Weird Question

[xp_topaz]

Does anyone know any good online classes for languages?

If you're just wanting to learn other languages, there's a bunch of us who can teach you - Doug being the prime candidate, but there's a lot of us with one or more languages.

(I speak German, Rom, Spanish, bad French, some Russian, some Hindi and I can read Latin, for example)

If you're wanting the certificate, the Xavier Institute can help you out with online classes, and you can always get help from someone in the mansion with homework and the rest.

Mostly just for something to do, been kind of bored since I got back. I didn't want to bother anyone else with it.

[xp_daytripper]

Ah, but bothering people is exactly what you need, instead of hiding in the library. *eg*

I'm not hiding, I'm working. This place is a disaster, did anyone take care of it at all while I was gone?

[xp_daytripper]

Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to. ;)

I do know that little blonde troublemaker (as opposed to Wade's little brunette troublemaker) was poking around a lot in there and asking for you while you were gone?

Little blonde troublemaker?

Wait the one with pink streaks in her hair?

Your French is fine, it is your accent that is questionable. ;)

[xp_daytripper]

'Questionable' is such a nice way of putting it.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I speak fluent Russian, enough French to get myself in trouble, horrible German, and order-food Spanish, if any of that's useful to you.

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

I might take you up on the Russian. Haven't really decided what I want to start with yet

[x-longshot.livejournal.com]

I could tutor you in how to speak Hollywood!

Well, that or Afrikaans. However, most places I go someone always speaks English!

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm not really planning to ever put any of this to practical use. It's just something to do, mostly

[x-longshot.livejournal.com]

Oh man. There are tons of more exciting things to do! What gets your adrenaline pumping?

Although travel is pretty awesome.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I could do Japanese, Spanish, and German, if you want any of those.

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Japanese, maybe?

[x-dagger.livejournal.com]

Yes. I do. Because I am taking online classes for Languages. (my new love).

I would also ask Doug because I like to pick his brain.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I got the visual half of ASL but my fingers don't do the signing half, but if you want to pick that up and borrow me as a practice buddy, that'd be cool.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Really? So, instead of pointing her toward two people who use ASL on a daily basis you're gonna be her teacher?

Good luck with that.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Did I say teacher? I said practice buddy.

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

Duolingo?

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

My first language is Portugese, and while I do not think I would make a good teacher, if you decide to learn it I am happy to practice conversation with you.

I also know Latin, if that is any help.

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Latin's generally useful for magic - I know a bit of it from studying, probably not enough to do anything with if it suddenly makes a comeback as a language though.

I'll take you up on that offer to practice at though once I get far enough for that.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

The organisation who runs my former school is attempting to bring back Latin as a living language, so it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Whenever you like.

[x-dust.livejournal.com]

I can offer Dari, Pashto or some Arabic.

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Arabic if you have the time?

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

My real first language - the one I could actually communicate in - is ASL.

Happy to offer lessons, since I think we've got some catching up to do?

(And you can't learn it online so that's out for you.)

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Yes to sign language.

And yes to catching up as well

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

I can help also if you ever need practice. The more people here who can use ASL the better.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

Ooh, is that offer to anyone? I can kinda sign the alphabet in ASL, but it's very slow and the few words/phrases I know are not polite.
