Today, I was reading a book in German, which I don't know very well. Suddenly I reached a passage I had no trouble understanding. Excited, I showed my husband, saying I was finally getting the hang of it. He laughed and patted my head. Turns out, that particular passage was a quote. In English. FML
I agree, your life sucks 11 372
You deserved it 38 317

Same thing different taste

Did you recently suffer a sharp blow to the head?

I'm fluent in two languages, learning a third at the moment. I mistake English sometimes...To those who are close minded about German, don't hate, it's a very useful language. Deutschland

Been there, done that, just in reverse. I was listening to a German song that had English parts to it (Rammstein - Stirb nicht vor Mir) and when the German verse gave over to the English verse, my brain didn't make the switch. I would sit there confused, trying to figure out what went wrong in my head that suddenly I couldn't understand German anymore. It was two months before I even realized that the verse wasn't in German, and finally found out why everyone laughed at me when the song would come on and I would complain that I've forgotten too much German.

today was my first day in spanish class, and as I had been studying all summer long I knew my spanish had gotten better... When the teacher began talking I found that I understood every word that she said! by the end of class I excitedly walked up to her wanting to show my excitment for the upcoming semester and about how i understood everything she said fluently.... until she explained she had been speaking engliksh all class long -_-
