Mais non, mais Je parle francais!!!


No, but I speak french. Comes in handy sometimes.
Sunday I went to a flea market and as I was walking up and down the ailes (there were 50 tables just with jewelry so I was in heaven. I saw two women with hand crafted jewelry and one of them had a french accent. I started to speak to her in french and then I spent the next 30 minutes babbling my fool head off. Never had so much fun.

And the best part, she thought I was french?? Now THAT is a compliment.

Haven't spoken it that long since I worked for a german company where I had to speak french, english, and if a german telex came in, I had to read it phonetically over the phone to my boss.

Now I told him "I speak french, italian, some spanish and of course english, but I do not speak german". His reply "no one can read german phonetically as well as you, just read me the telex over the phone". I did and he said "I understood everything you just read to me'.

I said "I'm glad someone did because I didn't know one word of what I said".

German is similar to english but I never learned it.

But I'm still young!!!
lol
