hee! well, the grammatical/tonal stuff doesn't bother me, since i've grown up hearing it; it's the actual vocabulary and writing systems that keep me from intensive study, mostly. (i wanted so badly to study languages in college- Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Finnish, etc.- but the amount of work i already had was so staggering that i just... couldn't justify it, haha. i ended up taking conversational French, just so i wouldn't completely lose the five years of it i'd done in high school.)
