Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

Zoe was very impressed with how well the construction people had done in rebuilding the school, and the grounds had been cleared just in time for the picnic to welcome the new students and teachers. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs, one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE. OCD IS UP. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. Part two is happening simultaneously here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

"Yes," said Hoshi with a big smile on her face. "My tutors said that I can learn new languages a lot faster than most people. I speak English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Czech..."

She's not showing off, really. But when you're on pace to learn 40 different languages by age 22, it's going to be a really long list.

Sam gaped, clearly impressed. "Wow, I--whoa. You could be very popular around here with language skills like that. I know Latin, and I'm familiar with a few others, but I still need dictionaries for most of the translating. Do you want to be some kind of translator when you're done with school?"

"It's not that bad when you can understand that tehre's a basic underlying structure to all languages. Even math is just a language," said Hoshi. "I'd like to be a translator, but I think eventually I could come up with a way of automating translations from one language."
