Not embarrassing for me at all, but I walked into baseball workouts with all the jocks today, and one of my friends who didn't know I was learning Na'vi yells across the lobby:

"Hey, Seth! Can you answer something?"

Me: "Yeah, sure."

Him: "Is it true that you are learning the Avatar language?" (Almost hissed at him, but refrained)

Me: "Heck yeah! I'll admit to that any day brother."

Funny story.

heh, I think I've told everyone I know that I'm learning Na'vi. I guess I've just stopped caring about what people think about me. :P

I've started calling my guy friends brother. Not around too many girls though, but when I am, I call them sister.

Well, I was figuring I was immune to this thread other than being a casual observer but I was just talking to my parents on the phone and they said good bye and I was about to say "kiyevame" but stopped myself. That wouldn't have been embarrassing except that after I caught myself I (no joke) forgot how the English word for "goodbye". It only lasted a second but it really caught me off guard. Still weirded out by that (in a good way).

Skxawng

I was on the pooper today, practicing pronunciation on my phone and when I got up I didn't realize there was another person in the bathroom, 3 stalls down who was sitting there quietly the whole time while i was speaking nothing but Na'vi. I left quickly.

Best one so far xD

As for myself, everyone who I've told that I'm learning Na'vi has laughed at me. I also keep throwing in Na'vi words into sentences when asking my friends and lecturers things too without noticing :-\

Yeah, most of my friends aren't that supportive either.

Today on the marta train I whipped out my laptop to listen to some tunes and study vocab with Taronyu's excellent dictionary. My desktop is of course a hawt picture of Neytiri and I noticed the guy sitting next to me stealing a looks while my computer finished booting up. Once I had the dictionary open I zoomed in extra far to make sure he could read the words if he wanted to. I translated Neytiri's "But you are stupid, ignorant like a child!" and saved it to my workbook but I think he got scared and lost interest  :-[

not really embarrasing but funny  :D

Today, a couple people in my math class were being real meskxawng. They nearly hit me several times, and it took all I had to prevent myself from hissing at them.
