Pretty good. Nice link too.
I still remember how to count to 10 however, I forgot a lot of Hawaiian words and phrases that I learned when I was a kid.
Not as if it's important or anything.. :beaten:

I also forgot how to count to 10 in Mandarin and French. And I took these language classes throughout elementary school. Weird that I would remember Hawaiian over the mentioned two languages above.

French: Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix
Spanish: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez
Italian: uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove, dieci
Mandarin: :dotdotdot:
Roman: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IV, X :bonk:

Wow, very good. Did you study that language too?

Also means "bye".
Used only in Hawaii, yes.

Perhaps this topic would be better suited in the Learn Japanese forum...

Moving.

Well, I took a one semester intensive Mandarin course (that and my partner is from Taiwan :beaten: ), so I can count to ten, if nothing else.

Hmmm... Now, where does this thread REALLY belong?

Very good.
I took this language course in elementary school for 3 years and I forgot. Perhaps because it wasn't an elective? :hehe:
We also had Hawaiian, French and Japanese mini courses during elementary school. :beaten:

Uh, ..... NO.
Sorry, guy. This is a "Learn Japanese" forum, not a Hawaiian language one.

Which is where I come in.

Moving to General.

A- always being there
L- love those you care for and those u dont
O-own up to what you do in life
H-have fun and dont worry about a thing
A-anythin is possible with aloha in your heart

Is that a saying in Hawaii?

eh? :headscratch: Sorry I am just curious and no offence, but since you are a Chinese (I assume you are one :fingerscrossed:), how come you don't learn your mother tongue?

Yeap you are right. There's the hanyu pinyin too. :hehe:

Sorry to burst your bubble.
I'm not Chinese and definately wasn't born in China, and/or isn't an adopted child of parent's of Chinese desent.

Even if I were Chinese (living in America), that wouldn't mean that I could speak the language. That is a mere assumption by many that isn't true.

I'm Okinawan/Japanese. :D
