What's on your mind today?

Good point. My biggest problem with learning languages is the fact that I cannot roll my tongue, which is important to in many languages. 

Ha, me too. My wife always makes fun of me about that, at which point I roll up my tongue and stick it out at her, since she can't do that

Asmo makes a good point, I was mostly thinking of English speakers. Did a little googling and found this list from the US Dept of State. Looks like Japanese is the toughest:

Language Learning Difficulty for English Speakers

I never found Japanese very hard. I don't speak it, but I have a friend who does and she will sometimes teach me nifty phrases. I think with most Asian languages many people are put off by the symbols.

Japanese is so easy to read and speak. I only have trouble writing it. i'm practicing now ^_^~

To each their own, i guess. i grew up with it since i was 6, so it's a natural second language to my English.

Well done T. Four is a fine age to start your fifth year. Happy Birthday.

June seems to be a popular month for preHAFfer birthdays. September must be jiggy time for Atheists...

September can't be much worse than being conceived on Valentine's day. Which I was.

Happy Burfdy to little T, and many more of 'em!

Wish T a happy birthday from me.

Thanks everybody!

G85 - I made T another paper airplane today, so that's a gift from you that keeps on giving. 

(G85 taught me how to fold a paper airplane for T last weekend on Skype right before our meetup.  My first attempt was really pathetic, at least judging by both T and G85's reaction to it.)

Poor Cash. He's getting snipped here soon, and to add insult to injury one testicle looked like it hadn't dropped yet so I had to feel him up to make sure they were both there. They were and he is not happy with me right now.
