Where's Mutou getting all this artistic skill from?

Scientists are artists.

Huh. I always thought they were scientists.

@Stein: Buncha suckers. People gotta quit lending him money.

I just figured he has money, he's just nuts. Didn't he have some crazy answer like, "It's unlucky to break large bills" or something? I don't remember.

What uses the same alphabet?

He mean if your first language is using Latin character, maybe with extra line and dot, You will understand English easily compared to German head aching grammar, Russian backward letter, Chinese-Japanese "moon-runic" letter.

Did you mean mine?
Who know, maybe Nomiya hates him because Mutou actually draw better than him but rather want to be science teacher.

I understand German quite easily.
Not enough to speak it, but enough to get the gist of a convo.
so not sure what you mean there

I took Chinese for half a year. Didn't go too well. That language is crazy bonkers, for realzies.

It's easy to learn a language that is of a similar family.
Which is why most English speakers have an easy(er) time of learning German or Dutch, as all three are Germanic Languages.
Same goes for French (kind of veered away), Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Which are Latin based.

Took Spanish for 2 years. I'm okay with the language, but I couldn't converse with a person from a Spanish-speaking country. They speak too goddamn fast!

German just scares the crap out'a me, and quite frankly sounds unpleasant to the ears. I hope that doesn't offend anyone ; ^ ;

Mother's side Brazilian Portuguese, I know that pain.
And German can be a very beautiful language. Case and point Ein Lied by Rammstein.
Yes, they have a song that is literally translated as "A Song"

Rammstein is awesome. I'm not an avid fan, but I do enjoy their music. Du Hast is a personal favorite, but that's the song that everybody loves to love

I do have to admit, German metal is pretty epic, albeit a bit, nay, TOTALLY FREAKIN' INSANE. Some German metal is perfect nightmare fuel...

Now, how to get back on topic? Uhhh.... umm... Kenji's sanity is level -9000. Or something like that.

Try learning Arabic...

Damn you guys have jumped way the hell off topic.

I better fill out some more charts.

I learned a little bit of language with "backward letter", why should I fear about language that write backward (in usual sense).

Arabic is one of the only semitic languages (the only other i can think of is hebrew), and it is very diffrent then european languages in grammer, the writing isn't the hard part

From the rate of 1 to Japanese (9001). What's the difficulty of Arabic grammar?

I lived in Dubai for a couple of years, a couple of years ago, and learning Arabic at the new school (after coming from the 'amazing' Scottish education system) was ridiculously hard, but I'm not really a languages person anyway

literally if I had swallowed my pen and shat out writing all over the page I would have got similar results that actually trying to do Arabic properly
