I find that so many Spanish words are very close to the French counterpart. College level math was not my thing, but I did have a love of the French language, and just find languages in general to be fascinating. I should do myself a favor and enroll in a Spanish course.
I always dreamed of going to France but of course the muslims have ruined it and the rest of the world, so I will not be going to see it. French Quebec would be a distant second to old France.
I won’t return to Germany either. I was there around the time O’bummer gave his Hilteresque speech in Berlin.
When I was in Munich, there were plenty of muslim women in burqas in the shopping districts we visited. I can only imagine how much worse it is 9 years later than I was there.
I feel rather funny saying this as I haven’t pursued it, but languages intrigue me also.
It’s my goal to learn four or five over the next ten years or so.
Is that checkered dress picture photoshopped to make her look heavy?
No.
It's from one of many stories on the net about a time when Moochie Obama reportedly put on 95 pounds after moving into the White House.
(All that taxpayer paid lobster and Kobe steak?)
Wow...
So nice to have Melania as FLOTUS :)
Well, I am the same! I love languages. I would love to add Spanish to the French I know. Really, I could use a refresher course in French as well. It’s been 30 years since college French class. My sister took French in high school, and still loves what she learned. Sometimes we use the French we still remember when we talk. We always say that if we went to France (which we won’t anymore) we could get along fine because we know how to ask for all the essentials. Like “where is the bathroom?”. LOL. “Ou est le W.C.?” And we could order food and find lodging.
Someday, maybe I’d go to French Quebec. Try out the old French skills there. Who knows, sounds like an adventure!
Glad I found another language lover! I thought I was the only one!
Our Vietnam POWs devised a way to communicate with tapping on the floor. I guess they used rocks or something. While writing this, I decided to look it up. HERE (videos don't work)
This was the first time I have seen the method they used.
Surprising to me, is the knowledge that while tinkering here at my desk last year, I came up with something similar on my own. I wanted to be able to encode dates. I used a grid myself.
QIY is today's date. Y/M/D I find these sorts of things fascinating.
Take care.
Coded language is a bit above my “pay grade” although I did enjoy the story of the enigma codes on a history channel once. The Navajo wind talkers rings a bell too.
Besides languages, I also find regional American accents to be interesting.
Keep those awesome elegant First Lady pics coming!
