@Alexander Pechorinare you ready for Chinese speaking Africans?

2018-11-11 05:20:31 UTC  

I'm assuming it's "offer, give"

2018-11-11 05:20:38 UTC  

French speaking Africans are already weird

2018-11-11 05:20:47 UTC  

lets all learn swahili

2018-11-11 05:21:18 UTC  

Jak sie masz

2018-11-11 05:21:26 UTC  

I lived on the island of Cyprus for two years so I’m fairly fluent in Greek And I can confirm that it is a difficult language

2018-11-11 05:21:32 UTC  

Check out this book I got in London

2018-11-11 05:21:35 UTC  

And I can testify that it is indeed a difficult language

2018-11-11 05:21:41 UTC  

Ancient Greek**

2018-11-11 05:21:42 UTC  

@Grayson wow that's cool- why did you live there

2018-11-11 05:21:46 UTC  

Very cool still

2018-11-11 05:22:13 UTC  

Imagine if the Chinese started calling us "Goy".

2018-11-11 05:22:25 UTC  

They have another word for it

2018-11-11 05:22:37 UTC  

That’s where the Mormon church sent me to serve my mandatory LDS mission

2018-11-11 05:23:09 UTC  

Yeah I think it's something like lao wai?

2018-11-11 05:23:10 UTC  

I saw a ton of Antifa and generally communist graffiti and propaganda everywhere in Greece when I was there. I did see a bit of Golden Dawn stuff as well though, but the amount of leftist references I saw was staggering.

2018-11-11 05:23:11 UTC  

I can't remember

2018-11-11 05:23:16 UTC  

@Grayson I nearly lived there too my parents almost accepted a teaching Job in Nicosia. Were there as a missionary? My brother went to Bucharest for his missionary work

2018-11-11 05:23:21 UTC  

Lao wai in mandarin

2018-11-11 05:23:24 UTC  

Yea

2018-11-11 05:23:27 UTC  

meaning "old outside" literally

2018-11-11 05:23:31 UTC  

Yes

2018-11-11 05:23:32 UTC  

Old foreigner, better

2018-11-11 05:23:34 UTC  

I remember that part

2018-11-11 05:23:40 UTC  

In Cantonese, it's guai lo

2018-11-11 05:23:48 UTC  

Which is something like "ghost guy"

2018-11-11 05:24:02 UTC  

goy lo

2018-11-11 05:24:22 UTC  

my Polish gets worse every year

2018-11-11 05:24:25 UTC  

@Virgil That’s very cool man. There were eight missionaries on the island.

2018-11-11 05:24:47 UTC  

At this rate I won't even be able to communicate with my parents in a few years (their English kinda sucks tbh)

2018-11-11 05:25:09 UTC  

I don't really understand how it's possible to live in this country and not speak english

2018-11-11 05:25:12 UTC  

wtf do they do

2018-11-11 05:25:36 UTC  

@ophiuchus It's not hard in California.

2018-11-11 05:25:38 UTC  

I mean my dad's is fine I guess

2018-11-11 05:25:48 UTC  

my mom still has trouble with weirdly simple stuff

2018-11-11 05:25:58 UTC  

Can confirm that Southern California you don’t need English

2018-11-11 05:25:58 UTC  

It would literally be impossible here

2018-11-11 05:26:14 UTC  

She works at a grocery store, so she interacts with people every day. She just doesn't want to improve.

2018-11-11 05:26:21 UTC  

I mean, I had to learn fluent ebonics to live in this town

2018-11-11 05:26:34 UTC  

I've explained concepts to her multiple times. She just doesn't care.

2018-11-11 05:26:40 UTC  

@Grayson Sounds really neat, sometimes I wish my dad would have raised me closer to the LDS church. I would have loved to have gone to Cyprus and Romania to be a missionary
