Sehr toll Ich kan nicht viele deutsch. so nicht verwöhnt vie
Though I have had it for almost 3 years, I can not speak very well, and my writing sucks. But next semestre I'm going to take spanish, which I think is much nicer.

Hey, Pytt, would you be willing to try to teach me Norwegian?

Yay! Hm. Probably not here, though... Over AIM or MSN, I suppose.
Anyway, est-ce que quel'qu'un veut parler français maintenant? Je voudrais, mais j'ai besoin d'aller Ã* mon classe d'économique. Ick! Je deteste ça classe! Quelle ennuyeuse!
