Okay, so teaching all the kids Spanish? Probably wasn't the smartest idea I've had. On the upside, it's kind of fun watching the results and helping them with their new language, even if the only words they know are "quesadilla" and "tamales ( Read more... )

A-Ah... I am -- though I... haven't really used my first language since I came here, no...

[recorded] notaluchador March 23 2010, 23:31:40 UTC

Nothing wrong with that. If I weren't so bored, then I'd be speaking... well, whatever language I'm speaking these days instead of Spanish all the time.

[recorded] oldclock March 23 2010, 23:33:01 UTC

Y-yeah, I guess so...

[recorded] notaluchador March 23 2010, 23:38:57 UTC

Exactly. So, uh, what is your first language, anyway?

I lived in Japan, so I spoke Japanese. But... I don't know what I'm speaking now. Everyone just seems to understand each other. It's weird.

There might be some kind of universal translator here if that's the case. If this place can take our powers away, getting us to all understand each other isn't much of a stretch.

It's kind of weird to think about.

More like I've been incredibly bored these days. But I like how you said it better.

Portuguese, bro! Like fuckin Spanish plus.

Not that I even know what the hell language I'm using in this fucked-up place.

notaluchador March 23 2010, 23:34:13 UTC

Seriously? I've always wanted to learn how to speak it.

Hm, now that you mention it... I thought I was speaking English this whole time, but I guess not if people here don't know it.

French and Italian.

This did my brain in for the first week. It's not really relevant to your question, but it's worth knowing in any case.

The journal, like the island itself, has an embedded translator that will translate any language into its owners tongue. However if the owner is bilingual, or even multilingual and especially concentrating, other languages will remain in their unchanged state.

No kidding?

That actually... doesn't sound too surprising, considering what else this place is capable enough. If it can take away our powers and trap us on an enchanted island, getting us to all understand each other isn't much of a stretch.

Still, it's pretty impressive. I know people back home who'd kill to have this kind of technology.
