Alice's Brain vs Languages

[wonderlanded]

My dad rang today. (The phone actually rang as I was in the gas chamber at Auschwitz. Thankfully, I had switched the phone to silent and called him back later. More on the visit later when I have collected my thoughts about it

Polish is a really hard language to learn, even when you grew up with a Polish dad like I did. I can still understand far more than I can speak, so just nod a lot :)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on going to Auschwitz. It's a really affecting place.

Giraffe!

100,000 Icelanders can't be wrong.

Heee! Oh, that's priceless, it really is. My brain does the same thing sometimes, I start speaking French and then segue into Spanish for no apparent reason.

Have you managed to get your brain back by bribing it with vodka?

Hee! I'm learning French and whenever I try to form a sentence it's like I'm using the foreign language muscle, and German comes out instead.

Also, hello! Thank you for friending me. I fell off of lj last year but I am getting properly back on again so thanks :)

Hee. I laugh because I've been there.

Also, my sister and I both have a habit of picking up on accents, quite unknowingly, and then turning bright red when somebody else points this out.

Hope you're having fun. Looking forward to vacation photos.
