Japanese, English, Engrish, Chinese, Malaysian - whatever catches your fancy. Feel free to post language questions for others, ask/give advice, provide analysis of a specific language or linguistic phenomenon - basically anything related to language! No specific rules other than the usual - just try to keep on topic as much as you can, no spamming/flaming, etc. There is no need to be too serious, but serious posts are most welcome. I hope that this becomes a lively @#%$! I added Malaysian- Mod.

Would you care to shed some more light on your insinuations? (a humm.. read that one again and it seemed a bit aggressive. Not my intention. So to set things clear, I just meant: "Dear ko-hi-botto-chan, the who and the what are the mean you say it is my confusing. The xplain LF would desire." (Engrish really helps things get through in a beri furenduri- manner)

I had had 3 years of French in high school. I had the weirdest experience on the trip: At the beginning of the visit, I was insecure and scared. By the end of the 2 weeks, I was yakking with everyone I met!

They may not like you here like that, but they will not trifle with you.

They use a Sanskrit alphabet with Chinese-style tonal variations. Example: the words for 'stop & go' are the same, but different tone. I you count to 5 (ha), always use a high tone, or you have said a naughty word.

Posts: 258 (10/13/04 17:00:08) Empathy to Swank Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Languagepal! I like that idea. I speak bits and pieces of bad German, and sad laborious Spanish. As for Japanese, I can count and introduce myself, and know a little more food vocabulary (I can't find out where the nearest hospital is, but I know the word for peach). These are not useful language skills. My major language problem is I have had Spanish teachers from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain, and the pronunciation and much of the vocabulary is different in each region. These all differ from the Mexican / American street Spanish that everyone in my neighborhood speaks, so unfortunately, I can't hold a conversation with anyone at all. I also tend to throw in a German word into the middle of the sentence when I'm speaking quickly, just to make sure nobody understands what I say. Is this a problem for anyone else, or am I just silly? The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I have an acceptable working knowledge of German and am currently studying Spanish. Every now and then a little Deutsch slips out in the middle of some comment. Happened to me all the time when I was in Europe some years back. My brain kept doing this anoying "if it's not English, it must be German" thing.

That's only the second time I've used the ezboard chat. In my browser you have to use the mouse to activate the text field, and use the mouse to click send, then click in the text field again in order to write again. It is kind of crap. -- "in a big ol' cloud of lonesome reflecting her memories"
