But I'm afraid that's mostly because I know when to keep my mouth shut and not make an Esel of myself. Mostly.
Yeah, I post very little in Japanese, and double-, triple, and quadruplecheck every sentence before hitting post. I'm too afraid to make grammatical mistakes... (which actually at this point hinders my progress with that language, I think.)
Maybe I'll even *shudder* get to the Fraktur this time...
Well, as far as that decades old Fraktur goes, most everyone here has trouble reading that, too. And I'm with you on the Kanji calligraphy. It's pretty but I can't even recognize the most basic ones.
I started memorizing Hangul, because I find it utterly fascinating and beautiful in its logical structure. But I have not the slightest idea how to pronounce the Jamo; maybe I can get a Korean for Beginners tape from the library just so I can get a feeling for the pronunciation.
