My hormones are so jacked up right now, for serious. I owe comments for the mpreg, not to mention the next part, but instead I'm watching this:



NEEEEE JEFF WITH BISOU. I adore his dorky-ass laugh and him hoisting his 90-some lb dog onto his lap and him drinking heavily with firefighters and eeeeeee so much love.

Wow! Three other languages. I don't read anything but German and English. (Apart from a little Dutch, I mean. But that's just because it's related enough to German to be halfway understandable when reading it. Don't understand a word when they're talking)

I guess German's hard to learn because it's pretty grammar heavy. I don't know what other languages you read, but romance languages don't decline nouns, which German and most slavic languages do. That's a stumbling block for a lot of learners in my experience.

well, i'm a medievalist and i know Latin, French, and I can read Italian if I really try. i have no problem with the case system (except that it goes in a different order than Latin). my big problem was the vocab. i'm a lot older than the last time i started learning a whole new language, and i think i've lost the ability to master vocab quickly.

apologies to nilchance for taking over the comments! but really it's sort of topical...Jensen should totally have a facility for languages. okay, that's a stretch *g*
