Mostly French music. I can read French, to a degree. But I'm not so well-versed to get it through the speech of a native speaker.

It's way better when I have no clue what they're saying! :D Well, in my opinion. I don't like having to focus on the words of songs when I can understand, so why listen to that/those language(s)? :D I'm learning more languages, though... Meh. Whatever. I'll still be a bit J-music (Japanese) fan forever! As well as that of Korean, German, Spanish, etc. origin :3

Happy to Xemnas ... 2011/05/08 14:59:07

sounds better than what i was thinking, my first goal was a historian who works at a meuseum or a college, preferablly meuseum, but my next thought was teach japanese to kids in england, that way i only need to learn one language, which i would love since on days i choose to do nothing i can play japanese music or anime and call it "learning"
