[even years after joining AX and needing to become at least conversationally competent in the various languages of that world, Azula still isn't convinced that it's not a waste of time-- it would be so much less complicated if everyone spoke the same language, the way she had in her original universe]

[but waste of time or not, it's still the way things are, and she still spends quite a bit of time practicing-- and it's been a long time since she's used the community for that purpose]

[She tries to say most of those...no luck. Little need to know different languages in her world. Even here, it's automatically translated.]

Uh... Huh?

Practice what again?
notmynature: (Cool)

[personal profile] notmynature 2013-11-19 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I got the English one down. Kinda.

[She tries the Spanish again.] That one sounded pretty cool.
notmynature: (Nice view)

[personal profile] notmynature 2013-11-21 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
What does it mean? [This really is kind of new stuff for Ellie.]

[personal profile] notmynature 2013-11-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? How'd that go? There's a lot of people here so should be pretty easy, I guess.

archerartemis: (Confused)

Spanish

[personal profile] archerartemis 2013-11-14 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
A little? Still learning.
archerartemis: (Heroic)

Re: Spanish

[personal profile] archerartemis 2013-11-14 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Just started a year ago, but I'm working off French, which I learned from my mom.
archerartemis: (Confident)

Re: Spanish

[personal profile] archerartemis 2013-11-14 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and my grades are pretty good so far. They probably wouldn't be if I didn't already know a language close enough to it, and even then I get confused on the difference between, say, "citron" and "limon."
archerartemis: (Eyeroll)

Re: Spanish

[personal profile] archerartemis 2013-11-15 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I still keep saying citron instead in class.

Is that Latin?

[she doesn't know it, but she can recognize it]

Oh, and isn't the first one German?

Are you practicing?

Well, the key to languages is always practice, so I'd say you're doing well.

I'm sure you'll get very far in your studies, then.
