learn italian so we can think up nicknames for fred that will go with the last name!

 

[azal]

learn serbian so I can have someone to make fun of everybody else with in a different language.

 

[xfer]

bitte.

when i was in high school german, i used to severely and purposefully incorrectly overuse "toll." it really means "exciting" but i used it constantly as "cool," in a very idiomatically english way. i kept my german teacher (in her 20s, from austria) in stitches. absolutely.

Ja ich mochte deutsche sprechen und lernen gern. Es is sehr interresant, aber ich habe nicht zu viel Zeit zu es lernen!

 

[tar]

that last sentence seems kind of incorrect to me!

 

[avi]

yeah, I think you have an extra zu or sumtin. not that I know the correct way to say it.

I looked at UC Berkeley's extension catalogue for taking Swedish yesterday, but that shit is crazy expensive.

 

[tar]

nicht so viel is what i meant to write, not nicht zu. also i don't know if i need the last "es"

i once was able to remember enough italian to converse with an italian girl on the train once while en route to venice. i butchered alot of the words and she was butchering english so we had something in common.

So what is the allure of the fascist languages?

Should I retort in broken English?

 

[avi]
