JALAL: German, belive it or not I like it]

Haha oh my god =)
As a famous Swedish writer said, "German sounds as one is using the barf-bag in an airplane =)

My native language is Chinese. But I darling is a english speaker. We enjoy jp kr cn shows those with english subtitle so much, and thanks the peple who applied those wonderful shows!

I hope we have more chance to watch hkddramas, cdramas and twdramas with english subtitle. Here, I'd like to thank somebody who could release "cha shi gu xiang nong"(茶是故乡浓) and "jiu shi gu xiang chun"(酒是故乡醇)!

Languages that you know tend not to sound as good.

Japanese sounded a lot cooler to me before I understood most of it. Now, Chinese sounds really good to me, but I dunno if that'll be the same after I understand it.

Spanish might be an exception... that sounded better the more I understood it. Maybe this theory only applies to further removed languages, or ones with certain connections. KF

Studied Japanese in high school (exchange student)... studied in Japan (someone ask me where ;) for a year+ in college.

Minored in Mandarin in college, spent 6+ months in China.

Spent a semester at Yonsei in Korea.

Get most Japanese, get by in Mandarin, and get the gist of stuff in Korean (fluent if soju is involved).

Now I just have to not forget all that.

I chose Chinese since it's my mother tongue.

I've been studying Japanese for around less than a year but I can only understand bits and parts of shows ^^;; Sometimes, it gets really frustrating...

I can understand Singlish too...how i hoped that we can use singlish in school presentations lol xD

I can understand some Hokkien and Cantonese too, since they're dialects of my father and mother lol...

Hmm..what else..oh, English...duhhh xD
