@Misogi: i did get the same phrase (réconfort dans la solitude) from both babelfish and google translate... i guess years of not practicing francais (?) makes one worse than machine translators :cry: thanks man though, i was hoping for a bit more of a poetic license, but beggars can't be choosers. 8)

French (mother language), and Japanese.
I'm supposed to know how to talk German as well since I learned it for 5 years at school, but it has been so long since I last used it that I don't even remember how to make a simple sentence, so this definitely don't count as a spoken language. Never learned any other language than those.

Feel free to drop by in the French section, we couldn't guess that.

I swear I tried to do that several times. But I couldn't find a thread where I had something to say there so I have yet to post a single time despite several tries :lol: . Among the LN threads already existing in the french forum, there's only Suzumiya and Toradora that I've read, so this doesn't help either. ^^"

Well, for discussions about anything and nothing, anime/manga/LN-related or not, this general topic is the most suited.

That will be from how much you have learned in this 8 months, I have less than eight months, I have only six, but I am already translating from Japanese since 2 or 3 months ago(If you want to know exactly look at the first update of Mayo Chiki! and give more 10-15 days) :roll:

Well I'm lacking way too much kanji to be able to translate Japanese effectively. :x
