I don't need them! I already have plenty, ready to be spent on nachos as soon as the new currency kicks in

Getting back on topic... HELLO. I'll add you to the list, we'll soon be millions and we'll take over ComicFury, rule with an iron fist and establish tacos as the new currency.

Welcome.

OH YES, this please.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! As Kyo said (don't remember if he said it), this is the kind-of-final-but-still-test version. Sorry it's still buggy on some things, I didn't really have a way of testing it on every phone out there (I guess I'm one of those only two guys with cellphones), but I'll be working on fixing these things.

Please post more stuff if you find anything.

As for fonts, if you need a wider range of fonts from where to choose from, you can always use a Google Webfont. The list of Web Safe Fonts is too narrow.

There's a lot of variety in the google webfonts collection, and all of them are quite good. The impact on the loading time of your site is very minimal (of course, the more webfonts fonts you use, the more noticeable it'll be) plus they're very easy to use, so if you need an alternative to the usual fonts, this is a great resource.

Switzerland speaks german? What? WHAT? No really, it may just be that I'm a foreigner but swiss german sounds like everything to me. Except German.

I'm up with Mag, nothing will ever beat my $50,000 Premiumfury Golden Blinga-bing Diamond Subscription. Best investment ever.

It is entirely possible, yes. Out of the top of my head, I'm not sure if it can be achieved with CSS alone (probably yes). You could always resort to Javascript, jQuery more specifically, but it's a bit messier.

Ok not even having Spanish as first language made that pun any less lame :P

Anyways, I guess you'll obviously know more about this since you're from Venezuela, and I'm not really acquainted with the facts, but isn't there a relative from Chávez ready to take on power and continue his same reign of terror? or was that Cuba?

The only complaint I've always had about the landing page itself, is that the author notepad (which is an important element IMO) is not very visible. This is specially important for multiple-author comics. I think the author notepad should be one of the very first (if not the first, along with stats) thing you should see when managing your comic.

It did happen to me, a long time ago, that I missed quite a few messages between authors, which were written in the author notepad, just because I would never see it.

Edit: Of course, all this applies more to a multiple-author comic situation, so maybe an option of having a more visible notepad or not would be good.

Wait am I missing something here? Not sure if you already answered something similar, but if you buy the thing, you'd be buying the whole building-like thingy, not just, some part of it, right?

Ciao e benvenuto! Non ti preoccupare che non mangiamo gente :D Vabbè, forse lo facciamo a volte... ma tu sei nuovo quindi sei sicuro :P Ci sono persone che vengono da tutto il mondo, ma penso tu sia il primo italiano che abbiamo. Comunque, benvenuto di nuovo e buona fortuna :)

Well, I get how kanji can be useful in working around the similar sounds problem in written japanese, but how about spoken? Is context enough? (I know very little about asian lnguages and their writing/spoken aspects, so what I say might or might not be completely stupid)

Regarding other aspects of the language, I've learned some because they're just beautiful and others because of usefulness, which I ended up liking anyways. Now, with japanese, how "useful" is it compared to Chinese, for example?

It definitely sharpens the brain in one way or another. I've yet to read scientific papers about how a bilingual person's mind works in comparison to a monolingual one, but I've heard wonders.

I've personally always avoided asian languages. I just, never liked them. If I had to learn an Asian language it'd be Chinese, out of usefulness (which is something I've actually been considering). Random question, does japanese have that "four tone" thing as chinese does, or every word means a single thing? Alsot he characters, do they represent syllables or ideas?

WOAH. WHAT. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE? THAT HANDSOME ZEPHIROT93 GUY IS BACK?

If by "back" you mean "post something once every 2 years" then kind of. Or I might stay this time and actually finish stuff.

ANYWAYS, I think I had seen a similar thread a long time ago, not really sure, but this is a topic in which I became seriously and way interested around April of this year. Just wondering if there are any other language enthusiasts (how do you even spell that word?) around here.

So, personal experience time! By March 2012, I still could only speak spanish (native language) and english. It really is something that had never bothered me, I was cool with it. Then, by a completely random turn of events, I "accidentally" started learning italian through facebook. A couple months later, I was amazed at the progress I had actually made in such a short time (yeah, italian's quite similar to spanish, so I had an advantage, but personally, I found it harder than french)and that's when everything sparked up for me. When I became intermediate in italian, I kinda became obsessed with other languages and started to learn German and (relearn) French. Then I realized I had a nice ability to pick up some aspects of languages quite fast.

Today, around 7-8 months later, my PLIDA C1 Italian certificate is on its way from Rome, and I'm pretty satisfied with myself. Needless to say, I kept learning and learning, practicing every single day, even if it's a little bit. Right now I can say I speak Spanish, English, Italian, French, German, and well, I'd say I can already speak Portuguese and Catalán but right now I've mostly just written them.

My favorite language of all time (as of now) is German. Oh, stupid German, I love you. So much. Marry me. *smooches German* I had actually attempted to learn German last year, but my attempt lasted around 3 days and ended up knowing no more than "Der Lastwagen ist nicht schwarz". The passion was not there yet. This year, when I decided I should try again, everything went quite smoothly. It all amde sense to me. Why german grammar is so ridiculously complex, I don't know, but I understood it. It felt good. My german is far from perfect, and I'm sure I still make lots of mistakes, but I'm very satisfied with my progress. If there's one language I'd love to completely master, it's this one.

SO, end of personal ranting and language-kissing time.

This topic might be boring to most, but for those who share this love for language-learning in general, I want to hear from you.

What do you speak?
How did you learn?
What do you think the importance of languages is in modern times? Business? Culture?

GO!
