Well to be fair if you were that weatherman you'd only need one Brunhilde for the other pocket
Is that a Brunhilde in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?Well to be fair if you were that weatherman you'd only need one Brunhilde for the other pocket
Forsooth thou did'st confusticate and bebother thy gallimaufry of wordsBetween you and @charlie1465 I think I'm getting this English thing down.
"Twas there a gaggle of twixts twaining my Dvarw?"
, I hope not.
Think I'm totally betwixt now.
Dang, I even tried it with proper English (Londoner), generic Aussie, S. Afrikans and NZ accents.
And when you start dreaming in the language you're completely there!! French is exactly the same except the grammar is much more complicated

Ive been holding off buying more batteries. I bought quite a few during the spring sales and I’m hoping there will be some Labor Day sales at the preferred battery stores and if any vape stores just happen to have a sale then I might be tempted to “window” shop there as well
When i ordering more cells. Verified shop (sometimes nice discounts).

Hmmm, this makes me concerned about visiting NZ. I probably wouldn't be able to understand folks down there without you, @Boudica or @AngeNZ translating for me. But now I wonder if I would be able to understand y'all. Well yes I would, you guys would just have to talk real slooooow, and be gracious with my constant interruptions asking for explanations, or write it out for me on a pad of paper, or I'd be betwixted. I will bring the paper and pencils.Oh boy. I'm here 17 yrs now and they still loose me in a conversation. If they pick up the speed and I don't concentrate like hell...i'm out of it.
I thought I could help myself with English in South Africa...but I was wildly mistaken when I arrived here. This English turned out to be a few levels above what I could understand. They spoke way differently than I was used to, and most went over my head. I hardly spoke for the first year or two...cause I couldn't understand half they said...and they had a hard time with me.
In South Africa if you don't know the English word you throw in your own language word, and they get it. Here I couldn't do it. If I didn't know the word, I was stuffed....and in the beginning here, there was a whole lot of words I couldn't get. Also I was thinking in Afrikaans, and you have to constantly translate to yourself as you speak. Man that is a recipe for confusion
Now I feel like i'm rolling it. Sometimes they still don't get me...and me them, especially when they go into the slang zone, but it don't bother me that much anymore. Yeah I said it before. I love this country
With the talk about batteries, I remembered that I bought a couple of Hohm batteries to try. I hadn’t really noticed any difference yet.
I see what you did there. But how did Forsyth get into this? @Daniel Forsyth help, Charlie has invoked your name and gallimaufry's.Forsooth thou did'st confusticate and bebother thy gallimaufry of words
Your generosity knows no boundswill bring the paper and pencils.
Good to hear from you! I hope they can get stuff sorted out quickly so you can get back home. You let us know if there’s anything we can do for you, anything you need, okay?
I’m really glad SMT has your contact info and we all should have a buddy or two who can keep in touch, for things like this.

That’s incredibly brave, moving to a new country, learning the language on the fly.
And when you start dreaming in the language you're completely there!! French is exactly the same except the grammar is much more complicated
The masculine/feminine thing confuses me no end. How am I supposed to know if a wall or a table identify as male or female?
Nothing logical about genders in language. Just learning and memory. Probably why kids pick up languages so much easier than adults
Should we call him Daniel Forsooth from now on?I see what you did there. But how did Forsyth get into this? @Daniel Forsyth help, Charlie has invoked your name and gallimaufry's.
