I was looking at the signatures in my yearbook earlier today trying to find one of my friends' phone numbers. and I came across a signature that I had forgotten about. It was by my kind of sort of friend( we don't talk that much because we really can't) Denari. And I realized she wrote it in Spanish I understood a few word like " que' "("what", I believe it is) " feliz "("happy") and "familia"("family") but other than that I had no idea what it said. and I felt very sad because I felt just so stupid I was racking my brain like "what does this word mean?"
Anyways…. the question here is : did you ever know anyone that spoke a different language and wanted to say something/write something to them but couldn't? |

Mandarin isn't all that great :P Can't you speak Cantonese? Sorry, I can't quite remember. But anyway, that's a cool language too

Their daughter (my cousin) can speak Shanghai, Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Little bugger. But I guess it's because her grandparents speak Mandarin and she sees them all the time.. Anyways. I only know how to say a couple things in Mandarin.. and I can understand VERY VERY VERY little. VERY. Like.. "Aiyah ni pong dao wo luh !" .. "Bee drei !" .. "Bun dan !" .. "Ni su wo da pong yo." Haha. |
