Oh god, were they all weeaboos? I was planning on taking Japanese next year (even though I should really improve my French instead) and I was afraid of being the only one in the room who isn't an unwashed otaku with a a Gundam t-shirt.hlysnan wrote:[flag]ja[/flag] Japanese (classmates at uni put me off, and I became tired with the way the language sounded)
IME, the part about cutesiness applies far more to Japan than Korea. Their entire culture is saturated with it, and I find it very off-putting and annoying. As for the part about smoking, I have no idea what you're talking about. If any of my Korean friends took up smoking, their parents would probably murder them within hours.Korean (I just have to walk 15 minutes to see all the reasons why I can't stand it anymore.

Will you still try to learn a dialect, and if so, which one?Sometime in the future I will probably give up on Arabic. It's just way too hard.

Jack, you should go back to Spanish. You seem like you got pretty good at it, and life as a translator between French/Spanish/Catalan would be pretty easy.
Basically the same way. I have a few Spanish-speaking friends who force me to use it once in a while, but other than that I don't really use it much except for reading stuff here. I've sort of lost interest in Latin America.I do know I can understand Spanish well enough that I could honestly include it in my language list on my profile. Just gimme a dictionary and I can make sentences too. I even have to read some Spanish statuses daily on my Facebook and sometimes I end up reading an article or two per month out of pure curiosity what's going on back in Spain.
