Hey Dottie!

The first part of the sentence meant that I didn´t know you are talking a little German! And I would be the last one to laugh about  someone speaking a foreign language...hey, I don´t want people to laugh about me here either! (Apart from really funny mistakes. ;D).

Yeah, translation software does funny things, and not only Bablefish!

Love,
Dagi

English. I love the English language. I remember my very first English lesson at school like it was yesterday. It was almost like an epiphany to me. It was so easy, I had a feeling like I already knew everything the teacher showed us. Of course it was the teacher's proficiency which made it so easy for me. For our very first lesson, she draw little pics/icons of nouns which are the same or very similar in German and English on the blackboard. For example finger, ring, house/Haus, hand, mouse/Maus and so on. I knew from the very first lesson that this was what I wanted to do, what I wanted to learn, and learn it well.
It showed I have a talent for it and I did learn it well, but since I've never lived in an English speaking country I'm still not as good as I'd like to be.

On a more practical note, it would be more reasonable to choose another language than English. I already am able to communicate in English, but I'm not able to do so in a third language. My second choice would be Spanish.

Wow.  That just made my day, David.  Nobody misses me like that anymore.  Or so I thought.  :)

For four effin days you did, Chrissi!  :-*


I picked French.  I used to speak pretty good French.  I can communicate at a basic level in German, Spanish, Italian and American Sign Language.

English is my first language, Spanish a kinda half-ass 2nd, so in a 3rd language, probably French.  I love the way French sounds - while I was in Paris, I got the impression that I might pick it up fairly quickly if I stayed long enough.

Though actually, I always dreamed about being fluent in many languages, not just the Romance languages.
