They're around, but not so-much-so that they have an effect. You've lost the battle but not the war, perhaps? No way is right, really, but I have to stall a moment as figure out what was just said to me.<br /><br />I don't want to seem presumptuous though! I know at least two other people who would also love it, one of which I'm close enough that I could hardly argue with their going. The post names... I know. I just wanted to be different in some way.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530490398283237371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363964578806820625.post-26883165186429366212011-12-18T18:38:33.848+00:002011-12-18T18:38:33.848+00:00Really?!

I have been to London my fair share of times and there was always so many languages around, but maybe because London is so touristy and diverse. But at least you can always get on a train and be in a different country. I agree, especially since I'm the biggest soccer or football xD) fan ever and I just want to correct everyone and set them straight but now I just say soccer. It's a lost cause...<br /><br />That is true, if I can learn a second language I can learn a third is my motto.You probably can! or just go for a visit which is always better then nothing. I can tell your serious about French if your post names are nay indication haha<br /><br />They certainly are helpful that's for sure ((:Racquel (A Book Barbie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12084566299114982926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363964578806820625.post-47869027567297718402011-12-17T12:55:53.010+00:002011-12-17T12:55:53.010+00:00I sometimes severely dislike being English; in tha...I sometimes severely dislike being English; in that I never grew up with a great deal of other languages around. British and American English annoy me so much! I understand why they are different, but the whole soccer and football thing is so annoying and confusing.<br /><br />I'm sure you're not that bad! If you know Arabic and English, you have all the linguistic ability! I'd like to study abroad but, at the moment, I'm not sure whether or not I'll be studying French in University. Maybe I might do an exchange student thing (we had one a while back) but I'll not worry. France isn't far if I do really want to go.<br /><br />I think everyone is like that! I adore my dictionary and my French-English one!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530490398283237371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363964578806820625.post-24967170417051776622011-12-17T02:09:56.026+00:002011-12-17T02:09:56.026+00:00It's okay, I don't mind ((: My first is Ar...It's okay, I don't mind ((: My first is Arabic but I always knew English to get me by, but I was taught British English so when I moved to the US it was different in some aspects (like honor-honour) and I would get points taken off in school for that but I'm just like, THAT IS CORRECT! until I learned that oh, there are differences in British and American English. <br /><br />That's cool! I'm studying French too (I suck miserably) and I would like to study aboard in France in college for at least one semester. I'm a fellow culture lover, I traveled all my life and it's great.<br /><br />Dictionaries have a special place in my brain :p even though I'm a fluent English speaker now, sometimes I don't know the simplest of the words.Racquel (A Book Barbie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12084566299114982926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363964578806820625.post-48620546274124639532011-12-17T01:25:17.346+00:002011-12-17T01:25:17.346+00:00Racquel- I know...

I don't want to seem rude or like I'm prying, but I'm very interested since I love other languages and cultures (I study French!).<br /><br />Dictionaries will always have a place in my heart.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530490398283237371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363964578806820625.post-73323126554659737602011-12-17T00:48:42.218+00:002011-12-17T00:48:42.218+00:00The dictionary, LOL.

I was working at a bookstore when they first came out, and they really changed my life.<br /><br />I thought Roald Dahl's books were so scary when I was a kid! Charlie and the Chocolate factory was one of the first movies I ever saw and it gave me nightmares!<br /><br />I wasn't very "readersome" (love that word!) as a young child either, but once I figured out reading, I took right to it.Madigan Mirzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298558705488237857noreply@blogger.com
