If you sit underneath my shelf when the crash happens, you can't say you weren't warned! Hostile needlecraft decoration is an excellent way to deter theft or other interference, by the way. So far it has always worked. Anyone who sees that Go Away pillow knows I'm serious. .

I have the same German dictionary as you! Or should I say that one of my German dictionaries is the same as yours! Bottom shelf, next to big green Italian book. It's
quite odd, because, I was just sitting in my room, and then I saw it, sitting at the front of my desk. It had never been there before... I had never even owned that book! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You know you're a language nerd when you're jealous of everyone else because you have only 5 language books to your name.

And I certainly had one like it, although it did suffer damage to and loss of part of its spine cover, and I haven't seen it lately. I think I have to report it injured and missing in action. One thing I loved about it was the collection of phonetic alphabets ("Able, Baker, Charlie", etc) near the back. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's weird because I didn't even know that I had it, I think someone just put it there... Maybe I sleep-stole it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When you're about to move more than 1500 kilometers southwards of your hometown for the
sake of higher education, and by far the most painful quandary that life throws your way is having to choose between your target languages. *sigh* Should I pack Teach Yourself German along with Tatort- Deutsch als Fremdsprache graded readers, or Assimil Spanish with Ease with a pocket dictionary and Harry Potter y la Cámara Secreta? 3 persons have voted this message useful |
