It fits like a glove

    Penti-Lingual Monday.

Me and Mandarin

Polyglot Sunday

Trilingual Thursday

Learning German

    Learning a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) language can be fun.

Pronunciation

All the time. Tricky words like banal, concomitant, and paean. Names like Cthulhu, Ng, and Gaiman (long "a" or long "i"?). Weird words like mambaskin, lich, or oenophile. Slang such as pwn. British places such as Lancaster and Worcestshire. Foreign words such as etagere, hors d'oeuvres, vichyssoise, or anything Welsh.

More Britishisms

    Moggy (n.):  An ordinary cat.

Others, all from a book I just finished: doddle, jacket potato, pong, fly sheet, footwell, settles, bin liner, skint, bleeper, scarper, AGM, spotty herbert, dust-dancers, cutlery draw, shufti, picnic hamper, stodge, going to the Casualty, skip, ‘having me on’, pebble-dashed, top up, nutters, lay-by, slowcoach, selvedge, tosser, punters, dozy, bacon-butties, and ‘trying it on’.

Hi-Lingual

    Is it just me, or are strangers more friendly right now when you pass them on the street?

Polyglot

    I guess that makes me trilingual.  To be fair, I have taken classes in all three of those languages.  Plus three years of French and two years of Mandarin Chinese.  Also two years of Latin in junior/senior high, but let's not discuss my grades in those classes.

Vocabulary Building

    Learning a foreign language, one word at a time.

E-Card Sunday

    I don't like to brag, but, yes, I'm trilingual.
