Sometimes it's hard not to laugh...<BR/><BR/>A student of mine sees the verbe "se soucier" (to worry about, reflexive verb) for the first time. She tries to conjugate :<BR/><BR/>- "Je souce" ... prononced as "Je suce" <BR/><BR/>... which means...<BR/><BR/>:DZhuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04647080453451925072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-30076862935051517872007-05-16T22:46:14.358+02:002007-05-16T22:46:14.358+02:00Yeah, Japanese seems to be a fun language. I don't know how well it relates to English but I'm sure if you don't know French THAT well then a French-to-Japanese class would be about as fun as throwing a hammer into the air and catching it in your mouth.<BR/><BR/>I have a great love and respect for Japanese culture and I plan to visit there someday. Maybe I'll make a whole bunch of money with this book-writing and I'll be able to travel a bit.T.D.

I am making a half-assed attempt at learning Japanese (via free podcasts from japanesepod101.com) but I've listened to enough Japanese audio via anime and video games to be semi-familiar with some expressions. The weird thing is that I ALWAYS feel self-conscious when I try to SAY something in Japanese. It's the weirdest thing.<BR/><BR/>This kind of stuff makes your relationship special. Funny, too, of course, but special to the two of you.<BR/><BR/>"Remember when I used to say 'liquid poo'???"T.D.

Another fave:<BR/>je suis chaud (or chaude, for a girl) instead of the correct expression j'ai chaud. The former meaning "I'm turned on", the latter "I'm a bit warm".<BR/>They may laugh at our mangling of their language, but we get our revenge when they attempt English :)<BR/>Don't worry Princesse, I'm sure your French is way better than you think it is, and once you're back in Frogland it will improve at lightning speed.Lis of the Northhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298005506332989095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-32800964076873153962007-05-15T22:56:29.632+02:002007-05-15T22:56:29.632+02:00hahaha I can't stop laughing at 'liquid poo'!!!Princesse Ecossaisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938659907086018288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-11446024743930924602007-05-15T22:28:31.458+02:002007-05-15T22:28:31.458+02:00D'OH!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>haha, thats just priceless.<BR/><BR/>TomCColbyPantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04857950109733297202noreply@blogger.com
