well, if anyone sees this, i'd like to talk about languages.
what's your native language(s) / foreign languages that you learnt?

American English. Trying to learn Spanish.

accents / dialects ... ? My native accent is Texan (Texas).

what do you like hearing / speaking / seeing written / ... ? I like southern American English, British, the northern USA accents are kinda harsh to my hair (depends on the state: New Jersey is almost undecipherable to me when they talk if the accent is thick); I like the Welsh accent, Irish accent, Australian, I have a hard time w/Scottish. I like hearing most languages and accents actually, it's hard to decide.

I like seeing Asian languages written--I think they're pretty and artistic looking. I'd like to learn Chinese and Japanese but given the trouble I'm having learning Spanish, I probably won't. I desperately wanted to learn Russian when I was younger; Cyrillic looks pretty too as does Arabic (sounds harsh to me though) I regret not doing it (wish it had been an option at either college or high school) and not taking Spanish in high school for reasons.

I'm deeply envious of people who speak and read multiple languages and I'd love to be one. I can learn the reading part okay but the speaking is another matter altogether b/c of my craptastic, bitchy, malicious French teacher in high school, who viciously made fun of my pronounciation, accent, everything starting on the 2nd day of French 1 and kept it up all year. I was desperately shy back then and didn't say boo to anybody and I deeply regret not going to the administration back then to complain about her behavior to me. It's not like I didn't have proof--she bitched me out in class. Every since then, I'm afraid of speaking the language I'm trying to learn since I'm afraid of being mocked and insulted by the person I'm trying to communicate with.

But, flip side is I'm totally awesome for an ESL learner to communicate with b/c I won't and will never behave in a way that degrades, mocks, or insults, someone who is trying to learn English and needs help with the language.

my English teacher did that, too. that's why I'm not speaking English unless I really have to. or any foreign language, for that matter... when I started learning Catalan, I felt the same and I found someone to skype with (language learning tandem thing) and she kept going like "your pronunciation is so good!" but I'm not believing her because that fucking teacher has, i guess broken, me forever. :(

I'm really into American accents (all kinds of them) and I have a hard time understanding anything British. ...which is a problem because there are some British TV series that I just can't watch for that reason :(

but you have an A+ attitude regarding learners!
I really hope and wish for you that one day you will overcome your language shyness and <3
