Have You Ever Been Asked.....

[Guest e ; c h o .]

I'm learning more Korean and ya.. there are people that ask if I'm korean or not.

They say I look like one. o.O

[Guest namu29]

People wonder why I'm learning certain languages, but they never ask me if I actually am Korean or Japanese

I get asked if I'm random nationalities just because apparently my appearance looks a bit mixed...

[Guest BL!NG]

well... I study Japanese... and no one asked me if I'm part japanese or something...

basically because I look totally arab... lol

but yeah they ask me why don't I study french or spanish instead ... why do they care?!

[Guest iPhets]

yes a lot of times =x

just because im learning japanese ==;

[xiao_ai19]

I speak Mandarin, English and Korean...so yeah I get a lot of that...i do some self study...and when i borrow foreigh\n language books from the library i always get that 'what-the-hell-is-this-girl-trying-to-do?' you know...but i just don't mind them...some of my classmates would laugh at me but i don't care! Though they call me 'Miss UNITED NATIONS...'

[Guest melancholy]

yeah i've been asked that before..

here i was telling my friend i was planning to take up japanese classes.. then this weirdo that i don't even know, was like "why are you learning japanese when you're obviously japanese?" thats so weird, seeing as i'm chinese

[miss_vicky]

Haha, nope. No one has ever ask me that kind of question while I was taking Spanish, but they have ask me the question if I'm "whatever" because I was looking up something in another language that isn't Spanish, for lyrics. I hope that makes sense.

[Guest sarah_luisa]

Yes. i took Japanese (I drop bcoz of busy schedule) and people always ask me if i'm japanese

Filipinos say I dont look like the typical filipino.

People usually guess me any other Asian race but filipino.

[Guest <3 Kim]

I used to do French for about 3 years

but no-one has asked me that

[Guest strawberry_hit]

nope i never been asked before..but some rude people have said that are you a .........wannabe...gosh...

[Guest eledoremassis02]

Glad I'm not the only one!! lol

When I was in Japan I got asked a few times if I was 1/2...and one guy giving out flyer's asked me if I spoke English, I said "a little" in Japanese, seeing what his reaction would be....

He gave me all this info in English....good thing I know English! lol

[Guest bcgirl5549]

I speak Swedish, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Punjabi (nationality of language)

The language i found more easy to study was probably Korean.

[Guest Anri Lin]

I speak/understand: English, Hindi, and Hakka-Chinese and I'm currently learning Japanese so sometimes my speech gets all jumbled up.

Example: I have to "chunglyeong" [bathe in chinese] now, "toh" [so in hindi] I'll talk to you later, kay? "Ja" [see you later short form in japanese] then.

People asked me if I was Indian before, which I WAS [a couple of months ago, tehe] but they wouldn't have guessed cuz I'm chinese in ethnicity.

[sunnyworld]

erm...

that's weird

but i've never been asked that before

i speak a little spanish, hmong and english and pretty soon; Chinese

(and hopefully korean) (:

[Guest hammy_chan]

well i'm learning spanish...and i dont look of spanish descent, so to answer that question, NO

[Joanna]

oh nope, no one has asked me that xD im currently studying Japanese and i've never been asked that

[Guest littlemisssunsunshine]

i used to learn German. and since apparently i looked mixed, people assume im part German or something.

[Guest abviolinplayer]

ugh yes I get that all the time, cuz I take German which isn't offered at my high school, so it's something new to them, I guess. Though I DO have German heritage, it's kinda difficult to tell them I'm not actually FROM Germany, I only have ancestors that are German...though sometimes I want to say I'm full-blooded German hehe

[Antz]

yup =__= when people see korean on any one of my things, they ask me if i'm korean ._.

[Guest ladee_bug]

I'm taking French in school. No one's asked me if I'm part French just because I'm taking it. They've only asked "Why are you taking French? Why aren't you taking Spanish like all the other Asians?"

LOL wth?

"Why aren't you taking Spanish like all the other Asians?"

Nah no one's asked me if I was French.
