<p>It was quite the adventure, wasn’t it?</p>
<p>Sigh, I’m wrapped up in them again. It’s like a drug…</p>
<p>I wish I spoke German.</p>
<p>I love my 366 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar. It’s so hilarious.</p>
<p>Usually, about once a week, I’ll include languages in my prayer before bed. It’s usually something along the lines of, “Dear God, can you PLEASE make me learn ten languages to fluency before I wake up tomorrow? That would really be great.” Then I list the languages, which change sometimes, but it’s usually about ten of them. German is always included.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that German almost became the language of the US government, but it lost by one vote. There were a lot of German immigrants in Pennsylvania where they held the Constitutional Convention. I’ll see if I can verify that. That would have been waaaay better to have as a language. The US should have gotten complete independence from those brazen Brits. Keeping their icky language was stupid.</p>
<p>I wish I spoke Spanish. And Italian. And Russian. And French.</p>
<p>Teach me something useful in French, Canadian.</p>
<p>For example.</p>
<p>Ooh Ooh, yak teach us how to say “Of course I speak French.”</p>
<p>Phonetically, of course.</p>
<p>YES.</p>
<p>I finished my lab report. And my calculus homework. Le sigh.</p>
<p>French is hard to write out phonetically. But maybe you can write it down if someone asks you. “Mais bien sûr que je parle français.”</p>
<p>Try. </p>
<p>Oh Scranton.</p>
<p>I’ve heard “je parle francais” before, it’s the “mais bien sur que” bit that needs to be sounded out. I’ll add the French accent.</p>
<p>Here we go. I don’t speak French, so take this with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>May byawn soor kuh zhuh parl frawn-say.</p>
<p>See, that wasn’t so bad, Rocker.</p>
<p>Figures.</p>
<p>The more I think about Sarah Palin the angrier I get.</p>
<p>All right, here’s my attempt.</p>
<p>Maiy bee-uh(french sounding n thingy) sue-r(soft r) kay sh/j(sort of inbetween)e parlay fraun-say.</p>
<p>I bet this is entertaining the Canadian.</p>
<p>Tell me a Canadian adventure.</p>
<p>[German</a> the Official US Language?](<a href=“http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa010820a.htm]German”>What if German was the Official US Language?)</p>
<p>Apparently, it was only a vote to translate laws into German. The other story is propaganda from the American Nazi party. Wonderful.</p>
<p>I like my interpretation better.</p>
<p>I’m eating a siopao, I’m so Asian.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Kuh and parl. JB did it pretty well. The problem with me is that I start to be a perfectionist about pronunciations and “byawn” doesn’t sound right to me. Mike’s “bee-uh(french sounding n thingy)” actually looks better, if you know what a french n sounds like.</p>
<p>Canadian adventure.</p>
<p>I don’t see any difference between Canadian and American.</p>
