Since my beauty is international. Nah! just kidding. When I was 16 years old I used to work in a store owned by a Chinese couple.

And that was the time that I started to learn their language. I thought it was just that easy to learn their language but I was wrong.

Chinese language for me is hard to learn as you have to properly or correctly pronounce their words. Here are the words and phrases that I learned.

How are you? - Nǐ hǎo ma

What is your name?-Nǐ jiào shénme míngzì?

I love you - Wǒ ài nǐ

I miss you - Wǒ xiǎng nǐ

Good morning -Zǎoshang hǎo

I've learned those phrases from my boss. Since I got a bit closer to them. They speak Tagalog when they talk to me. If it was this generation wherein google translate is available maybe I already learned more from their language.

Moreover, when I had a chatmate before who is a Japanese National. I had to buy a Tagalog-Japanese dictionary for me to understand him better since he doesn't know how to speak English. Though I use google translate every time he sent me a message I still have to learn each Japanese word on my own and I still don't have a touch screen cellphone at that time. Might be easier if I own an android phone at that time.

Here are the phrases that I've learned

Good morning -Ohayōgozaimasu

Good evening-Konbanwa

How are you? Genkidesu ka?

I love you-Itoshi teru

I guess it is easier to learn the Japanese language or what we called Nihongo. You just have to pronounce it the way it's spelled. Just like Bisayan words.

Then I had a Danish fiance. So one of the requirements for processing my Visa is to learn their language. My Ex-fiance can speak English fluently. He slowly teaches me some Danish phrases. And just like the Chinese language, it is hard to learn their language, as their words are pronounced differently.

Here are some Danish phrases that I learned

I love you-jeg elsker dig

I miss you-jeg savner dig

Good morning -god morgen

Good night-godnat

How are you? -Hvordan har du det?

Where are you from?-Hvor er du fra?

Guys if you wanna know how to pronounce those danish words just use google translate. I bit you will find it hard too. The Danish language is somehow similar to the German language.

Since I am a native Bisaya or I speak the Visayan dialect, we naturally speak some Spanish words.

Here are some words in Bisaya that is also a Spanish word

Fork-Tenedor

Spoon-cuchara

Open-Abierto

Pants-Pantalones

danger-Peligro

Perfect-perfecto

T-shirt-Camesita

second-Segundo

First-Primera(feminine) primero(masculine)

Aunt-tia(Tiya)

Uncle-Tio(Tiyo)

Shoes-Zapatos

paper-papel

Pencil-Lapiz

school-escuela

book-libro

I guess I would stop here, there are more Bisayan words that are also Spanish words.

Ending thoughts

If I got time I would love to know more about other languages. I know I am not that good at English but I slowly learned English because of my Foreign ex-boyfriends. Talking in English most of the time will make your practice and learn from it. Thanks to my ex-boyfriends, I get the chance to learn other languages.

How about you familice? What are the languages you know? I can speak, English,Tagalog, and Bisaya fluently.
