It will happen. I don't know when yet. I will find out more sometime this week when I see the specialist. The recent hemhorage indicates (I think) that it will be sooner than I had hoped.
HAHAHA. That because you're not here to watch my periodic freakouts. I have these little panic attacks about retarded things like not being able to crochet, or not being able to see what my clothes look like... it's weird. It's the little stuff that freaks me out the most.
Which seems perfectly normal to me. As it is the little things that make you realise how important big things are. Am I talking gibberish already? Let me just quote a nice song that springs to mind:
Before I met you baby the little things in life just passed me by the sound of children laughing the tune of a forgotten lullaby
I am quoting by heart, not that it matters much. I think you get the idea. It is by a band called Green on Red by the way.
I once taped an album by them once, but they really opened my eyes with an acoustic session for the Dutch radio. 3 songs and all as brilliant as I could imagine. Somehow they never made many more albums, nor have I bothered searching for them. I guess they must have split up by now. Most bands from the late eighties have.
Oops! Had to read my own comment to see what you meant. Typical case of my brain going faster than my typing skills can afford. Where do you put a word in a sentence? Is it an excuse if I claim not to be a native speaker?
That's definitely a good excuse, although I've often done that myself. Englist is funny in the fact that our word order is very flexible. Usually it's a case of emphasis.
Yes. I know how frustrating it is to learn the subtleties of another language and culture andhow tiring it is to communicate in a language not your own.
Wow. You're right. You are fluent. And French stopped being tiring after the first few months or so. But these days I don't use it much. I did manage to have a conversation in German last week at church, though. I draw a lot of satisfaction from moments like that.
I know what you mean. I have the same when I make myself understood in Italian. I do not speak much, but using my spanish and some correct words, I can have a simple conversation. Good moments.
Sounds horrible though, that language. Don't get me wrong, I can manage, I grew uo 30km from the border, my dialect is halfway there. Yet it doesn't sound like a friendly language. It doesn't help their image.
