Languages

Uhh, Brigitte speaks three different languages, Except she speaks all of them perfectly English (better than perfect, spoken and written and I'M A FUCKING ENGLISH TEACHER), Hebrew written and spoken, a harsh language to learn, and pretty much flawless French. She admits she can't write it perfectly (who the fuck would want to?) but when she speaks it it puts Jacques Pepin to shame.

So where does that leave me? Obviously fluent in English, very good in French and very bad in Japanese (meaning that i'm completely fluent in nasty Japanese -- the only Japanese you need to know).

But Brigitte blows me off the planet. I listen to her speak French and it's as if a different person is sitting at the table . . . .

Weird . . . .
