Sella Malin Not everybody who is Jewish knows Hebrew!


message 52: by Sella (new)

Sella Malin That's okay. Lots of people make those kind of mistakes. It's really funny. Once I told my friend that we celebrated a Jewish holiday the night before, and she was like, "Oh, so you're Hebrew?" And I was like, "Totally. And I speak Jewish!" It's funny how they get the two mixed up.

C'est Moi ♪ | 59 comments Oh yeah huh, Oakwar! I had a friend in 4th grade who was Chinese, and we would speak to each other in Chinese all the time. And then my two other friends who weren't Chinese started to give us these "looks" and avoid us, probably because they thought we were talking about them or something. So eventually, we had to stop -.-'

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments Yea, very true :)
same here, helen
but it happened to me in 1st grade, when my english was uber sucky
and it really isn't their fault speaking chinese, especially if they just came to america
but people still give weird looks when they speak in another language -______-

Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona) (ephona) Someone in my Math class knows Japanese really well. He kept speaking it during math and everyone wondered how he knew it. Then I started speaking Japanese and everyone was like "Wait...you know it to?"


Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona) (ephona) No. My mom went to Japan and so she speak Japanese to us every once in a while.

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments OMG, ephona

i've longed to learn japanese

Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona) (ephona) I don't know a lot. Like a few phrases and words here and there. My mom used to say ikimashone when we went places which means 'Let's go'

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments haha, i just know it from too much anime :]


message 63: by Soumya (new)

Soumya here, i learned a little bit of spanish, a little bit of french, and right now i am doing latin.

for me french was hard.

i am thinking of taking latin next year.

you need to like writing a lot in order to enjoy latin.

latin is also good to learn if you want to be a doctor.


message 64: by Soumya (last edited May 18, 2008 04:33PM) (new)

Soumya no, a lot of doctor terms are from latin, like medicines. you hear lots of medicine names, those words are from latin.

you know that spainsh, portuguese, french, some other languages are directed from latin.

sorry, i am not trying to say a bad word, but you know the word stupid, it came from the latin word stupidus.




message 65: by Wee!wawaLAA!!! (new)

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments yea, but latin is really good for those astrologists and english people, since most words come from the latin root.
right now, i'm learning spanish and chinese...gawd, chinese is seriously hard
my friend considers french to be somewhat easy
haha, stupidus
that souinds really funny XD


message 66: by Soumya (new)

Soumya that does sound kind of funny, oh, so much writing in language.


message 67: by Wee!wawaLAA!!! (new)

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments i know, huhh?

message 68: by Soumya (new)

Soumya true, the only thing school teaches us is either spanish, french, or latin. we almost got to learn chinese, but they took that out.

Katie | 312 comments not all of CA is. i live almost in the middle of nowhere in CA and its pretty not polluted....well i guess there is still and electricity plant right next to us. its actually on the street exactly across from the beach. but LA is sooooo polluted i go there for dance competitions all the time and its like pukey gross. all those nuclear power plants and stuff.


message 83: by Wee!wawaLAA!!! (new)

Wee!wawaLAA!!! (kawala) | 139 comments yea, LA is most definetely polluted
so is my area, cause like you can't go ANYWHERE without a car, and taking a bus wastes time, since a bus only comes like once an hour
well, plants can be dangerous, so be careful :)
i wonder if the human species will ever become mutated .___. just something that popped into my mind when you put "nuclear power plant" :P
