its not really bored vs excited its more of raising your voice like a question versus saying it flat but you can still say something with a flat tone excitedly

I was just confused about the various nuances that we experience speaking English. Like, is there a sarcastic tone of voice in Chinese? Or anything else that sort of telegraphs meaning without actually saying "I mean this".

Actually, that's something that interests me in all languages. It's the reason why I'd like to learn as many languages as I can, because I think it opens up new levels of understanding about a culture or country. I really like languages. Even though I apparently suck at them, because I've been trying to self-teach Japanese for the last year or two, and I can't speak a single complete sentence. xD

I think its a lot like English its a lot about body language. But yeah the worst time I've had in that class was when a guy from Hong Kong laughed at my project and said he needed to take a picture of it and send it to his friends in China.

Self Study is hard. I have an account on livemocha but I cant seem to concentrate cause there is no one to study with me. That an there is someone on MagiStream giving Japanese lessons :3

That's really rude. I mean, if you're still learning the language there's no reason for someone to laugh at you making mistakes.

apparently I worded something horribly. But most of the other Chinese speakers are nice and help all of us non native speakers. That guy in particular only took the class to take care of a prerequisite

I always thought the people in my high school Spanish class who already knew Spanish were extremely rude. I realize that the school only offered Spanish as a language course, and two years of a language was required to graduate so they were probably bored, but they all constantly laughed at the beginners' projects and stuff. Like everyone should've instantly known Spanish just because they knew it. :/

yeah but I didn't really care at the time. The only times that sucked were when we were doing listening practice and the Chinese speakers would all laugh and the rest of us were like "what did they say!?"
