Countries and languages

Lilymayhem - I know a little french, most of which I learned from Madeline. xD I don't think I can speak full sentences, and I can't write it to save my life, but I know a few phrases.

Arkillian - I must be an UBER nerd then, because I've always known where New Zealand is.

Oi, there's so many languages I wanna learn.  So, if you can't teach me (which is understandable, because I'm not an easy person to teach from what I've gathered. ) But you can reccommend some good websites to gimme a hand (or computer software, books, books on tape, anything. ) PM me pleeaase? I found a really good site on learning to speak Gaelic, if anyone's interested in that.  I probably should be going through it right now, buuuttt... >>;; I'm aiming to learn as many languages as possible.  Whoo!  My first step, I s'pose, will be Gaelic, which from what I've gathered is one of the hardest languages to learn.  Wish me luck.

Dollmaker- If you know one for learning Latin, then I'm all for it. My story's world (Dragon Twins- the world being Phauroraland) is all written in Latin cause the god was origanally a Greek Philosopher at the time of the Roman empire. He got a litle *too* insightfull and lost his mortal body when he unlocked the door to the god's relm in his mind. They then turned him into a god to see what he'd do.

Boy was HE an interesting god ^^

Anyways- all magic is in Latin in that world, and all titles in the world are Latin based- like Drakobitus (Dragon + death litterally translated). Luckily, even though all Phaurorans speak Latin, they don't realise it cause there's a language translator that makes everyone speek the same lanuage

Helps me when I introduce characters that can't speak Latin into the world too ^^;

Oh yeah, "all the way form the far country china, and we borned you here in America, just so you can get b+!  This is unacceptable!!  AAHH!!" Sorry, I just had to do that   (For Vegspicer)  I'm from Victoria Grove, aka USA, but I love Victoria Grove, and I want to move there so bad.  Me speke the English.  Yup, so if you're wondering if the reason why my grammar is atrocious is because I'm from a different country, no, it's just because I type so fast, I don't see what I write.

I live in New Jersey, in the usa, I speak english('tis my native language) amd taught myself to speak a little bit of japanese, Kon'nichiwa, I'm sure most people know what that means, hello.

Know what neko is?
Sushi?
Sensei?
Baka?

They're all Japanese words
if you know them then you know more than the average ignorant English speeking person :nods:

Well, from what I've heard, nekos are cats, am I wrong, and the complete opposite is inu or dog, yes? Sushi, isa food that has raw fish or vegetabls with rice rolled in seaweed, yes?

Neko is cat- correct
Inu is dog- correct
Sushi is raw fish... so close

The other two (incase you want to know)
Sensai= teacher
Baka= idiot

There's a few others like-
Nani- what? (approximatly)
Tenchi- Angel
Sakura= Cherry blossom

...

I could go on. Those are common in manga though

Oh,yeah I know the tenchi word from the one japanese DBZ song ,we were angels, and I think I might have heard nani before...
