Here's a list of some of the stuff I've been thinking about since I got back from Japan. They're not well written, mostly just random thoughts, so read at your own discretion ( Read more... )

as to the Chinese
usually when you can pick up a language in one vein, your mind is attuned to pick up another, SHOW OFF
(i can't learn languages)

But you could just browse through a book, and be like oh that makes sens, or be like NOOO I should never take this language for my poor GPA oMg..
or something..

LOL, Jeff. Although I've never known anybody who studied three languages academically at the same time, I don't see why you can't pull it off as long as you're willing to spend an inordinate amount of time in the lab (or not). Chinese, Japanese and Spanish are three distinct languages; mixing them up would require a conscious effort, unless you're sustaining brain damage. It's possible that you may find writing in Chinese more challenging (some people I know told me that studying Chinese first facilliated their abilities to master hiragana and katakana) unless you've practiced tons of kanji.

And offtopic, your writing has improved since I first started reading your journal. Really cool, dude.

Oh yeah, since you have an ear for music, you'll be more receptive to the tones. Perhaps you will pronounce my last name correctly, unlike the majority of English speakers!
