50K Before Wacken 2012

Btw. finished page 5 now. I can't believe I've been postponing this paper for so long, it's kinda easy to write... -.-

If I had done that way earlier, I could have a great time now that the weather is nice and I could have enjoyed the stuff I did instead way more without bad conscience... Why do I never, ever learn?

I didn't get myself to work the days before because my rhythm was totally screwed up and I can't start working in the middle of the night. When I finally got my rhythm back, my friends started harrassing me about going outside because of the awesome weather we had the past 3 days or something...

Best time to get stuff done is when you really really have to. At least I'm often like that but I know some are different

Cheers for the tip. I could handle cleaning myself with baby wipes for 4 days but I couldn't handle not washing my hair for that long. When I got back to my hotel in Hamburg I was in the shower for literally an hour.

I'm mainly worried about my hair too but I guess if I have to I'll just use ponytail or braid or something.

I am so packing dry shampoo this year. I'd never even heard of the stuff until I went to Bloodstock. By the end of the festival I forgot for a few minutes that I hadn't bathed in 4 days. It was the mud all over my clothes that gave it away

My kids told me to get dry shampoo but does it really work? (and answer was there already so forget this)

The pronounciation isn't really what's stopping a person from learning a language well, the use of Dutch is still very familiar to me even if I can't ask for an onion without people looking at me weirdly

That's true.

Some here can't believe me when I say I have bad games. But then I remember the pronounciation. It's slightly different for eyes, as for games. (yeux - jeux)

Same for fish / poison. (poisson - poison)

Inconciously you're continuing your work, and then one day... FLOEP, it works all at once!

Geeft niks, meisje. Ik ben al blij dat je 't niet bent vergeten.

The structure of a language weights way more than vocab when learning it

At least for me it is in a way easier to learn german using english as a base than using finnish as a base. English and german are more similar than finnish and german. And half of the time I think in (bad) english so why bother trying to learn finnish - german when I can try to learn english - german.

That's true.

Wow that's up there with "hear", "ear" and "year".

Possibly. Problem is that today it needs to work all at once because I want to hand it in tomorrow and I got no time to continue writing tomorrow

More or less yeah.

Like I said, I have to use French on a daily basis. I live in Francophonia. (Wallonia, Belgium)

 

[Sipyloidea]

I actually think those are pretty distinct...

Often you won't be able to hear the difference between "think" and "sink" when a German person pronounces it

I still think it would be nice to be able to speak any other language with some form of fluency My father and his mother argued until the day she died about whose responsibility it was to teach my brother and me Italian. It was only when I went to Italy that I realised neither were particularly fit for the job

My Japanese teacher in primary school wasted too much time teaching religion so we learnt fuck-all. My Japanese teacher in high school was actually Japanese but it was only half a year of classes half a lifetime ago so I don't recall very much. Same for French.

"We are sinking... we are sinking..."
"What are you sinking about?"

Last night I couldn't hear any difference between Ofen and offen
