Thanks guys
I'm actually working Saturday and Sunday so the weekend is meaningless to me, but I am off tommorrow! My boyfriend arrives to stay tonight and we're gonna go see New Year's Eve at the cinema.

What are you all up to this weekend?

Ha ha it does sound like a really bad chat up line...but honestly your phonemes must be amazing! Damn me and my measley 40 out of 144

This is why I want my children to be bilingual

How scandalous I misjudged you Willow
I'm confused, you're perfectly fine with what? Reading? That wouldn't be weird considering I said everyone should read
Unless I just misunderstood your point. Most likely that

YAY

Aha, well then, Tomorrow is definitely almost here

Aww, sounds nice. Bring back some popcorn for us.

I'm just chilling with friends and shopping and probably cinema. Been so busy with work but now that term is ending, I'll be able to catch up with everyone

I'd have no hope of teaching my kids my mother tongues. When we came to the UK I had to speak English so much that I kind of lost my ability to speak the language. I can understand it, even read it and for common things I can muster up some sentences. But I've largely lost my ability to speak + write for example, I couldn't write an essay or present in the language in the same depth as english.

But I do plan on keeping my Italian and Japanese hopefully. I have no idea how many I have How do you find out?

I don't know if they are that amazing, but I do like languages. Definitely want my kids to be multilingual. Though, I find it really annoying when people are surprised by my origins, accent, pronunciation and general English though.

Haha. I'm so sorry! I hope you aren't too disappointed with me...

What I meant was "It sounds weird to say this, but I don't care ("I'm perfectly fine with it")". Books aren't something that immediately leap into my mind when I think of things that are central to my life, but if I actually think about it, the books I've read have shaped me more than other influence I can think of - including my parents. Oh, and that's not even including the bible - that gets a category to itself.



Yay indeed. How did the nail painting go? I still want to know what makes them Christmassy

You can only find out through a lot of tests if you're multilingual to see whether you can differentiate between different phonemes. Because when you're around 1 year old (I could be wrong on age but something around then) you lose the ability to distinguish between phonemes not in your native tongue/tongues. This is why Japanese people struggle with l and r as there is no phonemic differentiation between them in Japanese

I went to a talk on linguistic profiling recently which was pretty interesting and kind of similar stuff Are you studying it at university?

Ooh I just got really excited because I went to save the first paragraph of my essay and word told me I already had a document saved as that, but when I opened it I had only written the title :'( I did find a plan that I did months ago though

I have a candy cane, glitter, santa, a christmas tree and a reindeer on one hand, and christmas lights on the other!

Just seen where you 'live' are you from Lancaster or studying there?

Aha. No rush, no rush.


Right, I need to watch last night's Masterchef before I can watch the final...which is airing now. So hopefully it goes onto iPlayer straight away. *Closes twitter and FB to avoid spoilers*

It'll probably have to wait till tomorrow as I'm getting ready for night out now...

All right for some. I have work tomorrow! AND I'm going in *earlier* than normal (6:30) so that I can leave straight after my 9:30 meeting to get to Guildford and hand in this report. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I'll have to leave at like 5:45am to get in for then! :<

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

that sucks.

From here I'm at school in Lancaster
