T-34/76’s Concerto for Forumers in A Minor, FML 1000
1st Movement (Jealousy Towards the Multilingual)
Self explanatory prompt, I’ll start it off
I’m Chinese but I can barely speak Chinese at all
I learn Spanish at school
My Hong Kong background contributes to a British accent (although most of it has faded away as I get used to American English). I still use slang terms like bobby (British version of “cop”) and bumpkin (British way of saying “dumbass from the countryside”) every once in a while. No, I can’t speak Cantonese
I learn German as a hobby
I previously started with Swedish, Russian, and Finnish, but never got around to learning them, so I picked German instead since it’s spoken in a lot of European nations and also very related to Scandinavian languages.
The only French thing I can speak is singing La Marseillaise
I don’t do Asian languages at all because I think they’re relatively boring to learn, this goes to Mandarin, Korean, Japanese (Im an anti-weeb). Although they’re very useful, I’m still a Europe fanboy even though I’m Asian by heritage.
French is my main language, I don’t really have any problem with written english but I never use it orally so I barely know how to pronounce anything.
I might want to learn Spanish since it’s a pretty common language online in US servers and stuff, but I’m really not willing to spend time for that. It’s more like what I would learn instantly if I had the choice to.
Oh also I’m still learning English at school I guess? I mean, it’s more like reviewing what we already learned each year but anyway
Want To Learn: Probably another Germanic language or Spanish. Potentially Japanese, since I have considered taking a vacation there at some point in my life, out of curiosity.
Other: I can identify the meanings of foreign words in some languages sometimes simply because I read the roots of words and compare them to whatever sounds similar in either Latin or English.
I know English, can speak an intermediate amount of Spanish, and I know a tiny, tiny bit of Korean. I also know random words in random languages and I also know some ASL. In conclusion, I’m basically Mr. Worldwide
I know
English (duh)
Chinese (ive been going to weekend schools since i was 6 - sooo a long time im still going its still as miserable as ever)
Random words in Korean, Japanese, French, Latin and German (particularly German cuz of this boy in my class who used to love swearing in german)
A summary of this? brot
