The Introduction Thread

Welcome to all the new people!

North, I like your icon

Kizzy, there's a loooot of language enthusiasts here so you'll fit right in!

[KicknRun]

Hello everyone~ Normally when introducing I'd state my name but I don't quite like my real name, so we'll stick with nicknames instead! My friends call me either Kizzy or Kitty. I'm 23 years old and a graduate of Translation and Linguistics (well, mainly the former), so if you ever feel like discussing the scientific aspect of language with me then do so! I love learning grammar of other languages I also love to worldbuild, conlang (aka make my own language), and draw.

I've found SSSS comic via Minna's DA. I think I saw one of her Red Tail or SSSS art in someone's favorites; that's how I've found the comic. I love everything about it so far and I've managed to rope a friend into reading it. Now she's in love! 

Hello! I might randomly message you about a story I'm writing, just saying.

Welcome to all the new people!

Thank you so much! I shamelessly drew myself in the SSSS-uniform 

[Kizzy]

Welcome! And it's okay; not many people use their real names here anyway.
Seeing as you're a linguistics student, here's our languages board (big part of the forums, languages): https://ssssforum.com/index.php?board=5.0
Here's the self-inserts thread for art: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.0
And here's our IRC channel: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=#ssss
See you around!

Thanks! Checking them out right now.

Welcome, you person most likely with family from the Philippines (Cebu, maybe?). If you need any help with Tagalog, as I see in your signature, I can try and help somehow! I'm not a native speaker myself, but if I actually bring my confidence up to a certain point, I can speak fairly decent Taglish, if I do say so myself.

Nope, they're from Davao. I can see why you'd think Cebu since lots of Filipinos on the internet are from there.
Really? That's nice of you  This will definitely be my next language project once I'm done with what I'm currently working on.  What made you learn Tagalog though? If you don't mind me asking.

Haha yeah, I noticed. It's actually one the reasons why I've signed up! And I don't really like forums.

Hi! Yes, please do so. I love reading other people's work  Is it SSSS related or an original?

I actually thought that your family came from Cebu because your family did not live there for some time, seeing as you should know Bisaya and Tagalog, but don't.  If this were not true, you would have probably been able to speak Bisaya and Tagalog, seeing as they'd probably have been impossible to not have known. I actually thought that most Filipino migrants were Cebuanos, so I guessed your family was from Cebu. Nothing to do with the internet except for, 'Wow, there are a surprising number of Filipinos on the internet.'

As for why I can sort of maybe speak Tagalog, I'm sixteen, so I still live with my parents, who are both from Manila. I lived in the Philippines for about a year when I was seven, so I picked a bit of Tagalog then, though I didn't speak it there, and my daily conversations full of Taglish maintained that level of fluency, which is somehow above normal Filipino migrants' children's level of fluency. I'm planning on increasing that fluency by practising whenever I can even if I'm not confident.

So yeah, that's my Filipino story.

Hello all!

I'm in my early twenties and was born and raised in Germany. I was forced to move to America ten years ago. It's pretty good over here, but I'd much rather be back home. I enjoy reading and writing the most, although I also collect dolls and occasionally butcher sew clothes for them.
I don't remember exactly how I found the comic, probably some random reference somewhere on the internet, but I was hooked from the first page. Plot, characters, setting, everything's right up my alley. Here's to becoming a happy addict!

Hahhahah. Its SSSS-related but I wrote myself into a hole again so I have no idea when its happening.

Welcome to the community! I seem to remember you were promised cookies; here are some squirrel cookies for you:

[Silent Fox]

OMG, sparkly and delicious! Thank you very much. It's such a cute thing to do for new members.

Ahhh I see. Most Filipino immigrants I've met are from Manila and other provinces, rarely Cebu. It may have to do with the fact that I barely get out of the house. I figures you were/ your parents were Filipinos, but I thought I'd ask It's nice that you've picked up Tagalog at a young age. It should be easier for you compare to someone who is already in their 20s like myself.

I actually meant that mist migrants speak cebuano come from cebu. Just a clarification. Most migrants do spesk Tagalog though.

[whispers i hope this is done correctly ahhhhahaha]

Heyo!

I'm videovance, and I live in 'straya (the big continent, Down Under!) but I lived in Taiwan for most of my life. I'm fluent in English, even if my English teacher would heartily disagree, and I am trudging my way through learning Chinese! I'm half Chinese, half American, and kiiiind of half Australian (not thirds, halves. it's sort of a debate between ethnicity and nationality O:) but I hardly have an Aussie accent. Maybe a terrible bogan one if I try, ehehehe.

I really like drawing and cosplaying, and I plan to do plenty of both in SSSS. It's nice to meet you all!
(also: i am actually dying over how nicely drawn SSSS is. i am crying. it is so pretty oh my goODNESS)
