. Some Spanish and Japanese, definitely not fluently.
3. Which languages I am learning, or want to learn. Still working on getting my Spanish and Japanese up. I've also worked on and off on ASL, Esperanto, and Russian. I'd really like to learn German and Welsh, but honestly I want to learn ALL the languages lol
4. Does anyone in my family speak a language that I don't? Nope. My parents' Spanish is way worse than mine, and that's the only other language they know.
5. My favorite language to listen to. I love listening to people speak Japanese. I also really like the sound of Scandanavian languages and Arabic.
6. My least favorite language to listen to. Can't think of one.
7. My favorite word in my native language. Hmm not sure. Maybe queue bc it's just a funny looking word. I saw it used in a fic the other day when it should have said cue and I giggled a lot lol
8. My favorite word in my second language (if I know one). Embarazado means pregnant in Spanish, but gets confused for embarrassed, which I think is pretty funny :D Also 怖い means scary in Japanese but sounds similar to the word for cute.
9. My favorite word in a language I don't really speak. презерватив means condom in Russian. I just like the way it sounds and it was one of the first Russian words I learned lol
10. A list of my favorite words in any language. defenestration, sitar, atelier, bamboozled, 大好き... that's all I can think of
11. A song I like in a language other than English. Because I was a total weeb in hs, Lacrimosa by Kalafina, which was a closing song in Kuroshitsuji, and Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (悲しみをやさしさに) by little by little, which was an opening song in Naruto. Also I really love both songs by The HU, which is a Mongolian heavy metal/folk metal band.
12. If I could pick one language to learn automatically without having to work for it, which language would I choose? Greek! It would make my Hellenic Revivalist heart happy lol
13. Have I ever seen a whole movie in a language I don't understand? Yep. Mostly if I'm watching non-English movies I watch them in Japanese, but I was president of a foreign language club in college and we did monthly movie showings, so I saw a lot of movies in different languages.
14. A language I like, but wouldn't put the effort into learning. Chinese in any dialect. Japanese has been hard enough and Chinese is even more difficult!
15. A short introduction of myself in a language other than English: 私はリービーです、そして私の日本語はとても悪いです。
