It should roughly translate to: The differently coulored tissues indicate that you will soon need a new box. |

Latin: Agricolas specto. = I look at farmers. Japanese: Kore wa watashino no hon desu. = This is my book (too lazy to use actual symbols). I think that I can also add my mothers tongue, Finnish, as it is quite unfamiliar to you: Hyvää joulua! = Merry Christmas! I'm studying all these languages at the same time and I somehow only rarely mess up with words. I more often mix Latin alphabets and Cyrillic alphabets (so for example I write H instead of N). |

Et je suis tres sur que j'ai fait beaucoup des fauts dans ces phrases ici, mais ce n'est rien. I have no idea how to put all the accents in on my keyboard, so excuse their lack, also excuse my lack of skill in structuring and writing sentences. I'm just a student. Translation (hopefully): I'm a student of french, but I'm not very good at it. Eh (needs no translation)... I never have interesting things to say. And I'm very sure that I've made many errors in these phrases here, but it's nothing (don't care, I don't have all day to sit here laboriously crafting sentences.) This is a great topic idea, though. |

Demo is used only at the beginning of the sentence. If you're looking for a "but" in the middle of the sentence, use "kedo" or "ga". :] It should be written as follows: |

I really hope that says 'I speak a little French but not very well. I can understand it ok but my grammer is horrible.' I took three years of French class and really enjoyed it but couldn't fit it into my schedule this year. I can feel myself falling out of practise. It's really bad. |

Isn't puta closer to prostitute than bitch? I ask because joking around in our spanish lessons we used to say our teacher ran a "puta mercado" to annoy him (quick and dirty made up spanish for prostitute market) not knowing the correct term we used other insults mainly focusing on the word Bocadilla (sandwich) but I won't go there. As for my contribution? Yassou (spelling is terrible here I think)~Greek Hello I can speak a fair amount of french and spanish but I can read it far better. Greek I only know hello and thank you as I think its rude to go to a country and not at the very least learn the basics such as please, thank you and hello.
What does Chikosho (was that romanized right?) translate as? Is it literally dammit? I can barely speak any Japanese but I can read and right hiragana and most katakana; just need to finish up on the kata then start on those infernal Kanji. えいが は なん-じ から です か? |

"Chikusho" is a curse word, literally meaning dammit. It's main use is actually more to do with being frustrated than profanity, but it's still not polite to say in public. Hehe, I remember learning examples like that from the textbook (btw, is yours Yookoso? It's probably the most common one I know of), just a bit of advice: a LOT of the stuff in the books is outdated. Here's one thing to remember for future use: To ask for the bill at a restaurant, your book will probably say either: Both mean Bill/Ticket, but if you said this in Japan people might laugh at you (because it's considered so archaic). Use おかんじょ おねがいします。 |

Are you sure you're not American?
Every one of my friends who go to foreign (non English-speaking) countries don't bother to learn the native language because "oh, they all speak English there anyway, why should I?"
So rude.
Oh and...
Mi cabesa es en fuego.
Spanish for my head is on fire. (I know its the wrong verb but its still funny.)
