Q&A with Kaytabug Part 10

Irish Coffeehouse has asked me a few foreign related questions. This looks to be the last in the Q&A series but if you didn't get a chance to ask me a question feel free to head on down to this post and ask away.

How many languages can you speak? One, English.

When you lived in Germany, did you actually speak German before going there? And while there, how much of their language did you use? I did take German for 3 years in H.S., so I did speak German before living there but I can not fluently speak German. I only used small amounts of German while I lived there. I was too afraid of screwing it, saying the wrong thing the wrong way. Luckily I lived where most spoke English so I wasn't forced to use it but I always said Please and Thank you in German. I can understand more than I can speak.

If you could vacation for an extended amount of time or live abroad anywhere in the world, where would it be? Italy, Ireland, England, Greece. I'd say Scotland as well but I wouldn't be able to handle hearing men talk, I would just melt! I'd be putty in their hands.

that is not conducive to conversation. :-)

Thanks for answering! Hopefully this Q&A will stay alive. I love the concept!

I've never thought about the Scotland accent. Now I'm going to have to research a famous male I think may have that 'cuz I think I know what you're talking about! lol

Well that was just WAY too quick and easy. Umm... maybe I should nix Scotland off my "must see" list! lol

Any UK/Irish accent would make me drop my drawers in public. I think it's great that I've never been in a room filled British men.

I love those great accents, too. But of course they don't think they have an accent...we have the accent! ha ha

I tried to learn Spanish -- I guess I'm too old.

Oh I am mad for a Scottish accent, especially Glasgow. And I love any Irish one. Luckily, William still has quite a strong accent Belfast accent. Mied with Australian sadly, which doesn't work quite as well for me.
