Mausi: speaking in tongues

speaking in tongues

Attention all amateur linguists!

Language Week is taking place once again, this time from June 25 - 29 2007. Details and rules can be found here.

I participated in 2005 but missed it last year because I was on holiday and not paying attention. I'll be blogging in German (with English translations) since that's the only foreign language I have a handle on at the moment. You don't have to be a language genius to participate. Even a sentence or two every day will do. My entries from last year included:

Here Goes Nothing
Mausi Does Europe
All about Not Being Raised Bilingually
Languages I Don't Speak and What the Heck Am I Still Doing Here?

Read them at your own peril.

BTW, you've been tagged, my friend. Maybe you want to use the meme as one of your entries? :)

charlotte - I'm sure your German isn't furchtbar at all! Go one, give it a try. :-)

Are you being messed up at all by Mercury Retrograde these days (June 15-July 9)? OMG. Talk about computer/Internet problems ever since we've been home. I've been on dial-up most of the time. Not fun!
