Multilingual

I've mentioned before that I'm a Filipino raised in Singapore

Here's random fact about me. 

I can speak English, minimal Tagalog and Chinese. 

Kekeke. I learned Chinese for like a decade already but I'm still horrible at it. I really respect idols for learning foreign language and are like fluent in a span of a year or two while here I am procrastinating over learning Chinese (no offence)

But despite my chinese vocabulary, I am able to understand the language. I can't read though. I can only speak and read the like basic words. More like primary/elementary level of Chinese. Yea, I'm that horrible.

However, whenever I respond to my Chinese classmates' conversation they'd always be like "You can understand what I said?" and I'll always be like "Yea, my mother tongue (second language) is Chinese. So I can understand what you said."

And if I actually speak in Chinese, my friends would be like "OMG AIRAM! YOU'RE SO FLUENT!"

I'm gonna be like "Whut? No. My pronounciation is just accurate but I'm not really fluent."

Kekeke. For tagalog, I'm alright with it cause I grew up speaking to my elders in tagalog so it's kinda like half? Fluent at the same time I'm not fluent? And well, I can understand tagalog more than I can for chinese. ^^ So don't be shocked if I use some chinese in my fics (well, that's if I include a chinese idol)

Well that's it for me.
