Marco..
Thanks for the German lessons..
When I first decided to learn the subject in school .I had a look at it and other than the script,which reminded me of old English the language had quite a few words that were recognizable as close to English...that suckered me and I barely scraped through with a passing grade but did well at partying,beer drinking,skirt chasing and all the other important things a teenaged hoodlum enjoyed..
I spent my honeymoon in Holland,and I don't even pretend to understand Dutch..and am very gratefull that where ever I have gone,I have found English speakers..and that were more than anxious to practice their English on me..
Taking the coward's way out ,I soon dropped my feeble attempts at THEIR language..
I speak(Or did at one time) a little Italian(Lived a year in Italy) A little German..A little FRench....Am fluent in English ,Profane,and Newfanese,b'y....
I really admire those that are multilingual..
