I know the different tones of children's screams....
ya know....the ones that are fake...ones that mean
I need all the attention....the real ones which mean
there is pain and blood!! Does that count?

It does in my book!   I used to know French, but forgot a lot of it, and a tiny bit of Polish.

LOL small world Roz my father & sister + Brother all live in the Bala area 

Awesome! We might be distantly related They had a farm at Caeglas.

...and 4-5 years of self-taught Japanese. I started doing translations for comics (manga) and anime when I was 14-15 and ended up as a freelance translator .

How wonderful! I am a huge anime fan, anything Studio Ghibli plus a few bits and pieces I've enjoyed along the way. In Cambridge each year they have a film festival and quite often they have the UK premiere of the Ghibli film. Not the Disney subbed version (yeuk), I'm hoping that they'll have Gedo Senki this year. I'm also eagerly awaiting the next Fruits Basket issue
