Names

[Cerebus]

Why "2"?

[Archem]

Does it matter? Make up your own reason.

[Prpl_Mage]

And yes, I'm curious as how you pronounce "Irineu" as well.

Well it's probably like Portuguese.
So think fogo and agua and stuff and then pronounce Irineu afterwards.

[Cerebus]

But... I don't speak Portuguese!
My guess is something near "Ee-rye-new".

Does it matter?

Well, yes!

Make up your own reason.

Well, no!

[Cerebus]

Uhm... but your English seems good.
Or maybe you can type/write in English but not speak?

I guess we'll have to wait for Grandy to tell.

Either that, or you can say it in the "Post a voice clip of yourself".

[Red Giant]

Yeah, he said before he learned all his english online.

[Dragonium]

Learning English just from the internet and videogames is a pretty big achievement, to be honest. Be proud, sir.

[Valiere]

Yeah, that's damn cool. Crazy that if any of us met you, you wouldn't be able to speak it though.

[Cerebus]

Yeah. I learned English by chatting online and playing videogames. So I cant really speak, just read/write.

It's quite the same for me. However, I had English class too.
But English class didn't help me understand texts in video games better, no!
It's video game texts that helped me in English class.

I can't speak English very well, though. I'm not that bad, but I often search my words and I think it's quite noticeable that English is not my first language when I speak.
Also, I have hard time understanding when people speak English too fast for me. So writing/reading is what I'm best at.

However, even on text, I often make mistakes, but at least it's not very hard to understand me. I think...

Same as this fella'. I've had English classes since I was like 9 perhaps. But I don't think I've ever learned anything from English classes since I was 10 or so.
I learned because I had to learn. It's kinda hard to complete Final Fantasy games without understanding what the crap they are saying.
I wasn't a nintendo fellow like others when I was a kid. I played game where people had dialogues and stuff.
So when that character tells you what's going on: you can't guess your way throughout the rest of the game.

I gotta say, I've learned a lot from Charas though. I'm using the language and reading it. And that's probably what it's about. I need to know it to communicate with you people.

Although, I can listen and speak English without any kinds of restrains. Hearing tasks in school are just a terrible waste of time.

[Cerebus]

You're canadian, right?

Yeah well French Canadian. I'm from Québec.

[DedlellyDeth]

Yeah. I learned English by chatting online and playing videogames. So I cant really speak, just read/write.

Man, that's awesome. I hope you're not typing the Engrish you may have learned from that. XD

Also, Cerebus meant "i-rai-nu".

[Prpl_Mage]

Man, that's awesome. I hope you're not typing the Engrish you may have learned from that. XD

Also, Cerebus meant "i-rai-nu".

If he can't speak it. Why would he say "Engrish"?

And I think Cerebus actually meant what he wrote. "i-rai-nu" doesn't sound very Portuguese to me.

Look up Engrish. Engrish is when Japanese people try to speak English and fail epicly. I was transliterating what Cerebus wrote into Portuguese phonetic conventions.

[Archem]

Yeah. I gotta get English classes some time. To learn how to speak it. Sooner or later I ll, since I plan on moving somewhere on Europe, some day.

Become addicted to YouTube, watch everything in English, listen carefully, and you'll be fine.
