further to Ayana's thread i dreamt of going to the dentist (something that scares me to death) but the dentist was nice and she didn't hurt me.
I'm ok - off for a power-walk |

Well I grew up speaking a dialect which has a more german pronounciation + a couple of german words. However, I can't think of any specific words that aren't dialect words. *thinking*

since you understand french (and german) do you know what a "vasistas" is ?
it's a french word for a small window - usually in a house basement or in the bathroom.
we joke it comes from the germans saying "was it das ? : une petite fenetre !!!"

Tihi, I'll remember that!
Btw, this reminds me of something; whenever I'm in France, people tend to think that I'm German, probably because my accent sounds German due to the dialect I grew up speaking. Anyhow, when I was in Paris 2 years ago, my mum and I went to this postcard kiosk on Champs-Elysées to ask whether he sold stamps. And the guy just replied to me in German! So I asked again in German whether he had stamps and he said he understood me the first time. But I think it's kinda rude just to assume that we were German. It was his luck that we did speak German but he could at least have asked first, me thinks. |

well, the 1st time i went to Israel, ppl kept on asking whether i was british or american....
must say none of them had ever heard a french person speaking english properly !
and some of them refused to believe me "nah ! french don't speak english ! they only speak french !!"
maybe it's because you're tall, have a fair complexion and ppl assume you're german - i don't know.
these germs like the Champs Elysees ya know !!!! |
