I'd like to study the origin of languages themselves. It fascinates me how things like languages change and evolve. It's wonderful! I'm a language nerd, I admit. Words excite me to no end. I think it's cool how societies mixed and mingled to evolve into what we have today.

Um, Swiss isn't a language - usually, they speak a dialect of German, or Italian or French. I wouldn't count Schwyzerdütsch as a separate language, really - but that is probably a matter of definition

My life? My shoulder is killing me (must have slept in a seriouly awkward position), and I have therefore spent a lovely afternoon watching Golden Girls and being useless

Hey, at least you didn't sleep on the floor. ...I did. Just conked out right there.

Oh, and Golden Girls??

Life's good.

How's your life?

It's almost 7pm over here, so, um, yes I am awake How's life?

Anyone up again?

I only understood the "Bueno Noche." Good night, buddy!

I can have ONE conversation in Chinese. I don't know what it means, but I can have a single conversation.
"Ni hao!" ("Hi!") is how it starts.

Lousia, I starred a question I think you should answer about Philippine short stories. Though I'm not dropping hints. I just think you should help the guy....

Haha, "Ni hao" can also be "how do you do?" My reply: Wo hao. Ni ne? (I'm fine. And you?)

I answered it. Thanks for the heads-up.

I just looked at that question, and the little back-and-forth about "DEATH" cracked me up.

I must be exhausted, because I seriously laughed hard.

I'm a tiny bit of a language nerd, myself, but more with names than words. I like finding out the true origins of names, and what they are now.

I think I would like to speak a bit of Danish too, as that makes up most of my heritage.

I have a lot of German in me, though I don't look it, I don't think. I have a lot of American Indian in me, too, and Anglo. I have no idea what I look like. I've been told that I have an "ethnic" or "exotic" appearance, though I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean. I'm not up-to-date on descriptions, I guess.

What is Swiss? It's pretty.
I want to study the languages. (Maybe as a minor degree-- I don't know how to say that in Spanish.)

No creo que el suizo es un lenguaje romance. Creo que es como el aleman. "minor degree" en espanol es "titulo menor" o "titulo secundario" ("titulo" tiene un accento sobre la "i").

I don't think Swiss is a Romance language. I think it is like German. "minor degree" in Spanish is "titulo menor" or "titulo secondario" ("titulo" has an accent over the "i").

Estoy de acuerdo. La francais y el italiano son muy bellisimas. Como dije antes, todos los lenguajes romances son bellas.

I agree. French and Italian are very beautiful. Like I said before, all of the Romance languages are beautiful.

Pobrecita, Nicholle. Creo que espanol sea una lengua muy bonita. Tambien creo que necesitamos hablar ingles si no queremos que Solveig nos grite. Estas de acuerda?

(Poor little Nicholle. I think that Spanish is a beautiful language. I also think that we need to speak in English, if we don't want Solveig to yell at us. Do you agree?)

C'est vrai, l'espagnol est assez belle; français est belle aussi. Tu es d'accord?

Non, Solveig ne criera pas! Elle parle français, allemand, et anglais, oui?

(It's true, Spanish is rather beautiful; French is beautiful too. Do you agree? No, Solveig will not yell. She speaks French, German, and English, yes?)

Por supuesto. Todos los lenguajes romances son bellos.

Es verdad? Ella puede hablar todos los tres? Bueno! Se parece comica si todos hablan en otro lenguaje y traduce al ingles.

Ser honesta, yo quiero aprender francais cuando yo ire al universidad.

Of course. All Romance languages are beautiful.

Is it true? She can speak all three? Great! It would be funny is everybody talked in another language then translated it all to English.

To be honest, I want to learn French when I go to college.

Je pense c'est vrai! Elle est assez intelligente.

Tu veux parles français, Zara? Bien! C'est une langue difficile, mais c'est très amusante! Je prendrai cinq ans de français pendant lycée.

--

I think it's true! She is rather intelligent.

You want to speak French, Zara? Good! It is a difficult language, but it is very fun. I'm taking five years of French during high school.

Yo se que no hablas espanol, pero son los dos mas o menos similares? Porque los dos son lenguajes romances?

---

I know you don't speak Spanish, but aren't the two more or less similar? Because both are Romance languages?

Ils sont similaire, oui. Enfin, je ne peux pas lis espagnol et parle espagnol. Quand je lis dans espagnol, je reconnais un mot similaire à français, pourtant.

--

They are similar, yes. Still, I can not read Spanish or speak Spanish. When I read in Spanish, I recognize words similar to French, though.

La misma aqui. No comprende nada el francais, pero conozco a los cognates. Espero que me ayuden en el futuro.

--

Same here. I don't understand French at all, but I recognize the cognates. I hope it will help me in the future.

Oui, il sera, Zara.

L'anglais cognates aideront aussi!

---

Yes, it will, Zara.

The English cognates will help, too!

Yes, they're romantic languages. I didn't understand how French is a romantic language, because the Franks were Germanic. But now I understand that the Franks were in the Holy Roman Empire.

(Forgive me if that Spanish is rather broken. I speak enough for a two-year-old.)

Ah, Kelsey. Hablas muy bien. Tienes confidencia. La unica manera de improvir tu abilidad de comprender cada lengua es de hablarlo. Necesitas practicarlo, y hablas muy bien.

Ah, Kelsey. You speak quite well. Have confidence. The only way to improve your ability of understanding any language is to speak it. You need to practice it, and you're speaking quite nicely.

C'est vrai.
