おはよう!　鳥　が　すき.
I am painfully monolingual but I've learnt some Japanese through traveling and I have a basic understanding of hiragana, which I am working to improve. I found that I was able to get through most of my stay in Japan merely by knowing the words for "thank you" and "tasty."

That’s cool! I can’t read any languages that aren’t lettered like this, but it’s really cool to see.
Also I like your pfp!

I don’t know Italian, but “merci” is indeed French.

Ah, okay good.

 

[Blue Raptor]

Oh gosh.

Um— *runs*

WHAT THE—

Let me do a bit of an introduction. I don’t actually speak fluent French by any means, but I’m learning it.

Bonjour, Je m’appelle Charlotte, tu peux aussi m'appeler Lemon. J’ai les cheveux blonds et les yeux noisette. Je suis timide et curieuse, et j’adore les animeux, surtout les chevaux, les poules, et les chiens. J’aime ecouter de la musique chrétienne contemporaine et dessiner. J’adore servir a l’eglise et aidre. Le plus important, j'adore Jésus!

Here’s a few random phrases I use regularly.

Salut! (Hi)

Au revoir (goodbye)
Non (no)
Oui (yes)
Je suis/ça va (I am…)
…sommeil/fatigue (sleepy, tired)
…têtu (stubborn)
…bien (good)
…mal (bad)
…pas mal (not bad)
Comment ça va? (How are you?)
Je m’appelle (my name is)
Comment tu t’appelles? (What’s your name?)
Je ne sais pas (I don’t know)
Bonne nuit (good night)
Merci (thanks)
Beaucoup (a lot)
Très (very)
De rien (no problem)
Et toi? (and you?)
Désolé (sorry)
Mon frére (my brother)

Oui, il est vrai! (Yes, it’s true!)
Aussi (also)
Pardon moi/excuse-moi (excuse me)
D’accord (ok)
Le chien (dog)
Le chat (cat)
Les cheveaux (horses)
Les poules (chickens)

J’aime (I like)
Tu fais (you are)
Bonheur (happiness)
Je suis très stupide (I am very stupid)
Tu as très intelligant (you are very intelligent)

Sorry, I’m half awake so that’s all I can come up with for now. I do know much more than that! But for now, mini French lesson from Lemon!

Here are two quotes I like.

“On ne saurait faire d'omelette sans casser des œufs." - François de Charette

"À vaincre sans péril, on triomphe sans gloire." - Pierre Conneille

My favorite sentence is "das is so krass," but I didn't learn it from Duo, I learned it from a streamer who speaks German, English, and Spanish.

Lemmie see if I know that in French.
Umm.. Bonjour (which I think I can say with a French accent) and Merci? (Or is that Italian?)
I know Hallo and Danke, and I know Hola and Gracias. Is 'hello' in Chinese Nee-how? Or something? I know I butchered that

You got the French. Italian is bonjourno and grazie.

Mandarin (there are two languages in China, but Mandarin is the most common) is nihao and shie shie.

You might enjoy this joke.

Descartes walks into a bar and orders a glass of wine. He finishes it, and the bartender asks, "Would you like another?"
Descarte says, "I think not," and *poof* he disappeared.

In case you're not familiar with Descarte, he's the one who said, "Je pense, donc je suis."

yall. I'm fluent in Greek (mother language), English (been learning it since I was tiny). Sort of conversational in French, although my speaking and writing skills aren't the greatest (because I'm terrible with tenses)

Ok, that made me laugh so hard!
