This doesnt make sense to me:

J'aime = I like, but Je t'aime = I LOVE you.

So how do you say "I like you" in French?

Also, just out of interest, does "Je ne t'aime pas" = I dont love you??

Not too sure, but maybe something about "my tears" or maybe "my eyes", and something possibly about laughter?

in the US there are so many from the northeast,southern twang,west coast ,jersey,boston,midwest etc...
many people in the US just assume the english as having one whole accent.
I can easily tell apart the english,irish ,scottish ,australian
accents.how many english are there? do you sometimes maybe mock a different regional dialect in a way that would be lost on an american?

Until recently, I had thought they were the same thing, then someone told me they were different. Someone else told me they were different dialects of the same language, which I completely buy. So, what's the authoritative answer? What are some of the differences in these dialects? (Unless you say they're different languages, in which case, what are the differences between the langauges?)

In China, "q" is pronounced "ch"; "c" is pronouced "ts" when preceding a vowel; "z" is pronounced "ts." In Korea, the name "Lee" is actually pronounced "Yi" and also spelled "Rhee," "Li," and "Yee." And I don't even know how to pronounce some Vietnamese names! Like Nguyen, for example, and Htohn. It's enough to drive me mad.
Who came up with this spelling system for converting Asian languages to English writing? Why not just spell it the way it sounds? Any insight you can give me is appreciated.
