hyper223 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 English - american born German - Germans will disagree as to my fluency, but I seem to be able to communicate after 4-5 years studying it. Thai - I won't starve. Always fun to play the trained dog when Thai people don't believe I can really read menus. Them: "Farang - I don't believe you can read Thai. Farang can't read Thai." Me: "<bark!> That says KHAO PAD MED MA MUANG HIM PAAN" Them: "Oh, you're such a clever farang, here's a biscuit." Me: "<BARK!>" Mandarin Chinese - hey, I date girls that don't speak english. But there's a lot of round-about conversations. Can't read menus. The Thai menus are nice enough to say "RICE AND FRIED CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS" in Thai script. The Chinese menus say something like "magical five-spiced bird with glorious berries from the heavens." And given their 10,000 character alphabet, that can be hard to read sometimes. If I'm *lucky* the character for chicken is in there, although god knowns what part of it. Japanese - Uh... "kono densha wa, doko ni ikimasuka?" (where does this train go?) It's good enough to help pick up on girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_TGT Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 If 4 billion of women.... then there's a definite shortage of men.. ok, the latest estimations are 6.6 billion people in August 2006. Then there would be 'just' 3.3 billion women. 700,000,000 less to missunderstand them. Thanks u made my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
