preferably with fists.

I have a gatorade bottle next to me, I have nothing planned for the day, and I'll probably go back to sleep if I get woozy.

Fine. Write them in whichever non-latin-based language you know first and then go French, but as a penalty you're going to have to use British English when you switch back at the end. I expect aluminium ploughs and colours and half-past-twoses (I only found out you guys don't do that last week), not to mention that Pittsburgh is correctly pronounced PITS-buh-ruh.

I don't know any languages other than English well enough to write notes in them, because the words I learn aren't very technical or academic, I usually just talk about what I do during the day. I know the word for 'school' in several languages, but I couldn't name many of the things inside of one.

I heard you're on a quest to learn as many languages as possible.

I think I would rather learn one language until I was fluent than learn multiple at the same time.

Well, I learn languages out of interest rather than out of some sort of necessity. Also, it seems to me like if I learn several while rotating them around every month or something like that, I'd be fluent in several in a much shorter amount of time than if I learned one until I was fluent and then moved on to the next.

You should try to write notes in that language anyway. Like only write down what you know and have the rest in English, and then look up other words you don't know later. There are people who say stuff like "You don't learn a language to use it, you learn a language because you use it" or something.

I have actually thought about it before, and maybe I should do that. The only thing is, I don't take notes very often, so I forget to do it.

Oh do I know it. Anyone who doesn't admit to this is a liar and a fraud.
