Good question. I believe two large elements of wisdom not only rely on 'knowing thyself,' as the famous quote goes, but also of knowing one's surroundings - perhaps 'cognizance' and 'awareness' seem the best words for explanation. With the unity of surroundings and one's self, I feel both one's mind, one's surroundings, and the subsequent understanding of more surroundings will expand.
To the person below me: have you ever stolen something? If so, what, and how did you feel?
When I was about three years old I stole a building block. I don't know how I felt. Probably delightfully guilty ^_^
Do you often break into song while you are speaking?
To my family's embarassment, yes. But I write poetry and songs and play guitars of all types. :D :nod:
Have you ever faked a foregin accent to startle someone?
Oh no, I don't like it. My accent in English is not really good but I don't try to fake it, it makes it even more funny but many people here do so, not to startle but to try to impress others, they do it. Common thing.
Same Question.
I don't, though I do have an accent, comes with being bilingual from birth. It's most noticable with the "th", "f" sounds. "three" and "free" sound the same coming from me. I have a cousin, (who only speaks english) who is so funny when he uses his "Irish" or "Scottish" fake accents, but he enjoys the "comedian" side of life
Same Q
Not to startle some one, but I have faked an accent.
Do you have a favorite accent?
Ye have no been readin' th' ghost posts? :lol:
I confuse everyone with my accents, since I habitually drop into one or the other at all times. My normal voice is described as "well modulated."
Blimey, 'tis a fair question, luv. Cor, 'o's next? Pass the bleedin' thing on, china. :lol:
I have a bit of a weakness to some accents, yes, such as British, Italian, and especially the French accent (*melt* :D).
To the person below me: same question --

What's the language that you intend to learn?
French
Same Question.
French as well
""
Assuming it's the same question...
I'd like to learn lots of languages and I'm especially interested in etymology and linguistics(would love to learn Latin and Gaelic, apart from French, Spanish,Urdu and many more), but as for which of these I intend to learn, I think I'd like to continue with my French.
Where in the world would you most like to travel to?
Mmm..... Moscow.
If, tomorrow, the world would come to an end what is the one thing you would try to do before everything is over?
Where do you live, cruciverbalist? "Urdu" rings a bell in my ears. You are either from any part of Pakistan or perhaps India? Just a guess....might be wrong...Quote:
