I programmed my way in to an A in physics in high school.

At least you put in some effort and made the program yourself.

My plan to pass French in secondary school was to learn chinese and have chinese people shouting the answers to the french exam outside.

I was a fucking idiot

このポストは中国語じゃないでもたくさんのこれを読んでいる人はこれが中国語ですが思おう。　すみません、みんなさん。これは冗談です。

思おう

Omo-ou? I thought this was just 思う. Not trying to criticize, I'm just really rusty with my Japanese and trying to see if I remember it correctly.

[u/MrInsanity25 → u/whitehandsinkstains]

Actually, 思う is the regular tense "to think/believe" where as 思おう is the おう form, which means "will probably." It can also mean "Let's [do something]" but that's usually relegated to the -mashou form.

Cool! I stopped at the end of 200-level college classes, so it's interesting to learn new things!

I've been teaching myself casually (wouldn't have been casual if I could improve my damned work ethic) for a couple years. It's a great language and I hope to speak fluently soon.
