Hi inlovekm. All the languages you speak are really different from one another. It is impressive you can speak so many. If you have any questions feel free to send me a private message. If you like reading the manga, do be sure to head to the manga spoilers board for everyone's theories on the latest case.

Since you "speak perfect cantonese, german and arabic" I would have expected your English to be a real disaster, but oddly enough it's real understandable.  Welcome!  :D

Here's a question I'll throw at you (and the other Cantonese speakers that I sense are lurking about the forum):
Is there a Cantonese way to pronounce all the words that are, for example, in a Chinese newspaper?  Or do you "read" it in Mandarin?   :|

If you are just refering to Chinese, I can safely say that there IS a Cantonese way to pronounce all the Chinese words out there, if that's what you are asking. (I comfirmed this with my Grandmother who is a Cantonese, so I'm pretty sure it's not wrong.)

Tell me if I misunderstood your message :(.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was asking...  Although I'm going to go a bit further, and ask if she actually reads the newspaper in Cantonese, or does she do so in Mandarin (by "read" I mean when she sounds it out in her head, I guess)?  I am under the impression that it doesn't ... quite flow ... as well in Cantonese... since it's not written the way a Cantonese person normally speaks.

Hi =) feel free to browse the off-topic, it is a bit crazy, but that's what makes it fun. I would especially recommend mafia and the onionhead fanclub.

ImageSee you later!

I'm amazed when I find people who can learn languages well, mostly because I can't :-\

But enjoy your time here! Don't take the jokes and insults too seriously when discussing.
