OMG Italian had an "interview with yourself" too on the AP test. I could've answered them decently if the recording had just slowed down haha but filler words and other intricacies are the best part. "Um" is "eh" in Italian as long as you have hand movements you can literally have a conversation by just saying "eh". Different dialects are cool too because some are so different they don't even sound like the standard language anymore. And we can't forget about swear words

Does Chinese or Spanish have special hand movements that mean something?

HAHAHA I love the way you worded that.

Oh bless. I think speaking is pretty vital bc you get to learn all the filler words, like "um" and "like" and the intricacies of each accent. We practised speaking a lot because the IB exam had a really crucial part that was an interview of myself, and also me "writing a story about" and describing a photo. Terrifying stuff. I was so nervous the week of exams that my face exploded with spots

I'm Italian by ethnicity so my dad (the Italian parent) was like YOU BETTER LEARN IT too.

Aw thank you High school was a breeze because I caught on to the rules very quickly. I can write it like nobody's business and reading is okay as long as I take my time. Even speaking it is fine but I take long pauses and speak SO SLOW that I think people wanna shoot me but my teachers didn't really speak it a lot. My AP teacher did but she spoke VERY slow. So then the AP test came and the recordings were so fast and some things you couldn't answer unless you knew what they said and I was just Then college came and speaking English docked your grade and there I was like

Okay good to know I'm not the only one who creeps through blogs and stories including yours

Yes! omg I can't believe I didn't realise I hadn't sent you a friend request LMAO I'm awful but yeah as I'm like Chinese (but not by nationality) my parents are like YOU HAVE TO LEARN IT!! I can speak it pretty well but I can't read / write, so New project!

I know that feeling! I want to get heaps better at Spanish than I am, which I think I'm at a pretty rudimentary level. omg bless you HAHAHAHA I'm like that on tests, but I think IRL I'm kind of okay. Except it's been a year so I suck. But I feel like you're really good at Italian????? Just based on my creeping on your blogs and stuff

Thanks boo!!

@ oh bear
Mandarin?! That is the coolest thing.

I wish I knew more than English and Italian, but before I learn other languages I gotta perfect Italian first. My listening skills are horrible Oddly enough, I can understand people when they speak Spanish and Latin without actually paying attention to them but once someone speaks Italian, I blank and suddenly forget everything, including English XD

Good luck on Mandarin though! That sounds really fun.

HAHAHA don't worry about it, I'm in dire need of refreshing my Spanish, and also actually learning how to read / write Mandarin. SO I'll come to you later HAHAHA

HMMM

@ oh bear
Girl I would totally teach you Italian if I could! I just really suck at teaching, let alone in a language that's not my first

Also, Day 3. Still heard nothing from him

omg TEACH ME ITALIAN INSTEAD Just kidding, I got more languages to learn before I can get to Italian. But yeah I defo agree w/ waiting for him to message first!

@ oh bear
Omg I forgot to tag you ._. tagging now, lol

He's interesting, indeed. How so? No idea xD Just is. Lol at this point I'm waiting for him to text me first. Sounds petty and middle school-ish but I'm tired of starting all the conversations and keeping them going to be honest Also don't wanna teach him Italian like he wants me too xD

The blinds are acceptable. When I have my own house I'm going to invest in blackout curtains bc I'm one of those people who has to have absolute silence / darkness to sleep

Oh wow, he seems like a very interesting person Nah gurl don't be about that life! He can totally text you back himself

@ oh bear
All the love

Light out at 9 PM?!?! Wtf how do you survive and sleep?

Lol I'm still not sure where it's going with the guy. After I said happy birthday and asked how he was all he said was, "Mowed the lawn today." I'm like "alright we exchanges 4 texts and I'm already bored. I'll text him later."

It's been 2 days I'm horrible

YOU GENIUS YOU I actually hadn't even though of that I'm in Houston at the moment now though and holy like it is 9pm here and the sky is still light af??? How??? I am not used to this and it's messing with my system HOW'S THE THING WITH THE DUDE YOU ACCIDENTALLY GHOSTED and oh I didn't mean to write that all in caps but I'm too lazy to rewrite it in not-caps. Sorry, please love me

@ oh bear
Giiiirl I feel you. I'm all about traveling but if I'm with too many people I kind of just Hopefully all goes well in NYC But when in doubt, find a pizzeria and refuse to share the food. Pizza is my go-to when aggravated with people

Ahhh, thank you!

I'm so jealous of your life right now!! I just want to laze at home all day but unfortunately "holiday" means "go out and do something every day (with people)". I'm too much of an introvert for this to not end badly.

@ oh bear
Literally my experience in every hotel. But AYYYEE! I hope you have a great time there!

It's all good here. Currently being über lazy and staying home all day instead of going out, haha

No worries! I'm good! I'm visiting NYC at the moment so I'm living in a hotel and I swear it sounds like we're on the top floor and someone is skateboarding on our ceiling How bout yourself?

@ oh bear
Aw, hello! and thank you haha.

How are you?

I always want to comment on your blogs but I never know what to say that would be useful, so. Hi. I'm El. Also, I noticed you changed your username!! I like it
