(117 posts)how many languages do you speak? i've seen you post in english, japanese, korean, and i believe mandarin.
btw i only speak english, but i watch a lot of asian movies.
yuiyoshida
(41,862 posts)But I do know a few words in Mandarin thanks to my friend who was from Taiwan. I also know some Korean words but not complete phrases. I should mention, that I studied Japanese for four years. My parents were never fluent speakers in that language. They were taught , you live in America you speak English, as was taught to me.. but when I wanted to study, they were quite happy I was learning our ancestral tongue.

(117 posts)i would like to learn another language, but i have the attention span of a cat. i've taken spanish classes, but it's not long before i lose interest and drop out.

(41,862 posts)When I was in High school, I was offered German, French, Spanish and Latin as a course I had to take. I was forced to take French and later Spanish. I hated it not because I didn't like the languages but because I was forced to take them. I said to my teachers, why is it you offer no courses in Japanese? Tagalog? Mandarin, These are Asian languages...do I LOOK FRENCH TO YOU?
She told me anyone can take French, even people who look like you, and the reason we don't offer Asian languages is because no one here is qualified to teach them. I said, what about our Gym Teacher?? He is a native Korean, I would learn Korean! She said, no, he is not qualified to teach Korean even if he speaks it fluently, which I am sure he does. You will just have to wait to go to college to take a Asian language.
I told them, its stupid, to force someone to learn a language they have no use for or even want!
They said, if you learn how to speak French, you might find ways to learn an Asian Language better.
Well she lied. I failed at French, (IN an Asian family you don't fail any subject!!!) and it didn't help me learn Japanese. I found my passion there on my own. (And yeah my parents were not happy I failed French, so my father got me a dictionary, in Japanese, and told me I was grounded during the Summer, and as my punishment, I was to learn four New Japanese words a day during the summer. It was the best Punishment, ever because I wanted to learn. I still have that dictionary!)

(670 posts)Although the American version has usable arms and opposable thumbs. That's a pretty underrated advantage in regards to giant monsters.

(670 posts)Like most fictional characters in comics and anime, whatever power is needed to be pulled from someone's ass to win the day when all is at its darkest that's what will happen. I did enjoy Shin-Godzilla, but I still can't get past goofy rat looking Godzilla from the early part of that movie.
yuiyoshida
(41,862 posts)into a more powerful creature, he did LOOK GOOFY looking ..the big eyes, almost like an Anime character, but later became small eyed and sinister. I agree with you on that!

(1,132 posts)Tokyo.
Really looking forward to seeing Shin Godzilla BTW - - I was terribly disappointed with the 2014 Cameo Godzilla, and I've heard great things about this one.
America wants to drop a nuke this time? The screenwriters saw Trump coming a mile away, eh?

(1,606 posts)So I would go with mechazilla. Full disclosure though, I am not big on the kaiju stuff, I do love the TV series of all kinds (sentai, kamen rider, metal heroes, jetman, garo, etc etc)
But I pay my respects to the genre as I am a big nerd. ♡
