Which language is your favorite and why?
I can speak 6 languages, which are Tagalog,
English, Bisaya, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
My first languages would be both Tagalog and
English.
I had a strict upbringing all I could say that it was
traumatizing but I learned Tagalog and English in
a very harsh way.
Using my first languages I could both make
English and Tagalog stories, sing both English and
Tagalog songs, read in both languages, I could
also communicate easily in both languages.
My second languages would be Bisaya, Japanese,
Korean and Spanish.
I learned Bisaya through my schoolmates in
kindergarten, I learned Japanese by knowing the
basics in anime’s that I watch, Korean would be
something I learned easily due to drama’s and
songs, lastly would be Spanish I learned it
through my lover who is haft Californian and haft
Spanish.
In Bisaya I could easily converse with the locals
here, I use Japanese language as a tool to do
voice acting, Korean for singing along with
Spanish and Japanese.
Its strengths would be being able to connect with
other people in different countries, learn with
them and be able to interpret what they are
trying to say.
Its weaknesses would be when I’m stressed all
the words in different languages would be
jumbled up in my head and it’s a bit annoying
cause it happens a lot, another would be replying
in a language not the same to who I am
conversing with.
My favorite would be Japanese since I do voice
acting it’s a way of me to relieve stress but to be
honest I like both Japanese and English due to
the fact that English makes conversing with other
people easy.
