Languages :)

By now it should be safe to assume that you guys have realized that I am an international person. Where I currently am (which is frankly none of your concern) is even more international than I am. Its really quite an interesting place. I walk through the store, which is English speaking for the most part, and I listen. I hear so many things. I hear various Afrikaan dialects, Spanish, French, German, Korean, Italian, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, Turkish, and one of my favorites, Romanian. They are so, for lack of better terminology, cool to listen to. Each has its own personality. They might sound similar to another, but they are just like a category of person. These are purely my opinion, but here goes.
Russian sounds so angry and powerful.

Afrikaans is free and happy.

Korean is tiny and rushed, oh so rushed.

Italian is fat, jolly, and full.

Spanish is dramatic, yet bright and colorful.

French is dark and mysterious.

German is rough and coarse, yet dignified.

Swedish is meek and jerky. (like stop and start stop and start, not like the person)

Japanese is light and airy.

Turkish is warm, homey, and sweet.

Romanian, its special to me, so it sounds regal and like ancient power.

After I sat and thought about this, I figured I should try and describe what English sounds like, but I can't. I just can't come up with a description that I like for English. English is my home language, so its so familiar I can't describe it beyond that, familiar and warm. When I start speaking German, it feels different on my tongue than English does. When I speak Spanish, it feels different on my tongue than English. When I speak Italian, it feels different on my tongue than when I speak English. Heck, Hindi feels different than English. And I've been hearing Hindi all my life as well.

Now on to recent events. More packing for my trip coming up. I've got a big duffle bag sitting along my bookcase taking up all the dang room on my floor because I've gotta get this stuff together and keep it together. Well at least it will be worth it in time.

I'm gonna finish this up and go to bed soon. Alright, this lesson, lists do help, no matter how nerdy they seem. They are a tool, nothing more. You don't think that you're to cool to use a screwdriver, right? So why be too cool to use a list?
