Had my first test in a while - how do you say disaster in Danish? Whoever designed this language needs to rethink the whole situation. I feel like I need to speak to the (Danish language) manager and get some kind of a refund or free meal.
In the language class I'm sitting near a British guy that just had ear surgery. He had all the bones replaced by some plastic stuff and he can't hear very well. The teacher thinks he's retarded. I heard his stomach make a very small noise, but he must of thought the whole class could hear it because he interrupted the lesson to apologize. People had no idea what he was talking about and when they pressed him about the apology, the guy refused to explain his mistake.
To give a brief idea of how odd Danish is, to write the English word, "you", requires only a capital "I" - in other words the opposite of the way we say it. But, that's not all, the way they say "I" sounds like our "E". Long story short, this shit is fucking with my head.

Hilarious! Great post. Love your Danish language stories. Me and the Barned are off to Montreal tonight. Any Obama sightings? He must be making a bit of a stir in Copenhagen.
You can barely speak English, why would you try a very convoluted crazy language as your first attempt at a first language :)

I've always wanted to speak a totally obscure language and then come across people speaking that language in Toronto - and SHOCK them by speaking it! That would totally rule. Like awesome ruling of the languages. Like totally shock them by speaking it. Like that African dialect where people speak with the clucking of their tongue against the roof of their mouths. Like being out at a restaurant here in Toronto like Canoe or Bymark or another one and hear people speaking the African clucking language - and then start speaking to them in THAT SAME LANGUAGE! TOTALLY AWESOME! Think about that when you are having trouble in the classroom.
