Sometimes I can't tell if they are speaking in Korean or in French. This has happened to me a few times in the last month.

I got that in Taiwan. There's some similarities, I think. Between French and Chinese. Must be the lack of diphtongs. And some vowels are the same. I dunno. It all fks me up sometimes living in Quebec, then Taiwan, and now here. For long periods of time in each place.

I swear it sounds like they're speaking English sometimes and I think, "Hey, another foreigner!" But I don't really want to see another foreigner. Not in my small town. They might think I'm more than an idiot than I already am for talking to them.

Strangee.

I watched Atonement the other day. Near the very beginning of the film, a man enters the room but he didn't say what I had expected. I was shocked, for a split second, that he didn't say annyonghaseyo until I realized my error.
