What languages do you speak, besides whichever Old language you may have taken or may be taking in LAN 101?
I've found it interesting how some of the 'Old' languages that used to be spoken in some countries on this world seem equivalent to languages from my own world. For example, Japanese and German, my native languages, are much like this world's Old Shumi and Old Trabian. (So if anyone who took LAN 101 in a quarter offering those languages would like to practise their conversational skills or continue their studies, I may be able to fit you into my schedule. Twelve weeks is a short time to learn a language.)
I also ask because if we know how many native speakers there are of other languages, we could suggest that the library supply more non-English language books than just beginners' textbooks and low vocabulary level graded readers. Of course, I understand the library and the foreign language department's budgets may not cover new additions, but it's worth a try.

[LOBBY: TWO MINUTES BEFORE THE JAM FLOOD]
[Inspired by Chika's example of dragging Piyomon around with her, Touma actually has Gaomon out in the open today. MaybeThose Three Girls some of the more xenophobic cadets will get more used to more non-humans around if a SeeD, and their apprentice doctor, at that, has a non-human friend around.
[So here they are sitting across from each other on a bench in the lobby, a 3x3 gridded mat with one card on it between them. Both of them have a hand of monster cards before them.]
Try to play a card with a higher number than those on my card.
These really aren't drawn to scale.
[Touma smirks.] That's a little beside the point, Gaomon.
[TOUMA'S SUBCONSCIOUS: AFTERNOON | DISGUSTINGLY BACKDATED TO OCTOBER 8TH]
[Coming down the hallway from the cafeteria is Touma, flanked by Gaomon, a maybe fifteen-year-old girl who looks a lot like him (right), an older European man with Touma's coloring, and a Japanese lady with Touma's smile. The girl and the woman are happy and laughing, the older man, despite his stern appearance, has cracked a smile, and Touma and Gaomon are completely relaxed.]
Mom, I can't believe you think the hotdogs are that good!
[That woman, oh, must be his mom:] You said they're Garden's finest!
[And the older man, quietly derisive:] Finest.
[The girl pouts and nudges him. Whines she:] Daddy.
[Touma chuckles lightly.] Father, Balamb Garden doesn't have our money. [His father opens his mouth to say something, but Touma goes on regardless.] And you never did like American food anyway. Now [and this is addressed to all four of them], where do you want to go next?
[The girl:] Your office!
Alright, Relena, my office it is.
[They start off. Touma's in a good enough mood that he offers a brilliant smile and a wave to everyone he sees, whether he knows them or not.]
Good afternoon!
