Are you learning Japanese in a university setting? Or are you learning it via a website? I'm learning it through Rosetta, though one of my close friends at uni is helping me (she's Japanese).

Very cool! ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) If you don't mind my asking, do you speak Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese? I'm curious because my professor is from Minas Gerais. ^_^

I speak Engineer. I know, it's not a very well known language, but the terminology is very, very diverse and the language is extremely technical.
Saying I need a general processor when I mean DSP will often be a declaration of hostilities, usually solved only by the shedding of blood.
Also, I speak enough German to hold a conversation with my friend, swear, order food, ask for the bathroom and mumble soulfully when depressed.

I can "read" Hebrew (which means I can sound out the words but I don't know what all of them are - working on that...I went to such a shitty sunday school). I know a smattering of Gaelic and Yiddish. I took three years of French, a year of Latin, and two of Spanish.
But mostly, like Bruce Willis, I only know two languages: English and Bad English!
Also, I'm thoroughly well versed in the language of sarcasm, which seems to be dying in many places...

Oh,I forgot Strine,in which I'm fluent
Quote:Strine is a term coined in 1964[1] and subsequently used to describe a joke or made-up "language" purportedly spoken by Australians whose accents frequently run words together in a type of liaison. The term is a syncope, derived from a shortened phonetic rendition of the pronunciation of the word "Australian" in an exaggerated Broad Australian accent.[2]
Some examples
Quote: * Strine
o "Spewffle climber treely" - It's a beautiful climate, really
o "Emma chisit" - How much is it ?
o "Egg nishner" - air-conditioner
* Fraffly
o "Egg wetter gree" - I quite agree
o "Gray chooma" - Great humour

I speak naturally European Portuguese, but I can easily speak Brazilian Portuguese, the different is just the accent really. Its pretty much like the differences between European English to American English.
