Then there’s the language conundrum.
I just read this in a news feed about how you know when you are fluent in another language. Although I often revert to German when I smash my foot, I’m far from fluent. 😎
“I knew I’d reached a French milestone when I could understand my neighbor’s hallway fights with her boyfriend.”—Elizabeth from Washington, DC
“When you get pulled over for a traffic violation and you can nervously stammer your way out of it in the local tongue.”—Mark from Houston, TX
“When you smash your foot into something, and the resulting profanity that follows is not in English.”—Josh from Shenzhen, China
“After 10 years of marriage to a German, I know the answer: It’s when you are super mad about something and can still form a clear and convincing argument.”—Lizzy from Munich, Germany
“I could be a Dungeon Master for a D&D campaign with that language.”—Phillip from the Bronx
“When you can comfortably flirt and enjoy it!”—Shayda from CA
