I miss English

Post by Captain Sousie »

Sometimes after being in a small town in Italy you really start to miss being able to communicate effectively. I really need to learn a couple of foreign languages.

I miss American. Right now, with me in the teachers' lounge at work are two Singaporeans, 1 Aussie, 1 New Zealander, and 1 Brit. They say I spell things funny.

I'm on a 5 week tour of Europe. I started in Germany and am now in Switzerland after seeing Austria and Italy.

That's the beauty of summer vacation.

I miss it most if I turn on the TV. I recently heard a woman talk about her husband and his good work "ethnic".
You can't make this stuff up......

[To use one of my "favorite" misuses of English...]

You "should of" been prepared for it. :roll:

I guess the scenery (and bier) make up for the language barrier though.
