Expanding vocabulaty

[okami_hu]

I love my fandom, I learn languages in it. I've dwelled into French, as a far as expressions/full sentences go before - I should dig up the list I've written up... - and I know a fair bit of German and also English, of course... Even some words in Japanese.

But the latest addition is Italian.

I have a friend who speaks Italian.

This won't be pretty. >3

List Of Simple Shit I Could Never Remember:

l'uomo = man
la donna = woman
la bambina = girl
il bambino = boy

I AM A LANGUAGE FAGGOT TOO (and my Mom speaks Italian, tried to teach me, epic fail resulted D:)

'Il bambino' might even come handy since we have Scout; but the first thing I got stuck with was 'don't stop'. Yay, sex talk. Thankfully, we have translator comms, and I have that aforementioned friend; I'll manage somehow.

Damn your fruity Italian head, Prohibition Spy. XD

FRUITY SPY IS OH SO FRUITY, TUITY FRUITY OH YEAH XD

If you ever need help on Japanese, maybe I could help you. =D You know, if you want to know more than just the "arigatou" and "oniichan" etc.

Btw... *raises hand* Language freak too. You wouldn't believe the number of dictionaries standing on my shelf. They even include a set of Hungarian-Dutch-Hungarian books and Gaelic-English-Gaelic... Oh, and Chinese-English-Chinese, Russian-English-Russian, Greek-English-Greek and Latin-English-Latin. And if I can get my hands on an Oxford Mini-Dictionary Swedish-English-Swedish OR Norwegian-English-Norwegian, it's mine!

But one of the reason I want to continue studying after Japanese is so I can learn Gaelic as well...

Latin. You can use it too, or it's just a dictionary? Sometimes Latin comes up, for spells, mottos... (And well-learned translators are good to have around. ^^)

And, I'm not really learning it... XD No time, no ambition, it's just, I love to toss in a few words into a fic when the char speaks some existing language. ^^

Russian is actually nice, too, but Mom speaks it as a second mother tongue. Though, I suppose she'd get a heart attack if I asked her how do you say 'I'm coming!' in Russian.

For Latin: just the dictionary, I'm afraid. Though I wouldn't mind learning the language. My cousin has it now at high school, so maybe I'll poke her for some basic instructions. ^^ (My high school didn't teach it, otherwise you can bet on it that I would've taken it. XD)

I do want to learn Russian, Greek, Latin and Gaelic, though. Chinese... maybe. After I spent five months with Chinese girls, the language has become somewhat less attractive to me, though I still have some love for it from Firefly/Serenity. Don't watch it if you want to add another language to your own growing list of languages. XD; Just as a warning. (It'd be great for cursing, though. =D)

I'm not quite sure if I know how to say "I'm coming!" in Japanese, though. Other than the much more innocent version. That's the one drawback of learning business Japanese. Chances that you will use that one sentence in a business conversation is pretty slim. XD
