"Mom, are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked as she tried to revive her mother.
Her mothers eyes shot open.
"Mom! Thank Celestia your'e awake!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. Hopefully her mother forgot what the conversation was about.
"Yes," said her mother "I am glad to be awake."
Phew! Sweetie Belle thought Dodged a bullet there.
"So I can sign you up for Therapy sooner!!!"
Bullet not dodged. Bullet taken right in the face.
"Why on earth would you want to learn Changeling?!?!" her mother screamed.
"Because-" Sweetie Belle started.
"Of all the languages in the world, you chose Changeling?" her mother continued.
"I just-" Sweetie tried to enter the conversation.
"Do you even know how those Ruffians live?"
"MOM!" now it was Sweetie Belle's turn to scream.
And it shut her mother right up.
"Someone told me... that we respect all species. No matter what their religion, coat colour, or history."
"What?" asked her mother "Who put those ridiculous ideas in your head?"
"You and Dad."
"Oh."
"It's not like I'm turning Changeling, right?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Listen, honey. I just don't want you to be associated with those Changeling's. They just have too much of a dark history. How about Japanese? Or Russian? Or how about French?" her mother persuaded.
"Okay, Okay." Sweetie Belle agreed.
"Good girl." said her mother.
"Now what else happened at school today?"
This, ladies and gentlemen, was my parents' reaction to my decision to speak Albanian.

Interesting. Do you speak Albanian now?
This story is actually based on something that happened. I told my parents I wanted to speak German. I just felt like I should learn a foreign language! My parents didn't react like the way yours did, though. They just thought that Germany had kind of a dark history, you know? I'm actually allowed to learn it now, but since I live in Canada, I noticed it wouldn't get me anywhere. French and English are the two main languages.
I hope you don't mind me asking but, what happened between you and Albania?
Don't tell me if it's personal.

I'm pretty sure her mother face hoofed herself in her mind.
Found a couple of small errors:
It should be mother's.
Misplaced the apostrophe there, it should go before the R.
Also, people have come up with a ponified version of the languages like Prench(French) and Neighponese(Japanese), but I can't remember the Russian equivalent right now. Just putting this out there in case you want to use them.
Liked the chapter, specially this part:

Thanks for the feedback. A lot of people seem to like that part, for some reason.

no need for capitalization there.
same and remove the apostrophe.
Don't these have pony gimmicks? Like... Neighponese?
Also in my mind the changeling language is the Greek one. HERP DERP I'm Greek! :P
