Indeed, but the words are very different (luckily some of them are pretty similar to English).

When my group had to plan the christmas party, we wanted to leave out that poem. So instead, we read Sune's poem in Sunes jul. You know that one, Jonathan?

Man I wish I knew all these cool languages. All I really know is English. But I'm learning Japanese (and I had an exam today. I think I got everything right unless I made some sort of dumb mistake).

Two tigers, two tigers Running fast, running fast One has no ears, one has no mouth Very…? Very…? I can’t work out the last one, since I can’t see the characters, just the Pinyin (and without the tones at that). I don’t know what ‘quai’ is, it must be spelt wrong.

Thanks anyway, though. It just sucks that I can’t translate it due to shortage of good dictionaries online or in stores! Quote:

You're making me dislike seeing my own beloved language! Grrr. Actually, you don't write in my language. Australienska är mycket bättre än amerikanska. Last edited by Linaewen : 01-15-2004 at 05:59 AM. |

And then, what's the point of learning them if you can't use them or don't know how to pronounce the words correctly?

Don't tell me you've only been learning the vulgar words of the language...like someone else here. Not anyone in particular, förstås. |

I don't think Swedish vulgar words are that fun. Normal words are funnier. Bums! Prat! Hey, JD, does the name 'Uno' seem funny to you? Last edited by Linaewen : 01-15-2004 at 06:53 AM. |

That is Swedish high-poetry, right? I can translate if anybody wants a translation.
