Hey guys Thanksgiving break just started for me I'm so happy!!!!!!!! Make sure you follow me I need 3 more followers to get to 40!!! I will make sure to follow you back when you follow me. God bless y'all!

Does anyone want to have another follower? (By the way, i_love_god, I'm following you now.)

Hi! I was Dogo Sweet and I did not usually chat but I changed my name and now I have some time to chat!

Well hello! I'm going to check if I'm following you and if I'm not I will~ <3

Quiz timeeee: 1. What accent do you have? (i.e. foreign language accent, Australian, English/British, Irish/Scottish, American) 2. If you could be fluent in two languages you're learning (if you're learning one, choose another you'd be willing to learn, if you're not learning any, just choose two you'd otherwise be willing to learn), which one would you choose, and why? 3. What's something told you that came from another person, that's surprised you or made you chuckle? 4. If you could fast forward to any age, considering you didn't have any financial/career/mental problems, at that age, what would it be? 5. In your DNA, what heritage do you like the most out of all of them? MY ANSWERS: 1. American 2. I'm learning French, but I'd be willing to learn Korean, so I'd pick Korean, because it would be harder for me to learn, and I'm already doing well in French (I'm a few months away from finishing A1, is what I would estimate, considering the pace I'm being able to memorize *I couldn't memorize until I wrote in depth notes, that are more lessons because they're so in depth*) 3. One of my best friends told me that one of her friends said my face looks goth, but she denied it. I don't wear goth makeup, it's just my resting face, and she normally sees it backstage during rehearsals for drama. 4. I would say 20-25 5. Irish (no, I don't have red hair! But I have freckles...)

Yaeyy, thanks! 1. American, but I’ve had people tell me I sound English :p 2. I’m learning to read Spanish, and I think mandarin would be fun too! Hmm, not sure, but today this boy in my class said that he went to Antarctica and was so persistent until he realized he actually meant Australia 🤨 4. Hrngg, maybe like 18? I’d be nice to be done with school (minus college) and it’d just be interesting! Sooo this kinda doesn’t answer the question and isn’t really heritage but something interesting is that I’m actually mainly welsh and a little bit (like 15-20%) Korean! This super suprising for people because I look super Irish (red hair, freckles, blueish green eyes) but I’m actually not Irish at all! Anyhow, probably Korean loll.

Wow, that's pretty cool! Yeah, you look more Irish than I do, and I'm part Irish, lol. I only have freckles...

1. Taiwanese! Although I'm trying to develop the Texan accent 2. I really want to learn Spanish! It sounds so cool, and a lot of people use Spanish 3. Hmm... so far no one has said much about me yet...although a lot of people assume I'm really quiet and gentle, but that's me at school-I'm quite the opposite at home! 🤣4. Maybe 20! 5. I only have my Taiwanese heritage 😁

Sorry, I mean Mandarin-I do know some Taiwanese, but not much!

Oh that's alright! I love the Asian languages, and I have an interest in learning Korean one day, when I'm an adult and I've finished learning French, but I am so scared of butchering the pronunciation

I like those answers! I am combined with a lot of different heritages, the ones I can remember are English, French, Irish, German, German from Russia (which is just German, since they didn't ever 'combine'), and Norwegian (I might have more, but I forget right now). But I absolutely LOVE Thai food. My favorite cuisines are Asian and Indian by far <3

That sure is a lot of different heritages! Sometimes I imagine what I look like if I had more than just one

I actually do have more, and my mom told me, but I'm forgetting again, oopsiesss. And I haven't done that, but that would be interesting to do

These are such good questions! 1. I have an American accent, but I sometimes have bits of an Indian accent that comes every now and then, I think mainly because my dad's Indian. 2. I would want to learn Urdu, which is a language that was "derived" from Persian, also because it is my mother tongue. I used to take classes when I was little and I can understand it a bit, but I didn't learn much mainly because it was virtual and I usually would excuse myself during class time and get help from my parents :D. Learning Mandarin Chinese also seems like a good option too . 3. Some of my friends told me that I have the personality of Rainbow Dash in "My Little Pony". I don't even watch My Little Pony! I don't even know who she is, but if she act like me, she's probably pretty cool :) 4. I would want to go back to when I was born, so I can redo do my life and fix all the mistakes! I would also want to know what it would be like in the future... 5. Probably my South Indian heritage.

Hi! 1. American 2. I know English and I'm learning Spanish but I would still stick with English but Spanish is pretty! 3. Two of my friends said I was like a Dr. Pepper: bubbly and sweet 4. 23 or 24 for sure! 5. I actually don't really know my heritage...thanks for the quiz, it was fun!

Of course! Dr. Pepper is funny, but thank you for the short story! I would probably skip to around that age (like in my answer), if I had enough money to buy a motorcycle realistically. Thank you for answering! <3
