Oh, lovely. As if we didn't have enough to deal with in the first place, now it's impossible for half of us to even communicate with each other? What are we supposed to do, wave our arms at people until they get the message? Sign language? Oh, I know, maybe we should try telepathy!

[An audible sigh of frustration.]Well. I guess I could ( Read more... )

Your English is better than mine. Young people learn so quickly.

[ English ] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 04:58:52 UTC

Well, thank you! It's true. Even when you have to re-learn things!

...Where are you from?

[ English ] adesertsong October 14 2009, 07:30:22 UTC

Re-learn?

Miṣr. But foreigners call me Egypt, so you might know my lands better by that name. (Egypt is okay.)

Yes, amnesia has a way of making you forget things sometimes.

Egypt? Another one? Just how many are there of you country people here, anyway?

Are you, like, one of Russia's citizens?

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 04:54:38 UTC

You could say that.

I mean, I don't live there anymore, but I was born there.

[Russian] findingponies October 14 2009, 22:54:32 UTC

Oh, totally? I, like, lived there for awhile too.

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 22:58:47 UTC

Did you? Well, your Russian's very good! I haven't met very many people here who've been to Russia, you know. And some people have never even heard of it!

....I....I...I speak Russian, yes.

*trembling*

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 04:50:10 UTC

Hm? Speak up, I can't quite hear you!

[Russian] maizes_laiki October 14 2009, 15:26:12 UTC

...I... I...I SPEAK! RUSSIAN!

*huff huff - he was just scared of you at first because you seem so confident and also he recognizes you as Mr. Russia's friend eeep*

H-hello. My name is Latvia.

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 22:59:42 UTC

Oh! Latvia? Are you another country?

'Least we can put being bilingual to some use, huh? I know some other languages here and there... except Russian, though. The German was a little, uh...

[English] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 04:49:05 UTC

Look, I can't help it if it's a little rusty, okay? I haven't spoken it in years. Not to mention, you know, a bout of amnesia in the middle.

[English] bukapintu October 14 2009, 04:53:43 UTC

He-Hey, easy. Bout of amnesia? For real?

[English] like_a_romanov October 14 2009, 04:57:26 UTC

What, was my perfectly reasonable defense of my awful German too much for you? Yes, for real. Ten years, in fact!

Yes! Hello!

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 16 2009, 03:51:35 UTC

Hello! There's more of you than I expected!

[Russian] paper_cutting October 16 2009, 21:45:57 UTC

That's good news! It seems as if many people are having communication difficulties, so I imagine it's comforting to find someone who speaks a given language! Though I speak quite a few...admittedly, not all are formal schooling and are self-taught, as I learned them from reading and so my pronunciation may be rather lacking.

Oh...pardon me for rambling on, I tend to do that sometimes.

[Russian] like_a_romanov October 18 2009, 06:03:19 UTC

I can understand you fine, don't worry. It's not like I'm the best at everything I speak either. As long as it's possible to communicate, that's what matters, right?
