I said so I must be amazing. My hair isn't that blond anymore though and I think Hitler might have had an issue with how thick it is.

Believe it or not, while most Americans can't speak a foreign language with enough proficiency to converse with a native of said other language, I think you'd be horrified by the number of monolingual English speaking Americans who can't speak English well enough to articulate their thoughts to an educated English speaker from another country. Consequently, I find the lack of a quality English education in the majority of high schools to be a far more immediate problem than an overly relaxed foreign language policy.

Well, this is actually why I'm studying to become a high school English teacher. I'm part of the solution!

And I can't really get into the whole discussion about foreign languages and how immigrants speak English. I live in the Midwest, and it is culturally barren here.

Chinese is very easy.

No, it's absolutely not. It's not too hard to learn to SPEAK, because there's no conjugation and grammar is really simple, but learning to read and write is nearly impossible because it's not phonetic. If you don't know a character you can't read it; you can't "sound it out" and even if you know how to say it, you can't figure out what it means from that. There's a few patterns, but they're inconsistent and stupid. It's really a stupid language. It makes beautiful poetry and sounds nice when sung and all but in practical terms it's stupid stupid stupid. Also, Chinese people find it fucking hilarious when white people take Chinese, and also you'll hear them talking and if you have the balls to try talking in Chinese you'll quickly discover there's a difference between Mandarin and Cantonese.

I really find it easy. We just have differing opinions. I don't see what is nearly impossible with recognizing a set of lines as a word. And everyone knows there is a difference between Mandarin and Cantonese. Mandarin has 5 tones and Cantonese has 9. Some words are similar like diao and diu but some words are completely different like jyo and gao.

My whining and bitching for today: The right side of my jaw keeps locking when I open my mouth and it's a pain in the ass.

Pretty sure Mandarin has 4 tones...

Anyhow, Cantonese is written the same unless I'm mistaken, just pronounced differently.

The problem isn't recognizing a set of lines, it's remembering one out of several thousand extremely similar sets of lines.

Mandarin has 5. Rising, high, falling, falling then rising, and neutral. According to my friend from Taiwan and all the Mandarin speakers I know from Hong Kong.

I'm very annoyed that my show was hijacked by the hockey broadcast, and that I was told about it just before I went in to do my show. I could have taken a later bus from Boston today if I knew the show was no go.

On the bright side that gives me more time to finish my Latin paper, so I can go to the gym tomorrow morning.

I just got back from spending fucking 5 hours at a distant relatives house and not doing shit because no one there was my age.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I'm doing absolutely terribly at college. I can't see how I'm leading to anywhere in life and my social life has deteriorated into none existence.

I will be posting on here less but my problems kind of go beyond that.

 

[youdontknowme]

America doesn't have an official language because you're a country created by immigrants from all over the shop in europe.

I want to punch patriotic americans.

you probably want to punch white people for being white, too, right?

 

[mutantllama]
