Aside from English? :mrgreen:

Local dialects (Ilokano, Cebuano, Kapampangan, Bicolano, etc)?

Madali kayang matutunan?

I took up a basic Japanese course. When I play some games with Japanese voices, somehow I was able to understand at least some parts of what the character's are saying. :mrgreen:

Picked up a few French, Spanish, and Italian phrases too after watching Formula 1 races and videos. :lol:

I know a few Kampampangan phrases (since my Lolo was one), a few Cebuano/Bisaya words, and a handful of Batangueno slang/terms...

Other language i understand konti = Nippongo & Thai..

Pero gusto ko maging linguist talaga ever since...

I can understand some common Ilokano words and phrases, but I don't speak in Ilokano.

Japanese
Reading: Hiragana, and a handful of common words in Kanji like 今日 (kyou - today).
Vocabulary: Only the common terms and phrases that you hear in anime, games and TV shows. Those and some phrases used for complimenting and different ways of saying sorry. I can understand the general feeling/message in some conversations when watching J-drama, but I don't really know what they said word per word.
Writing: Can I just type the words instead?
Speaking: As of now, I don't think I can hold a casual conversation without resorting to using a translator app. My relatives also said that the way I speak in Japanese is too polite.
