  1. I have always admired the British accent. I think that among the other accents, British is the one that sounds the most formal, classy, and beautiful. There are accents that sound as if the person is always angry, or lazy, and that is not good to listen to -- but the British accent sounds perfect, in my opinion.
  2. I was working at a music store before that also offers music lessons, and most of our customers are half-chinese. I'm not a Chinese citizen but for some reasons, I look like one (maybe because of my monolid eyes). Anyway, it happened once that a parent came up to me and talked to me in straight chinese, and then she smiled. Of course, I didn't know what to say! I was quiet for a while and then I politely said, "I'm sorry?" She did not respond. Later on, I learned that she can't understand English. That was humiliating.
  3. I agree, I think that foreign language should be taught in primary schools. Learning a new language instills discipline and of course, will provide more opportunities to the student as he grows older.
  4. Hi everyone! I am pleased and excited to be part of this community. I'm not studying any foreign language yet but I'm thinking of doing so. I am interested in learning the Japanese language since I got hooked into it by watching Animes and JDramas (hi there, anime fans!). I'm looking forward to learning things from this site as well as meeting new friends!
