foreign languages are definitely cool.
foreign languages are definitely cool.
but when you have too many of them floating around in your head, it can get to be a little challenging to think, let alone speak.
i'm fluent in korean and english. i took french in high school (which is only enough to confuse me). and a semester of spanish in college (learned more here than high school, but isn't that generally the case?).
and for whatever reason, my brian is getting all jumbled. i'm thinking in these weird sentences that have a mix of french, spanish and english. korean words seem to be at rest because i don't really use korean when i'm up here. but when i'm using korean, i hear spanish and french.
you know... like... juego con mi lapin maintenant.
or como estas aujourd'hui?
and with korean and english.... i frequently don't remember which language i heard things in. obviously, if it's someone that doesn't know squat about korean, there is no question. but for other people....
and my own thoughts. i don't see words. i see ideas.
is it any wonder i sit there and make up my own words to get my meaning across? or refer to limitless number of things as a "thingy"?

Yeah, someone else like me! I think this will greatly facilitate our communication. I feel like all the words jumble around quite a bit in my brain too. ") S'okay.
And gees, does Jeanna read all the blogs early in the morning? How does she get to them so quickly? "p
