when i first met my roommate, he told me he could speak 7 different languages. i was impressed. then he showed me a korean rap music video (my roommate said he spoke korean) and i asked what the rapper was saying. "um, i dunno," he said. "i think it's about this girls in the video."once when we were at a thai restaurant, he said, "they're speakings thai." he had claimed, earlier, that he spoke thai, as well. "what are they saying?" i asked. "i dunno," he said. "what language would you say you speak the best?" i asked, skirting the issue that he seemed not to know any of the languages he had claimed to know (although he was born in china and at least does know mandarin). "i speaks english the best," he said.
