Okay, the game is this. I will start a discussion in Japanese since I speak it. The next person to decipher what I say will have to answer my question and continue the conversation IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.
So the rules are,
a) keep the conversation going, and ask at least one question.
b) only answer in a different language. No two languages can be next to each other
c) be innovative! We want as many different languages on here as possible.
So here we go. Starting off Japanese.
Konnichiwa. Watashi no namae wa Mamie desu. Kyou wa samui desu. Watashi wa kaze wo hiite imasu. Anata wa genki desu ka?

Hai, wo hen hao, xie xie ni. Wo jiao Echu-do. Ni hao ma?

Note/Question: Since you posted your's up at 1 in the morning wouldn't it be Ohayoo Gozaimasu instead of Konnichiwa? Ohayoo gozaimasu is Good morning as Konnichiwa is Good afternoon.

((Sorry, was that too hard. The language was Hmong, if that helps. And about the Konnichiwa thing, wouldn't it be Konbanwa since it was evening?^^))

Leider trinke ich lieber Orangensaft. Und ich glaube, dass etwas los ist, wenn Franzoesisch, Italienisch und Spanisch nicht europaeische Sprachen sind. Was isst du denn am liebsten?

*note*Romance languages are european... all of them.

It would actually be written like this: Oui, ca va bien, merci. Ma nationnalité est demi-japonaise, demi-anglaise. Quelle est ta nationnalitée?
(My mother tong is French. You're lucky to live in New Zealand, I always wanted to live there, or visit.)
@xsilverstar97x: I have no idea what that says... I even looked it up online EVERYWHERE.
