У русских очень другое мнение о Войне в Южной Осетии. Ну, у новост, но я не знаю, как русские люди думаю. Я должен спрашивать мои русские друзья на vkontakte.

Salut francophones, ça va?
I think (at least so far) I like French more than Spanish, but in Spanish we're moving so much more quickly - we were learning how to conjugate verbs day one, but in French we've only kind of briefly touched on it, saving the full discussion for a later, undisclosed date.
But maybe French and Spanish weren't the best to start at the same time, since they share something like 80% of their vocabulary (with exact spellings), they're just pronounced differently.

Я наверно проваливался на моём французкем тесте. Может не быть. Но я ещё делал же плохо. Я знал мало о материале на контрольной, так я мог бы получать F.

I would like some help reading some kanji.
I am having trouble with:
The first two kanji in the yellow text.
The second, fourth, and fifth kanji from last in the white text.

The problem with video games is that they'll often neglect strokes for clarity, making it hard to read for anyone not fluent.

The yellow, the first kanji is 鎧, I can't make out the second but I'm assuming it more-or-less means "Armor-plated" or "Armor-wearing" or whatever.
And I'm not totally sure what you meant, your last sentence was incredibly unclear, but I think these were the kanji you wanted: (maybe?)

J'étudie le français!!! Il y a trop de verbes que je dois memoriser. C'est très difficile. Les accents sont terribles aussi parce que je les oublie toujours!

Je dois pratiquer plus! ):<

I'm not sure if I should have used trop. D: Halp..

edit: Qui is just like il/elle right? so there wouldn't be a s after étudie? \(o_O)/

Verbes français sont trop pas mal. Mais, j'étudie les langues étrangère...
See, this is the kind of practice I want. Not this stupid workbook that I'm plowing through since I have forty pages due tomorrow and only started on an hour ago. >_>
As for whether you should have used trop, I have no idea. You actually just taught me the word. Do you know if I should have used it where I did (or at all)? <_< Actually I'm unsure about that sentence altogether. I wanted to say "French verbs aren't too bad." Should I have negated the verb? So, like "Verbes français ne sont pas trop mal"? Google Translate comes up with the same translation for both.
Accents are easy to remember if you get your pronunciation down, because they (usually) are pronounced different when they have an accent of some kind...

And yes, qui is singular third, so it should have been "qui étudie..."

I haven't really learned much about shortening negatives and stuff, but I think it should go something like

les verbes français ne sont pas trop mauvais

I think i'll ask my French teacher tomorrow. :/

Sturrrrm, how long have you been learning French? O: And did you finish those fourty pages on time..

There are French exchange students in my school. I want to talk to them, but I'm afraid of insulting them by screwing up when speaking French (or destroying the accent stuff). Speaking at the front of the mouth is hard. )':

Like four weeks. And there are students in our class that are fluent in French, too.

Estoy aprediendo Espanol.

Not fluent, oh no, not too close at all, but I know the language fairly well. Of course I can conjugate (one of the first things you have to learn), and all that good stuff; wish I could learn more language, but unless I hire a tutor I'll have to wait a few years.

You don't like Spanish as much as French, Sturm? What are your criteria?

There is no criteria. It's personal preference. Why do I like Japanese and Russian better than German, despite the fact that my German is far better than either? Just because.

Hm, language judgment. Well, who am I to understand you anyway?

Which language is the best? Hm... I don't know. I know only one language though.

I don't like Japanese because they have too many letters. 46 in the "alphabetic like" part and 2000 extra characters. It makes reading unnecessarily difficult. Thanks to Dr. Sturm for the help earlier with this. An alphabetic language with few letters seems better to me. Then again, I can dictate a passage in Spanish perfectly and still have no idea what I'm saying.

Will there ever be a time when Americans, British, and Australians cannot understand each other because their language is too different?

I think I like syllabic alphabets far more than "phonetic" alphabets. At least in the one I've encountered, there's little exception regarding pronunciation, spelling, etc.
French, English, Russian, Spanish, Irish and German all have letters whose sound is dependent upon its location in a word, or even in a sentence. Hence why the "a" in "cat" is pronounced differently from the "a" in "father", and why the "c" in "cat" is pronounced as a "k" whereas it is pronounced as an "s" in words such as "cease". In Russian, "vodka" (водка) is pronounced "votka" (вотка), simply because of the "d"'s location relative to the "k".

I thought Spanish wasn't so bad in that.
