i hate when people say they can speak a language

[cIementine]

shes just being tsundererere shell warm up eventually

he sounds like he needs a bra to contain his weaboobies bc theyre flapping all over the place y/k

hopefully hell get out of that phase soon and look back on his behavior with shame

This guy goes on about how people bully him for his interests and I'm just like 'why don't you shut the hell up about them then that might help'. People in my school don't really like Japan and anime etc. I like it but I don't tell people that.
He told me that his sister tried to kill him and he stabbed his lower leg with a Katana sword.
I asked him about his sister trying to murder him and he was like 'what??' and then last time I saw him in shorts I saw no scar from his stab.

I'M DYING OMG BRBRBRBRBRB

He won't be thinking he's kawaii no more

well I like it a lot too, but theres a big difference between being an otaku weeb and liking anime

ohhhh my goood why would he stab himself with a katana???? i bet he saw some **** like that in an anime, i know for a fact theres several animes with killer sisters

also why is the go-to japanese weapon a katana there are much cooler weapons

hes either the most delusional weeb or a bad troll lmfao

He literally spills his deepest secrets to the meanest kids in school it's like 'no wonder you're 'bullied' you have no freaking common sense'

The kid is slightly suicidal (apparently) and has tried to kill himself 7 times? I asked him about it and again, he had no clue what I was on about.

I think he's both.

Then he goes 'BAKA BAKA BAKA' to everyone who says things to him and I'm like 'I'm not sure if you're trying to speak Japanese or imitate a tiki ceremony'.

... i think he's a guy who lacks self identity/confidence... it's always a bit sad to see people struggle with social interaction. no need to blame it on his weeb tendencies, but no need to excuse his shallow fetishizations either.

I hate it when people think they're so special because they know another language. -____-

It really gets on my nerves...

Agreed!

 

[fun123Joker]

i try not to shame the weeaboos and try to help them let it go. i had a weeaboo phase but insted of anime it was star trek. I started learning klingon =A=\ so i try to clam them down abit so they dont have to be so embarrassed about thier phase like i am.

i knew a boy who got in trouble for speaking Arabic (it was in a class where the teacher hated his guts)

 

[yosugay]

i don't think it's useless to learn i mean if you come from or live in any country where the primary language is a romance language then learning latin isn't a bad idea

Or if youre a lawyer

Why didn't I see this thread sooner o:.
I'm pretty passionate about linguistics and language learning, so it bothers me too when people boast about being "fluent" or speaking multiple languages :c. Some people work their butt off studying, just for a person to brag about nothing. But ah well, in the end they only talk the talk, and don't do the walk.

10/10 I bow down to your skills.

 

[spacedog]

this girl told me she was fluent in russian and i was like hell yeah mother tongue ftw im gonna SPEAK in RUSSIna with someone and she couldnt get past hello how are u and i was Like Oh... yes... i see.

 

[Dim]

Yea tell me about it. They know a few words in a different language and they show off by speaking those few words in that different language.

 

[xiaonu]

LOL I had no pun intended. Weeaboos desu make me grit my kawaii teeth.

 

[Liquid Ocelot]

kawaii desu and stuff. bento.

I honestly only 'speak' English and German- and German still takes me a while to process. Russian is new to me, but I can get the gist of what someone's talking about- but I would never say I was 'fluent' in something that I have no understanding of or took one class in.

Language is serious business.

 

[Lassy]

Exactly.
There's this girl who lived like 4 years in China and she said she knows how to speak Mandarin. I spoke to her a very simple sentence, she didn't get a thing. And then she keeps showing off in front of other people :9
People who show off are usually the ones that don't know how to speak the language. I never brag about knowing how to speak 3 languages (and a 4rth with simple language) nor do my other friends who speak several languages.

I tend not to say anything because someone's always like "SAY SOMETHING IN _____" and that kind of embarrasses me.

...I learn the languages I like mainly to read in them.

Also how do you spend 4 years in China and not get ANYTHING? Not even a "ni hao".

I hate it when people say, "Say something in that language" b/c I always feel like I'm going to be put on the spot. The fun part is if they don't speak the language. You can basically say anything at that point.

Geez, 4 years and didn't improve? Dang :c. And I also hate when people are like "how do you say blah blah in this language?" out of the blue.
