This afternoon, I've been working on compiling some pages of phrases in the languages we'll be needing.
Confession of a language nerd:
-this is getting me more excited than the purchase of my plane ticket.
I'm pretty excited to get to try (and most likely fail miserably...but with a smile on my face...) speaking and comprehending all of these languages. I can't wait to be sitting in a cafe in france, hearing french swirling around me...attempting to order le cafe liegeois without butchering the language and being hated. lol
my plan for surviving the hatred of the french in regards to the american massacre of their language:
...if i don't know how to say it...i'm just going to throw a little espanol pronounciation in there...throw them off a bit. :) maybe they won't hate me as much if i mis-pronounce with a spanish slant than with a wretched american one. :)
So yeah, i'm pretty stoked to just have a foreign language of some type or another constantly surrounding me. my goal: to speak the rudiments of french, italian, and german while i'm there...use english as a total last resort. (note that i left out greek. i think i'll be lucky to recognize 'good day' and 'train station' by the time i leave...lol...) we shall see how well i do. Es demasiado malo que yo no va a espana...que puede ser que tenga exito alli!!! maybe. ;)
Bon soir, mon amis. :)

I'll will probably be forever in awe if you somehow master to speak french without ever taking a french class. French, in my limited experience, is an awesome language but not one easily spoken. I can't wait to hear you speak it! haha
You should have a voice recorder
It would be great to hear some of these
^_^
I hope you enjoy your "french" escargot experience retard.
listen betch! i can't believe that you are going and leaving me here to deal with "him". i will forgive you only on one condition...you promise to kiss a greecian man while in greece. if you don't do this...i might start to think that you do not care about me, and i will cry, and you will laugh, and i will hit you, and then you will cry! so anyway...
from "shoes"
It is a shame that you are not going to Spain to practice tu español, que pena! It is a great thing that you are getting to travel and have French roasted coffee on France ;D.
