Yes I know. But usually soap operas don't have a good pace. They go on and on about the details, and most of the problems are problems that one could have solved in a second but that in soap operas take a few episodes.

Wow. That sounds cool, I think I only heard Cantonese once or twice. The closest I know is a few words in mandarin. ^^' But yes, Japanese is my special language. *.*

Yes I can understand that. Usually I also try to watch shorter dramas, and yes you can watch twice the dramas in the same time, but then I came across some dramas that aren't small but still are amazing so I kinda let that go a little, but not completly. ^.^

Lol. Don't be maybe it's just me, but to me it does sound diferent then what you read... :S But I think it's an interesting language. Though I love Japanese... it's special for me somehow. =)

I'm the same with spanish. I can hear people talk and understand it perfectly, but when it comes to writing... well... =P I would love to learn some korean, but I'm missing some bases I think... I mean, I hear what they say in dramas and try to see how they write it but I can't understand it because the writing and spelling seems so different for the same words...

I took japanese for one semester last year so I just know the basics, and ofcourse I keep practicing, expecially when I watch japanese dramas. I do love languages. Do you know any other languages?

Some spanish, a little french and a little of japanese. =D Hola amigo. Que tal?

Lol. Well I don't use it either sorry XD But I can say "Olá". =P

Yes brazilian soap operas are good, but they are long too... I personally like the ones that are period soap operas. Like Sinhá Moça, that is probably my favorite, but it is long.

Happy Birthday!

No I don't mind. =) Soap operas? Mmmm not really. There was a time I did, but not usually portuguese, brasilian soap operas are much better and have better actors then here. But now I work so I never have the time to watch any on tv. But some times I go and rewatch some on the computer or so. =) Do you watch any?

I would love to discuss it with you. =D I founf the holy pearl here http://doramax264.com, the quality is not very good though. I'm from Portugal! Where are you from? =)

I live in Portugal ^.^

I'm not sure if it's 65 or 56 volumes. ^^' But either way it was very long, and still I was disapointed at the end about some things. But don't worie I won't make spoilers. I already have the holy pearl here, all I need is time to watch it. If you happen to watch it first let me know what you thought about it. =D

I see, well you keep study and trying, I'm sure you'll get it soon enough. =D

Mmm well maybe not, all the languages have a lot of evolution so it's not that much smiliar. Try not to think about it. =) Tell me if you need any help. ^^ You could try and watch drama with Spanish subs to practice...

Wow. That is a lot of time. I work 100% in front of the computer so I know the feeling a bit. Latin based languages are very hard always. Portuguese and Spanish are similiar in some ways.

Personally I think that 65 volumes it's too much, but the story is nice and and it's easy to read it. Did you ever watched the drama "Holy Pearl"? I didn't even knew the drama existed befor I read the article here on MDL about some adaptations of anime/manga to drama. It's not a live action but it's loosely based on inuyasha. I haven't watched it yet but I will as soon as I can have the time for it.

That's cool, I love languages. I wish I could have learn more of them. But I don't have much free time. I can understand spanish very well, speak and write reasonably too but not very well. I also speak Portuguese, English and some French. I did study japanese in one semester, but I couldn't take the second because I finished my studies and I came home to work.

I didn't watch all the anime from inuyasha but I did read the manga... And yeah... TOO long.. there were a time when it started to get boring, but then it picked up again. The last few volumes were still ongoing so I started reading one per week as they came out, but still I think it was worth it, I really like the story even thought the romance could have been better in some aspects...
