The Blackangel Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I can only read the English alphabet. I think it's based on Roman lettering, but I could easily be wrong. But that aside, is anyone here able to read more than one alphabet? Like reading Russian, Japanese, and the English alphabets? The characters in their alphabets are just wild to me. Especially Arabic. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it all just looks like squiggles and dots to me. But if you can, was it difficult? How, when, and why did you learn the other alphabets?

Grungie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I’ve been able to read Japanese for quite awhile. Hiragana and katakana are pretty easy, but I’m not fluent on kanji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm OK at reading the Greek and Russian alphabets - and when I watched Squid Game, I learned Hangul (the Korean alphabet), but I'm still not great at reading that 😛 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm Chinese and we don't have an alphabet for me to grow up with, so the only one I know of is the English alphabet. The Japanese alphabet looks... hard. It's still my aspiration to learn the language at some point, but at this point of my life, it's unlikely I'll have time to do that.

killamch89 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I do know a bit of the alphabet in Spanish but that's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
