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....

Nya~ But maybe you can be really right because you have made own experiences (i hate the time in languages -.-)
In Germany its good to speak many languages if you want to study a language...

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. Head Scratch

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.

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 Puppy Dog Eyes)
