Just wondering if there are any mixed asian linguists out there. I speak english, hebrew, some french and japanese. How bout you people? How many of you have your asian parents language to a native speakers level? I am ashamed of my poor japanese. If my mother was japanese, I would probably be fluent. :(Instead, I am fluent in sephardic hebrew. ;D Peace.

hahaha hebrew!!! I used to be able to read that for the short time I spent at hebrew school + barmitzvah, though I couldn't actually understand anything I was saying rofl. And now I don't even think I remember anythinggg. I think my jewish name was LeoLavi (or something like that pronounced in english), is that a normal name? does it have any significance? And I don't really speak any other language, well, maybe a bit of spanish b/c of 4 yrs of highschool, and if you count internet lingo as one then perhaps a third

3 years of living in Israel kind of forced hebrew into my brain! Ineffable, levi I know refers to Jacob's third son and father of the tribe of priests in the Torah. Therefore, it is a proper kosher hebrew name! Sugar velvet, LOL! Mino, what are those languages?
