*standing ovation* Brava Brava!

The river springs from a well (don't know if that is the correct word, but you'll know what I mean) It is like his home, his birthplace or his cradle.... It still needs working on, haven't had time, though...

[Aranel]

Okay, it's all clear now!
Is your school in the Netherlands an English speaking school?

[Erutanie]

I applaud you Eruiwen for even coming up with it in the first place. I love riddles, just can't write or solve them.

[Iure]

Well, my school is an English/Dutch/French/everything speaking school, because it is a teacher training college. I just happen to do the English teacher training thingy... (I chose this school because I wanted to do something with English, and so far I like it.) All my classes are in English, though some teachers prefer Dutch... (I don't...)

[Aranel]

Are you fluent in English? And/or do you speak another language?

[Iure]

I'm pretty fluent in English... I speak Dutch (of course) and a bit of French... And you??

[Aranel]

Just English and sign language. I understand a little Spanish because I grew up in CA, I know a little French because at one time I wanted to learn it. I know some Chinese and Japanese because I live at a missionary home where people who minister all over the country come and stay and they teach some words. pretty cool.
I do kind of have a tongue for languages, but I have to hear the word to be abe to say it.

[Iure]

I know the Dutch sign alphabet, but I keep forgetting the "G" ...So I can spell anything that doesn't include that letter... ;D ;D

[Aranel]

LOL, that's great. Yeah, I have to fudge it sometimes down here. But the great thing is there really isn't a sentence structure so you can sign things backwards and Deaf people will still understand.

I want to learn Sign language. Currently I am learning spanish. I can't hear something and have perfect pronunciation (or else the techer won't look at me like i'm stupid when i start speaking spanish)

[Aranel]

Sign language is great! If someone else in the room knows it, but is all the way on the other side, you can sign to them and they would understand you! Also good when in a building filled with loud noise! It's funny because I was in the back of my car signing with my sister about something and then my mom suddenly asks us about the same thing we were talking about. She didn't even know we were signing!

i love crazy coincidences

[Aranel]

They happen to me all the time. Like I'll think "I haven't seen so- and -so at church in a while" on Sat and the next day they'll show up! Or, like what happened yesterday, I was watching an Early Edition, then later I watched The Majestic(one of the best movies, with tv guardian) and a guest star on EE was a main character on The Majestic! If I had watch TM today, I wouldn't have gone, "Hey that guy looks like the guy on EE I watched yesterday" Nope. I would have forgotten all about him!

[Erutanie]

that is so crazy.

it's strange, my family will be somewhere and when i get there they are all walking out the door.
