That's so cool. I don't care what people might think, cooking over fire is an art. Done right, you know.
Is anyone here bilingual?
How did you pick it up?My Dutch would be a LOT better if it wasn't for the Dutch locals switching to English as soon as they pick up on my accent.
I used to talk to an ex girlfriend in Gujarati if we didn't want surrounding friends to hear our conversation. A very limited amount though.
Oh, and I can speak Australian too. I mean, they call it English, but we all know it isn't.
First I heard HBO Max only. Then theaters & HBO Max. Then Blu-Ray too. I have no idea what it's coming out on at this point.I hope Warner Bros decides to release Zack Snyder's Justice League on Blu-ray. I'm hearing great reviews and we finally get to see Zack Synder's original vision for his film and not someone else's botched attempt.
How did you pick it up?
I took 4 years of Spanish in high school. I can read it pretty well but have a hard time understanding it spoken other then words & phrases. Just need to expose myself more to it, maybe?

You're overseas. Makes sense.I have Dutch in-laws who don't necessarily speak the best English. They're of a particularly native speaking generation, and have lived in a small 'no name' town for pretty much their entire life. I've spent a lot of time over there so I've gradually picked things up over the years. My Brother in-law's cousin speaks NO English at all.
Of course, when you head into Amsterdam it's of no practical use at all because everyone speaks English. But if you're straddling the Dutch/German border then it's extremely handy to have your Dutch down. Not even the young generation will speak English and things can get really awkward VERY fast. (What would you think if I said "slagroom" to you? LOL)
My brother in-law (sister's husband) speaks fluent English, German and Flemish. Which is handy because my German is absolutely shocking. I think my Korean is better actually.
If you stay in a country long enough (or regularly enough) you'll pick things up really fast. There's no replacement for actually being there.
How is it not permanent? Isn't it something they either do it or they don't?I'm pretty bored this evening and daylight savings is messing with me. Why can't politicians accept all the evidence for why daylight saving time is a horrible, horrible idea? There's talk in Ontario of making it permanent. That would mean kids would be walking to school in the dark at 8am in December and January. Insane nonsense.
How'd you pick it up?*raises hand* I also speak German. Though not very fluently at the moment. I'm out of practice.

I'm trying to get better at the hearing part.
I know, right! She's been gone a week!!Good to see you back, Miss Isaiah.
Good to see you back, Miss Isaiah.
Oh, I thought it'd been at least a month since I last saw her.I know, right! She's been gone a week!!
Hehe, thanks! I took a bit of a break from CF because I was getting slightly obsessive about checking threads and reading replies.

Right, I had recalled you announcing that you intended to do that, and so I figured I should welcome you back properly as any knight would do for a well-respected lass who's returned from her spiritual journey.
Absolutely. Chef’s Table is a great series on Netflix. They’ve profiled some wonderful people. Definitely up your alley!
You sure it's me you're thinking of, and not Sampa?
When she left for a while, I thought she had come here to post for advice about her crush, and then left again once she'd gotten what she wanted.
