[영원한 사랑]

I"m korean (but born in america) and my korean isn't great.
Like when I speak I get nervous and hecka blank out.
So when I do speak korean I end up mixing english with it cuz i cant think of what to say
Its especially embarassing when family from korea comes over and you don't know what to say to them ... then they get weird ideas cuz you dont talk to them alot


Sad sad sad, but oh well I can improve

[vip_gd]

I'm chinese and I can't speak cantonese very well
sometimes I'm embarassed cuz I have this americanish accent and my canto sounds terrible *hides face with paperbag*

[laostickyrice]

its embarassing when your parents' friends ring your house and you pick up.T_T
i sound terrible but im working on it!

[tofu plushie]

I can't speak chinese well at all T_T And forget taiwanese, I know nothing.

It's pretty embarrassing when I have to communicate with relatives.

[lovetoday.]

i grew up in phils and came in australia around when i was 10
and after like 3 years i didnt remember how to speak tagalog/visaya anymore o_O"
and my mum got angry at me >< she wouldnt talk to me if i didnt talk to her in filo
so i had to learn --' everytime i talked to her i would write it down first
making sure if it makes sense LOL
but now im pretty good cos i jsut went there last year for a month!
but sometimes i cant pronouce them. im not fluent either.

[elissayoo]

but i guess the people know what im trying to say..haha... i speak conglish = korean and english mixed together xD

same here! it sucks cuhz i used to go to chinese school too and the teacher would always comment on how im not pronouncing a word correctly... i must sound like a fob to her the way she sounds like a fob to me TT__TT but when others speak to me in chinese, i always understand what they say XD

[lalaleidy]

well I was born and raised in the Phil but I admit that I'm not that good in tagalog.
Actually, I think i suck.. I'm not used to it. I'd rather speak in bisaya or english.
weird, right? rofl =))

[romanntic]

I think I can speak my native language (tagalog) a little bit -- like, the basics and stuff.
but fluently? nope x)
I can full understand though.
most of the time anyway^^

[littlemisssunsunshine]

apparently i sounds ok, kind of fluent. but i think i sound jibberish.. so i get a little embrassed.

[cerys]

*raises hand*

I can't speak chinese (teo chew) fluently at all ): Although I do know most of the things my relatives say, I have really bad grammar structure and pronounciation in my language.

Not really that embarrased though. It'd be nice if I could speak my own language fluently, but hell, I know fluent English lol (:<

[winter.love]

I'm not very fluent in my Vietnamese >.<
Lately, I'm starting to forget some words...of my own native language

[brian032]

If you have trouble speaking it, then it's most probably not your native language. I think the category most of you are putting your language into is "ethnic language."

English is my native language and I have no problems speaking it. As for my ethnic language, Laotian, I'm not too great.

[suzic87]

Im Chinese (Parents from Hong Kong) and my cantonese is shocking! although I was praised by a sals assistant in hong kong once for speaking good canto for a BBC ha

However seeing I was born adn bred in england I can speak English

[BattleRoyale]

i'm vietnamese and not really that fluent. i'd have to say though that i think i've really improved cause i use to suck so bad so im proud of myself it can get embarrassing sometimes when im speaking to elders or relatives in vietnam =/ or sometimes i just don't speak to them @ all cause they'll laugh at me when they hear how broken i sound T^T

[xskyi]

Viet here and cant even put out a whole sentence without puting in some other weird words.

I do feel ashamed because my parents friends alway brag about their child knows the language fluently...
But I will manage the language some day, I guess......

[beautifullone]

ahh I can't speak korean that well either :[
the other day I said hwakyo instead of hyokwa (effective)
eep ><

[tasty]

me.

can't speak korean. i only care because i can't exactly communicate with extended family back in korea. i basically have no korean friends but i don't care.

and i really really have no interest in getting to know korean fobs.

[daintymilk]

I'm aussie born chinese, and I can't speak my own language very well...
someday when I'll have time, I'll definitely learn!

[agnes.]

i'm chinese but i'm far from fluent in speaking mandarin.
i'm living in the philippines though, so that's my excuse. xD
