  1. I've always found language interesting. In recent years I've studied French, and bits and pieces of other languages.

    Even more recently, I took an interest in trying to learn Japanese  and here's what I've learned so far:

    Konnichiwa. Hajimameshite. Watashi wa Az desu. Genki desu ka?

    Hello. Nice to meet you. I am Az. How are you? 

    I also learned bits of Japanese numbers. 

    As far as Hiragana and Kanji is concerned. I know not much. 


    ....


    So forum. What language are you learning?  or if you know a second language or third, what are they? 
     
  2. I know spanish, german and english
    Am finishing learning french and am learning flemish 
     
  3. I am learning Spanish in my school. I know English :roll: but my first language is Nepali
     
  4. I'm too lazy to learn any kind of language  I only know Chinese besides English.

    你好吗?我是国祥!

    "How are you? I'm Glenn!"

    国祥 is my Chinese name 
     
  5. And Glenn is my English name 
     
  6. Oh cool! I've touched basics with German. Spanish a little. Flemish sounds interesting also. Is it harder to learn than French?
     
  7. Funny thing about Tagalog it's mostly Spanish, but I can't form a solid conversation in Spanish that is actually coherent lol
     
  8. Badboy, how do you say your name in Chinese? I can't read it. 
     
  9. I also know a bit Japanese
    All those things you said plus:
    Gommenasai- sorry
    Itadakimasu- let's eat
    Sayonara(don't know how to spell it)- goodbye
    Imouto- little sister
    Onee-chan- big sister (might also be big brother :$)
     
  10. Oh yeah! Those too. Except for the I'm hungry lol.

    Arigatou - thank you
    Nii-chan - big bro.
     
  11.  I meant "let's eat". Not "I'm hungry" 
     
  12. 国祥, in English, is pronounced something like Guo Xiang 
     
  13. Flemish is the dutch language spoken in belgium so, knowing german is being easy for me and is pretty different compared to french.
     
  14.  Guo (like go?) Xiang (Zhang?) 



    Oh. I see. I had to drop German class for AP Lit. So I didn't get far. Though, my favorite German word from class is still mittwoch 
     
  15. I have to admit. The reason I got interested in Japanese was because of a Japanese singer/actor that I think is cute...and the reason I got interested in him because I saw him in a Japanese musical. And the reason I watched the musical was because it was based of an anime I got interested in. 
     
  16. G-oooohh-wuo Xi-yang 
     
  17. I became interestes because I watch animes and I love J-music.
    I know what you're saying, they really are cuties  lol
     
  18. Glenn. 

    Tse tse for correcting my pronunciation. 
