Listening to music in a different language.

I do, always have. I think I first started listening to French and Russian, then German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean mainly. Some Hindi, some Arabic, I don't really care as long as it sounds good.

My favourite artists are mostly foreign. Stromae and Shakira (only in Spanish/older albums).

Oh yes, and plenty of new girl friends :wink: With mine, sheep's and bb's advice you'll definitely be a girl magnet xD

Plz. You were totally offended
Aw, that's a shame :frown: They were really cool xD

Exactly. Even Sehun's foot is hotter than the entire world put together :wink:


Most of my friends are already girls. :tongue: Guess I must already be a girl magnet damn. :awesome: Jk, I have literally zero interests in relationships, I have the mindset of a child.

Why would I be, even if I was an ahjumma I'd probably be sexy anyway. :ahee: Never even heard of them, well I have but I've not listened to them.

No, never. :rolleyes:

Woah... The resemblance is uncanny D: They may be related in some way


I know right. :eek:

But Kris is Korean and he's Japanese, how would that be possible. :tongue: Unless they're both Korean-Japanese which they're not. :lol:

I found it really odd that a Japanese person can look like a Korean though - when I watch J-Dramas I can really tell the difference when it comes to looks.

Wow xD Have you friendzoned ALL of those girls then? :lol:
awww, little Kettie :rofl: zero interest? None at all? That's rare for a 16 yo dude xD

Sure you would :rolleyes:
You know Boys Over Flowers? The dude with the long blonde hair in that is in SS501.

Yes, always :yes: You know it's true :wink:

Maybe Kris is secretly Korean-Japanese but hid it and learnt Chinese in order to pretend that he was Korean-Chinese. We could have discovered a huge secret :O
I listen to Estopa, SKA-P, Maná, Alejandro Sanz, Los Lobos, Soda Stereo, El Canto del Loco, Lagarto Amarillo and Santana among others.
Something i stumbled across. Such a good song :biggrin:

Well one of them is already in a relationship, though we get along quite well, in fact even better than her and her boyfriend so I think a relationship might be in the works. Watch this space. :tongue: There's also this one French girl in my friendship group who I like, but the rest of them aren't that attractive or my type. I guess you could say I have friendzoned them? :lol:

I wouldn't say rare, but I'm 16 why should I bother or care about relationships at my age. Honestly, I have zero desire to be in a relationship with anyone. I even don't want to get married when I'm older, though it's a bit too early for me to say that. I like my own company, I guess. As well as relationships being really messy. :smile:

I know of the drama but never watched it. It's on my list for K-Dramas to watch over the summer.

Maybe so, Kris is a weird one. :tongue:

[Edit: How offtopic to the OP is this convo? LOL]

If you don't ever listen to Rammstein, then I'm sorry, but you're seriously missing out. :wink:

My current foreign language song of choice aha. I also listen to a bit of French pop music and I like listening to musicals in French like Les Misérables and Le Roi Lion. I find it confusing sometimes to listen to music in English whilst I'm studying, it's easier to listen to stuff I can tune out of slightly. Also I'm going to be a helper on a summer camp in France this year and I figure knowing the lyrics to Let it Go can only benefit me, you never know when you might need to break it out :wink:

Probably the greatest mismash of random Spanish words known to man.

The artist is Norwegian I think.

I like Japanese, French and Korean music. :emog:
That's singing as well as OSTs from movies/animes/etc if you know what I mean. :bunny::colondollar:
I do that too, mostly German though and some Korean.
I adore Maori music <3
I listen to this Taiwanese band who were famous about 12 years ago :colondollar:

I love Spanish/Latin American music! There's also a couple of French artists I like too. The best thing I've come across is 'Let It Go' sung in 23 languages, it's so captivating!
