Has anyone gotten one of those weird memories that wasn't in a language they knew?

Also, does anyone speak Japanese? I'm trying to write down a conversation from memory, but it's hard when it's not a language you know.

Fluent in it. この記憶は何？

And kinda. They must have been speaking another language but I understood it so didn't really think of it at the time.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I guess you're just unreasonable and lucky. Maybe I'll take Japanese next year if more of these memories are in incomprehensible gobbledegook.

[shiromadoushi]

Maybe by then you'll remember how to speak it.

[not_good_not_wicked]

That'd be pretty convenient.

[shiromadoushi]

It would be, yeah. Better than those poor guys who have languages that no one else knows! Just have one mini heart attack and wham! 2nd language!

I have the feeling that some of mine haven't been in English, but I understood stuff at the time and think of it in English now. Weird, huh?

Sorry! I took some classes on it, but you're likely to find someone a little more fluent to be a bigger help.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I don't think I'm gonna be able to write the whole thing down phonetically in any kind of comprehensible fashion, anyways.

[espigeonage]

Certainly not to me, lol. But you remember what was said clearly, even though it's not in a language you know?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Pretty clearly. I think I was robbing a library.

I was born in Japan, so I guess you can say I'm fluent in it.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I'd hope you would be. I only know a tiny bit.

I could give you a hand with translations although I'm not too sure if it would help. We say things a bit differently.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Maybe you can make sense of this, then.

[Text file sent! It contains a Japanese conversation as interpreted phonetically by someone who knows barely enough of the language to haltingly ask where the bathroom is, and thus is nigh incomprehensible. It MIGHT be about someone stealing something, or about books, but it's a crapshoot.]

[All right. This has him curious.]

I can speak a bit.

[Neglecting to share that it's his first language and that's pretty much all he exclusively speaks, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

You'd want more than a bit if you were going to translate incoherent dream ramblings.

[controlsdesire]

Try me.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You asked for it.

I haven't gotten memories like that, but I keep getting songs in a language I don't know.

...actually, I'm not really sure if the language exists. It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard.

Re: voice

[not_good_not_wicked]

Maybe it's some weird language from some valley in the Himalayas that isn't spoken anywhere else or something.

[solfage]

Maybe! I keep hoping that next time I remember something, it'll be how to understand it.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I've never found that you need to understand a song to enjoy it.

I got an entire language I didn't know before. Not like I even know what it's called....

...I'm also fluent in Japanese, if no one else has been able to help.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I think I got all the help I'm going to already, thanks.

[chalicejoker]

Unsurprising. There's a fair amount of Japanese speakers on here, I've found.

Best of luck to you in making sense out of things, at any rate.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Thanks.
