BamNot terrible enough, I could understand you, He-he....You know I am living in Germany since 1967 so imagine how furious I was when twenty years ago I was trolling with German friends on the " Marché des Puces " in Paris when some merchand spoke with me German, seeming willingly to sell me some old pseudo antics a la Louis Phillipe....
Later with a French friend we where driving in Versailles when some boys riding on bikes, and seeing my German car, were saying some nasty things on the teuton we were not, Roger, the friend, let his window glass drive down and told them with the most perfect Parisian slang to go and...themselves, poor guys they almost felt from their two wheels!No, only theses three languages, but I can understand a little Italian when it is from the North...When I was on Sicile, it was more like Arabian for me.
German? Yes, almost fautless, and without that nasty French accent that people so love here, of course when I meet a girl to my liking I make an imitation of myself...
last week I had my teeth cleaned and the very nice girl doing the job, from Etiopia and 26 years old, told me " women must love your French accent "....
You bet...
