Luckily I had half an hour inbetweem, which I used for read something in Spanish, so not to get blocked. At least, Japanese and Spanish had a similar pronunciation, so that is something.

Yes, that makes it easier, though sometimes you get words like "manga". In Spanish, it means "sleeve", and in Japanese, it refers to the comics.
On a side note, I just got into AVID~! I'll be enrolled in that class in my junior year~.

Oh yes, there are a number of faux amis (I don't know Japanese, but I've been told about that). There is also the word "no" which it's a negation in English, Spanish and many other languages while it means something like "of" in Japanese.

Yes, "no" in Japanese is used as a possessive. For example, "Watashi no hon" would mean "book of mine" or "my book".

Hey! Interesting topic!
I am from Brazil. I don't know exactly how my degrees translate to american universities, but I have a law degree and a social scienses degree. I also have a masters in political sciense from the University of São Paulo, and I am currently getting my PhD in political sciense here.
Interesting to see the other posts from people mostly from the humanities. :)

I have a BA majoring in Computer Science and Philosophy and minors in Math and Physics. I work in a tech support call center and really like it, even though my days often feel like this.
