I just Pali which means Quick/Hurry. :P The script for Hangul can be learned in a few hours, but I find myself just learning random words.

I can speak Japanese to an extent from listening to too many songs and making up lyrics for english covers. And I can speak punjabi. Ha ha I suck at pronouncing it xD

I know a very limited bit of Japanese. And can speak Urdu decently. I can only read Arabic for the most part. I'm prolly going to learn Urdu and Arabic soon though, it'll make my life a lot easier. Maybe I'll pick up a bit of Japanese after that.

TBH I see more advantage in learning korean since it due to its script it is considerably faster and it also lacks some grammatical components so its easy to speak. Like "Me want cookies." "Me hungry." are valid statements in terms of grammar (I can say for sure the first one is correct in English too, just dont use it in essays).

IT's about what I want to learn for my own reasons, not because it's easier. Also, 'me want cookies' doesn't sit right with me. However, this is after I come back from boarding school, which will be years from now, so meh.

I have that problem too, I often have trouble starting a paper. And then I get stuck in the middle.

Why is it so hard to write a good story?

Shit... Thursday morning still ain't got much written dammit....
Oh lucky me a peer of mine told me that I was able to submit my previous research paper instead of making a new one, but with a slight tweak to fit the criteria given... Lucky me I found my missing old research paper.

That doesn't sound like fun or a good idea, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I did something similar to that too sometimes. I would put things off to the last moment, or get writer's block and end up having to do a lesser job :c
