I can only recognize Hirigana.

 

 

Don't even know what that is.

[Fox 5,329]

 Don't even know what that is.

Well I don't even know what Hangul is. So, I was hoping you know what Hirigana is since I don't even know.

 

>Assuming it's the Korean alphabet

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

I could tell that was Korean because I could guess it's from one of those Drama's that my sister is obsessed with, she watches them all the time. xD

 

I don't think I will watch them, but I have seen tidbits because my sister watches them all the time.

 

I still would not want to go to South Korea because it borders North Korea and I am afraid of that place! If I somehow crash in North Korea I know that I will end up being torchured and imprisoned for the rest of my life, and I just don't want to risk that, I love my freedom.

Is anyone here a hunter? I am just wondering. This question has been on my mind for a while, so are their any fellow hunters out there?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,679]

aww, okay.

 

Plus I tried to draw padding. It sucks like a leaf blower.

There was a propaganda video...

 

 

No, that's not the video, though it has the song that was "used" to make the propaganda video. Though to be fair, the vid above was from 2011, and the asteroid destroys DPRK. (And the world.)

No place is safe. I don't have a great skill in assuming what culture someone is. I'm quite terrible at guessing that. Especially Asian. Just not good at deciphering between people and their culture. : V

 

 

 

Lol, I'm not going to learn Korean man. I'm already focused on another language atm. <3

For language, korean is always the easiest (at least for me) to tell from the other two major symbol-scripts in Asia (히 (Ko) compared to 私 (Ja)). At least Korea has a set script with their language and not a set script along with a fuckton of other symbols/characters for different words and meanings...

I wish I knew a second language. The second language I should've learned was Tagalog, but I've taken a whack at Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Korean, though the last two was just their alphabets.

 

I really shouldn't call the Arabic alphabet an alphabet, it's an abjad, a writing system where the primary symbols are consonants. That's right, the Arabic writing system is almost all consonants. By the way, Hangul is the Korean alphabet, which has separate symbols for vowels and consonants, making it a true alphabet.

 

Though at the least, I know the Cyrillic alphabet, so you can't fool me with Russian.

 

What language you tackling?

If you're referring to the fact that the Korean writing system only consists of 24 letters, FREAKIN' YES!!!

i have no idea where to post new songs at anymore.

Yup...tried to start to learn Japanese a while back...

 

Still have most of the hiragana remembered (don't remember much from katakana) but when it came to the Kanji I was like:

 

 

Why can't they just keep it simple and just use their alphabet instead of using BOTH THEIR alphabet and the Chinese's characters >.>

[The Apple BOOM 17]

I'm here! But I'm most likely going to be leaving almost immediately to fight for the Terran Republic. I got a temporary membership in Angles of Death, and now I'm inspired to paint a pegasus skelton with this cutie mark.

There's so many languages to learn. You should choose one for yourself Ganaram! I'm sure you'd like to learn a new language. Anyone would really. It would be better if you had another person to talk in that language.

 

 

Japanese. I've just started though. I like Japanese culture, and I want to learn more about their history once I get the language down.

 

I heard Hungarian is really hard.

I could tell from their Korean alphabet, to me it looks like more circles in their alphabet.

 

Yeah. Kanji's a biiiitch.

[Quilava 1,289]

More circles ?

There are only three* symbols that have/are circles ㅇ ㅎ ㅁ*(I know it's a square but still...) guess you were just subjected to a piece of text that solely had these characters in the phrases

Not one of their consonants has a circle, most of them are just upward sticks.

You mean most Asian alphabets that use stick people?

You know I'm playing. Y u giv up Jap. wuz rong wit chu?

Same here, but I also felt that it's also really box-y, too. There are a lot of straight lines in Korean, that is, if you're not using the fancy Korean fonts...

 

Besides, Tagalog really needs to be my second language. My folks speak it, but I was never taught it...

I also took a whack with Dutch. It is REALLY weird...

Backwards 7, letter L, blocky letter C, blocky number 2, square, bookshelf, backwards lambda (Yes, I know Greek, but blame Calculus), circle, backwards lambda with a hat, backwards lambda with two hats, backwards F, capital E, weird storage box, circle with a hat, eyewash station, sideways table, left-handed eyewash station, left-handed sideways table, broken eyewash station, upside-down table, elongated T, pi, underscore, and vertical bar.

 

I had to.

I feel the same way since my origins are French, but my French is rubbish. I plan to touch it up after I conquer Japanese. I will not fail.

 

Good luck to you Ganaram if you decide to pick up Tagalog.

At least I can guess (something I'm actually quite good at) how to pronounce those words.

 

Took a look at Icelandic for a song that I like to sing (already know it in Norwegian/Swedish/Chinese/Japanese/English) and I gave up when I saw the words :|

English is EXTREMELY wild, and I'm pretty doubtful it's still the same English that I knew 10 years ago...
