but not in the sense of speaking the whole sentence in that one language.

This is known by Anime kids who use one to two words of Japanese to be "cool"
ie, That shirt is so Kawaiii!!!!



..
well I found one who does this... but with Spanish.
Trust me its jsut as bad as the Japanese.. if not worse :|

Also i met the ugliest misshappened man in my life. I feel bad for him.

going foriegn to English is sort of unavoidable since some languages do not have words that translate from English to their foriegn language. IE CD in French is still le CD.


but to do the opposite.
English mainly and one or two foriegn language words is just silly.

Yesh, i have noticed that. Also, i can hardly speak my native language without the crappy censor in PSU going off blocking words in a normal conversation. :S

The thing about those Otaku kids who say "Kawaii" probably pronounce it incorrectly and are actually saying "Scary" instead of "Cute"

Also calling someone Baka just sounds stupid since some of them probably don't even know what the word means thus causing you to look like the aforementioned "Baka"

Now actually speaking 2+ languages fluently and transitioning between them flawlessly that is awesome.

some words have ingrained themselves in as loanwords, but sprinkling your words with random foreign ones can be rather irritating, especially when done without good reason, such as the classic "kawaii", "cute" is a much shorter word, and sounds less maggoty. We have too many loanwords already, don't be throwing in random shit we don't need. ;[

It was like.

He was talking about when grocery stores close.

Giant closes at 12 (in spanish)
Shoppers closes at 10 (in spanish)
yes the number.

And just sprinkling in spanish in his convo was just ugh.
He was loud as fuck too. That doesnt help his cause

numbers are difficult to remember in foreign languages sometimes, perhaps his english isn't so good? That's a little bit different.

He said other things too. Like work.

I've been known to speak Japanol (Japanese + Espanol) from time to time.

Y'know, because I just cross my wires and all from foreign language classes. I don't do it on purpose, that's just uncalled for, lol.
