<p>it depends...
i used to be terrible at korean, but i sort of immersed myself in to the language/culture...
now my ipod has half kpop and just american/british songs... </p>
<p>sooo, basically i'm bilingual and i'm working on my french. hopefully if i master that, i can move on to spanish and i also want to learn chinese or japanese :)</p>
<p>xoxohersheykiss, same with me too, i used to be so horrible at korean. but I just kept talking to my mom in it for about three years and I got more fluent.</p>
<p>I have a heavy accent in spanish but I do know how to speak it, it took a while to actually be able to speak it easily....</p>
<p>i guess the point is that practice makes perfect</p>
<p>My parents were a lot more laid-back about my application. If I get in, that's great, but if I don't, no worries.
In general, this reflects myself I guess. I tend not to take things too seriously because if I did, I would totally have a nervous breakdown. I almost did after I interviewed at St. Paul's. It was so...imposing...
Did anyone else get that impression at a school?
Because Groton, Exeter, and Middlesex were a lot less imposing, in my mind.</p>
<p>I speak English, and working on French (I'm really bad at it but practice does make perfect) I also want to learn Mandarin and Spanish, and maybe Japanese or German if I can.
Personally, I don't really think in words (or if I do, I don't realize it), but rather images and feelings and stuff.
I almost never remember my dreams, but when I do, they make such little sense that I can't even sum them up in words. It might start with aliens that just wanna boogie and end with oreos. So random...maybe there's something in the water?</p>

<p>My parents were pretty much the same, my mom was like, "If you get in with financial aid, of course you'll go." But my dad was like, "Nope, I'm not letting you go even if you get in!" And then my brother, who's horrible to me most of the time, was all, "Please don't go, I'll be really nice?"</p>
<p>It was aw =] Lol, I wrote the essays and then my dad just told me if I had grammatical errors and stuff.</p>
<p>I dream in English, mostly. Sometimes in Korean if its about Boys Over Flowers, ahahah. I'm fluent in Korean because even though I was born in France and lived in the US since I was around 1, I spoke Korean at home until I was three, when I went to daycare and learned English there. xD Which was good; I was fluent in both languages when I was around 4, but I've been trying to learn French for aaaages and I'm still not fluent in it.</p>
<p>Bee: AWWW! Your little brother sounds adorable! </p>
<p>Xoogabyxoo: I'm kind of in the same situation. I was born in Russia. I think in my case it's worse because all of my family is fluent, and I'm the only one who can't speak it. When they want to tell secrets, they just speak in Russian. I feel so left out. :(</p>
<p>xoogabyxoo-</p>

<p>Ohmygod, I am literally obsessed with Boys over Flowers. I mean, its cheesy and materialistic and stuff, but Yi Jung and Jun Pyo are like <3 There are no Korean people at my school that watch it except for my half Korean friend who I convinced to. And loves it.</p>
<p>Haha, what schools are you guys applying to? That would be funny if we went to the same.</p>
<p>Haha I watched the Japanese version then I guess, but with english subs because there is NO WAY I could have otherwise understood it :)</p>
