[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
France, English, German, etc. are all based on Latin. Hebrew, Arabic and Aramic are based on something else, entirely.
Heh. I know. I used to teach linguistics. It still irritates me that I can't learn a different alphabet. I'm reasonably clever (and not used to being unable to understand things :P )
Languages are very tricky things to learn as adults! My old neighbor taught Hebrew and I wish I had her give me lessons before we moved.
Accents can vary greatly from person to person, too--a lot depends on what age you learn your second language. Some people never lose theirs.
Seska, I'm not learning to write. To start with, I'm wanting to speak first. Once I learn that, then maybe I can figure out what squiggle means which sound. Unless your in laws pass notes at the table.

See, that doesn't work for me. I put this down to dyslexia/dyspraxia/neurodiversity. I "see" words. I can't learn a language without seeing the words in my head. I'm currently trying to 'see' the words in English letters, and it isn't working for me. I'm hoping having a basic grasp of the letters will help.

Hold on, as is Hebrish? Oh, we could totally do that!
For those days when you're feeling cranky...
I've said it recently on Facebook, but I will repeat it here:
These ultra-rightwingers, who want no government and no taxes, but lots and lots of guns, SHOULD MOVE TO SOMALIA. No government or taxes there, and plenty of guns.

Also no food, schools, or clean water, but hey! Guns!
too many black folks, too, mostly(how messed-up is Phoenix's black militiaman?)

Heh. Would it get in the way of learning to read actual Hebrew later? If not, I'm there. Especially if there's an established spelling system I could look up.
