So when you want your kid to be gifted when it comes to languages move somewhere before it's born to learn the language of that land and move back before the kid turns 2.

My husband's family moved to Ecuador when he was 4 and lived there for about 10 years. While his parents have a greater vocabulary, his accent (and the accents of his siblings) beat his parents by a long shot. It's just harder to learn accents when you're older, unless you're musical and really have an ear for it.

Equador... is the language there Spanish?

I did as well. Time and a half not to mention the hour I had to stay over because the girl that was supposed to close didn't come back from lunch. Grrr. I was by myself for 3 hours

So how is everybody?

**Mari** · 09-07-2007, 06:09 AM

Just fine. Nearing the end of summerholiday, so I have to get ready for classes again.

Next time, just make that girl that didn't come back wait forever for you. Perhaps she'll learn from the experience.

Acalewia · 09-08-2007, 12:18 PM

I doubt it. Highly.

Oh btw, Bal, People do have to work on Labor Day. At least those that aren't paid by the the Government

***Earniel*** · 09-08-2007, 02:00 PM

And even some that aren't paid at all.

Glad to see I didn't miss anything for the two days I was gone.

durinsbane2244 · 09-12-2007, 05:55 PM

MY BAND HAS A NAME!!!
as we're a cover-band, we decided upon....*drumroll*

The SmÃ¶rgÃ¥sbord!!!!

w00t.

Acalewia · 09-12-2007, 06:25 PM

I like the name, Bal

durinsbane2244 · 09-13-2007, 04:58 PM

me too! i especially like the funky symbols on the "o" and "a"!

me9996 · 09-13-2007, 07:36 PM

I can't help but wonder, why did you name it "The SmÃ¶rgÃ¥sbord"?
("You" being plural)

P.S.
Also, I would like to say: (In spoiler tags just because I like them)

I REALY LIKE SPOILER TAGS!!!

I don't have much to use them for but I still realy like them.

durinsbane2244 · 09-13-2007, 08:31 PM

we are The SmÃ¶rgÃ¥sbord because we're a cover-band, and we have a smÃ¶rgÃ¥sbord of musical stylings. and, of course, it sounds awesome.

me9996 · 09-14-2007, 04:22 PM

Ah, I get it... Exept for the cover band bit, but I don't know what a cover band is so that is understandable

durinsbane2244 · 09-14-2007, 04:54 PM

a cover band is a band that does other band's material. "covers" of the other band's songs, so to speak.

me9996 · 09-14-2007, 07:12 PM

Ah, I get it now! Thanks!
