O.o I like languages. That is the reason, why I speak all these languages... But why it's rare?

I don't think many ppl around the world speak so many languages.....maybe in Europe but overall i think it's rare to be able to speak more than 2 languages....

I thought I could speak English as well. Apparently my students have another opinion.

That's because they're idiots.

Don't feel bad...I think I speak English quite well but apparently a lot my coworkers here think differently because half of the time they can't understand me. They say I'm the one with the accent. :headscratch:

On subject...

Japanese (used to be fluent...not so much anymore)
English and Pidgin English so common in Hawaii
Some Sioux (had some Native Sioux Indian friends once...but I lost touch with them years ago).

I don't eat fried napkins...that's for sure. :rofl:

Yeah, I'm a strange one to them...must be the fact that I'm Japanese and I eat goldfish (a joke between me and some of my coworkers - goldfish being a reference to how we Japanese supposedly like to eat "raw fish").
:rofl:

They understand American TV. I'm not sure why they have a difficult time understanding me sometimes...might be the way I phrase my sentences or the words I use or maybe I just speak too fast. I don't know.

Thank you.

Sometimes I speak lisp. :hehe: Usually when I'm excited, tho.

I can count to 10 in English, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, German, and Finnish. I can only count to 5 in French (if the French hooker wants more than 5 bucks, I guess I won't know what she's talking about :puppydog:)
