Hiya peeps! Super quick question: What languages can y'all speak? My answer: I can speak english, german, chinese, and french! Have a fantastic rest of the day!

Girl, English is also one of my natives, but it's still so harddddd

Really?? Imo, your English is really good! Mine on the other hand is.... struggling.

Thank you!! My grandma is very proper with her grammar, so I've learned proper grammar (to the point I struggle to read improper grammar, a red flag, I know :( ), so thank you!! And yours is really good!!

English and Chinese! Wow! You're so smart to speak so many languages!!!

You're welcome! I'm planning to learn Japanese but it's so hard!

ASL (American Sign Language), English, and I'm learning both Portuguese and Spanish

Fluently English and ASL (American Sign Language). Not fluently Latin and Parisian French.

I can speak Chinese (Mandarin and I understand Cantonese, English, and a little bit of Japanese! Just curious, do you speak Mandarin chinese, Cantonese chinese, or both? Thx!

Wow, that's really cool! I speak Mandarin Chinese. And no problem!

Well, english and chinese are my mother tongue (my chinese needs significant improvement though, maybe we could practice^^), I had to learn german when I moved to Germany, and I'm taking french at school (so far, it has been a 3 year journey).

I know a bit of Hokkien too! I take Taiwanese Hokkien classes at school, although I'm really bad at it!

My mom said Hokkien is similar to Taiwanese, apparently not the same? She said she used to speak Taiwanese, mostly with my great grandmother, but said she now forgot most of it. I'd love to learn though!

Yeah, Hokkien is similar, but personally I think it's harder then Taiwanese!

I'm going to sound super dumb but I can only speak English. 🤪

Don't worry you are not the only one lol 🤣

Lol, thanks! I take Spanish next year in school so fingers crossed that goes well

Aww, thanks! I'm pretty nervous about it but I hopefully I'll be able to practice with some friends

No, not at all dumb! Everyone's different and that's totally ok!

So... I have a question for everyone. Do you like Lord Of The Rings, and if you do who is your favorite character/s? Mine are Gandalf then Aragorn.

I've heard many people talking about it but I haven't seen it yet!

I haven't read/seen it yet! I heard it was Christian related, similar to Narnia?

Yes, actually C.S. Lewis helped bring J.R.R. Tolkien to Christ. It is somewhat like Narinia but also not... In my opinion it is actually better than Narnia. In That Hideous Strength, Lewis names one of the places in Tolkien's world.

Yeah, you're right! I actually did a book report about him last year for school!

Huh, that's interesting, I never knew that

Ha I read Edward to lane and it was a great book he had a travel and it was long I recommend You read it but be ware its really sad.

i know right its so good but def will make you cry

the wild robot is so sad. I almost cryed

dream_beyond I agree with you after I have read so many books I forget what some of my favs. are about so I have to go make and reread them.

you care a lot about other people and I like that!!!!!

Aww, thank you so much! You're super kind!
