Something I don't like about Germans

[phesina]

I think this is fabulous, all you folks who have people with different languages and cultures almost right next door. You pick up your neighbors' languages just from familiarity, and you're interested in learning about others' languages and customs.

It would be like, say I decide to go 50 miles south to Ohio to visit Phred and Mary, and they speak a whole different language and have different customs from me so we have to figure out how to communicate. (Well, I've met Phred and found that he speaks about the same as I do, but I don't know about Mary.)

Actually, I can go about 50 miles east to a whole different foreign country, and THEY don't even talk much differently from us!

I learned how to speak spanish from my parents and read and spell it from reading the comics from the spanish cartoon strips. The Phantom and Peanuts (Fantasma and Rabanitos)-

Later on I learned that Rabanitos are not Peanuts.......They are radishes!
