I almost spilled my coffee :-)<br /><br />I have few language skills. I can read French and Spanish and a little bit of Russian, but my speaking skills are well. BAD. I can say "free beer" in most tongues but anything else I attempt will likely be viewed as an insult to one's mother/sister/country or an invitation to a congress of the sexual nature. So I usually just keep quiet.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-6101063841232740742009-07-29T23:20:28.379-05:002009-07-29T23:20:28.379-05:00Keep on hanging on Phlegmmy! re the rest, yeah pr...Keep on hanging on Phlegmmy! re the rest, yeah pretty much agree, he thinks it's ALL about him...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-13436826650858250492009-07-29T16:07:03.292-05:002009-07-29T16:07:03.292-05:00Welcome to the club.

At least your callers are generally on the same continent. <br /><br />More than once I've found my accent 'accidentally' slipping into Apu mode when things get tense and they don't understand Texan. Oddly, they think I'm from Bangalore and suddenly it's old home week.

I fail in communicating with body language and expression while navigating the aisles of Wal Mart. There must be some definite term to relate the displeasure of trying to push a loaded basket through a mob of obese loiterers that fail to understand the rudeness of blocking access while catching up with current events. While they may find their conversation important, I don't care about them, or their third cousin with the anal fissures.Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-14720954773203653712009-07-29T09:08:55.523-05:002009-07-29T09:08:55.523-05:00Been there, done that, with German (which I rememb...Been there, done that, with German (which I remember a smattering of).<br /><br />B Woodman<br />IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-7532208861378876742009-07-29T05:48:57.765-05:002009-07-29T05:48:57.765-05:00For what it's worth, I took Spanish in high sc...For what it's worth, I took Spanish in high school and am currently learning French, and find myself often doint the same type of thing.
