I am so impressed you found this! I would have had to go looking for it. My latest language nerdiness: Today I was watching X-Men: First Class, and I was amused that I knew all languages being spoken. I didn't need subtitles for the German or the Spanish (my Russian isn't that advanced), and I was annoyed when they broke a scene to go back into English. I realize it was for dramatic purposes, but the language nerd in me was complaining that it would never be like that if those discussions had been happening for real. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

....I do that all the time, even though I only know a hundred fifty characters.... But most of the time it's like 愛 or 幸 福 or 和平 or something like that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

- when you're absolutely heartbroken at learning that a website with many books in Finnish only ship to Finland.
- when you find out that "Get/Got off the car," something you've been saying since forever, is not correct but merely something most people you know adopted from Spanish. You are now on a mission to find more peculiar tidbits between Spanish and English. - Kat Edited by Phantom Kat on 06 June 2011 at 10:30pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
