Welcome Pho! Enjoy the forums.

Welcome Ser Kenneth. Enjoy the forums!

Thanks for welcoming me, Underfoot, Phantom!

Someone else using my same username and studying the same language is kinda weird...

And arabic is pretty difficult, true, but persian it's easier to study.

It has a less complicated grammar and the words not too difficult to vocalize.

Don't know farsi at all, I stopped at arabic :lol:

Vocalizing is pretty damn hard, yes. Especially ḥāʾ, Kha, gha and ayn. Which all sound like you're hacking up something fierce.

Hello! I'm using this to re-delurk, since I didn't introduced myself the first time I posted. I hope it's alright.

I'm an university student, studying arabic and persian languages and cultures. I became a fan of Asoiaf about an year ago, when a friend told me to try out the books,

and now, well, I'm waiting for ADWD.

I read also others fantasy and sci-fi books, with a preference for the latter. I've got a little bit of interest in gardening and agriculture, too.

And in historical fencing, partly because of GRRM's books. And in anything related to the ocean. All things I can't do, sadly.

Not easy languages those two. Welcome, Welcome!

Welome to the forums Salome Sand Witch and Richard Starke!

And what better way to start your lives on this fantastic forum than to join our lovely debate here.

Hey everyone.

I've been lurking around for a while now and finally decided to join in on the fun. I've been a fan of ASOIAF since '04 and have read and re-read all the books.

At the moment, I'm in Tokyo finishing up my bachelor's degree but I hope the next place I'm headed will have HBO because I can't wait for the television adaptation of the series!
