Oh drat. Chinese test...

[TurtIe Tracks]

Well, maybe because I'm Asian, I've started learning multiple asian languages. Mainly Japanese and Chinese. I take Chinese as a class, and self study japanese. The thing is, in the end I spend a lot more time on Japanese despite the fact it's without a class or anything, because it's a lot more fun to learn.

So I had my Chinese midterm (big stuff here!) recently. I knew it'd happen one day.

I spoke Japanese by accident on the speaking part, and could only remember the vocabulary in japanese for the written part. Let's just say my grade wasn't good, at all. Let's say it'll be like a C-? oh fudge. And just barely that too.

And now I'm making myself feel better by listening to (japanese) videogame sound effects on repeat. Funny how that works. crying

I've been watching Kdramas and lately have been mixing korean words with my Japanese vocab.

>>I sometimes say speak half English, half Vietnamese too. 4laugh

haha ouch

recently I've been [casually] taking japanese, learning a couple of key phrases.
I also take Chinese through the school.
If I get tired or riled up enough, i speak chinglish and japanese/korean.

even though I don't know much japanese or korean.

It was really embarrassing when I was younger. I would mix Asian words that I thought were "English" and "commonly known Asian words (e.g. congee - I still think it's commonly known! More so than the Fujianese/minanhua term for it anyway. How would I have known that it was referred to as "porridge" in North America? It isn't sweet, NOT qualifying it as "porridge"!)

Either way, teachers and students would be confused by my words, and one teacher even marked me as "English as a second language," even though I'm perfectly fluent in English. OTL
