*listening to a muffled performance of a rock song from the next apartment over... it's okay*

You should come over to my house. The karaoke strikes when it wants to.

No judgement, my family did that too. That's how I discovered quirky Japanese rap group Rip Slyme.

For sure. I used to dabble in a bunch of different foreign languages for fun. As a result, I was never really fluent in any of them ^^;

I did try learning German and Japanese back then. The German teacher, however, was absent for two weeks, so I didn't continue. I'm still trying to learn Japanese

I'm attempting to learn German, since I'd like to visit the country one day.

I took Latin for five years because I thought it would help me be a biology major. It didn't. But I did gain a deeper appreciation of that one scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Because it's there.
It's an interesting country

I was surprised how easy it was to pick up German and Dutch. I guess I was just intimidated by all the consonants clusters.

The hardest part are the genders, apparently.

Tale of the Fishwife and its Sad Fate
It is a bleak Day. Hear the Rain, how he pours, and the Hail, how he rattles; and see the Snow, how he drifts along, and of the Mud, how deep he is! Ah the poor Fishwife, it is stuck fast in the Mire; it has dropped its Basket of Fishes; and its Hands have been cut by the Scales as it seized some of the falling Creatures; and one Scale has even got into its Eye, and it cannot get her out. It opens its Mouth to cry for Help; but if any Sound comes out of him, alas he is drowned by the raging of the Storm. And now a Tomcat has got one of the Fishes and she will surely escape with him.(...)

Genders and cases are the bane of any student's existence, I swear.

She's similar to Portuguese in this regard, plus neuter gender, it seems

Also, that was from Mark Twain's essay, The Awful German Language. Quite awful that he got enthusiastic in learning about it.

I'll try to say ~ c u s s ~ instead of *bleep*. Would that be better?

I'd say cussing is preferable to cursing so it might alleviate your condition.
