Weenie, you can speak Chinese. Cool. Mandarin or Cantonese?
What new language?
Can't believe I got the "kill you with my brain" reference. I've been reading you way too much, now.
Any new language. I want to learn Russian, but it looks very hard. French, Italian and Spanish are also on my list. Course maybe I should learn how to speak Irish properly first :)
And seeing as you got that reference Anne I'll have to tell you that French people are getting a Serenity showing of their very own: french gobbledegook what I don't understand about the film, but according to whedonesque it is showing on Sept. 3
I speak an old dialect of Mandarin called Hakka. I can speak Cantonese too but not fluently, probably enough to get by. Regret not learning to read or write in Chinese though. Maybe that could be a new hobby…hmmm! :)
Nihao.
Ai ya, hwai leh

That's not what the graffiti on the walls of the bogs in Beaumonde say…
