50K Before Wacken 2012

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

Do you sink sat you can sink sat ship?

But, that's also got to do with the spoken language you are used to. You think you hear "this", but it appears to be "that". But that's something your ears are used to hear. That's difficult to get rid of.

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.

I just counted how many years I've been studying different languages.
english - 13 years
swedish - 11 years
german - 2 years

Someone might think that I can speak swedish almost as well as english but actually my swedish "skills" are about the same as my german "skills"

I did 3 semesters of Spanish, but I can't remember most of it. Did a semester of German too, but that was after I was already learning it. Since it was a beginning German class, I aced it.

The class was easy but it was fun already knowing everything. The teacher loved me because my sentences in writing assignments were more complex than "Die pizza ist gut."

Oh and I also had a project I did on Wacken, and another assignment where I death-growled the conjugations of "sein".

You'd think easy classes would be boring, but not always.

Lot of german words are actually close to english or swedish words so I might be able to learn them easier except die, der, das part. No logic there!

The genders confuse me. The cases I can figure out, but you have to learn every single gender of every single noun. And I know very few. I had to look up 'pizza' just now.

It was the same with swedish but only en and ett there. Still just have to know it and there is no logic. So yes finnish has some hard parts but it's not the only language

I planned on being in bed long before this, therefore I'll be off in a jiffy!
