Hey, you did get it after all!
It's a fun language, in the same language family as Australian (as should be obvious.)
Classes and books can really only take you so far. I’ve gained my mastery of languages by immersing myself in the culture. Take austrian, for example - I bought myself some lederhosen and moved to Canberra for a couple of weeks. I speak the language like a native now.
Pardon my ‘Smartass reply”.
Got distracted when reading your second post and failed to completely comprehend it.
Brain fart....
Please accept my apology....:-)
You don’t have anything to apologize for. Text-based communication leaves lots of opportunities for misunderstandings. I usually use the /s tag to avoid any confusion, but sometimes I get lazy.
Thank you for clearing things up.
