My Georgian textbook includes this memorable sentence:
"That foreign woman was in the fish shop yesterday." Oh, the times I've needed to say that exact sentence but been stuck for words... Years ago I heard a song on the radio that had lyrics taken word for word from an old Spanish textbook. It was actually a really beautiful song but I can't remember the singer or the title. If anyone knows what I'm talking about I'd love to hear it again. Edited by TixhiiDon on 18 January 2010 at 3:55am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
