Language Learning


Derek and I have begun learning German using Rosetta Stone. I am not very good at the pronunciation. My accent is TERRIBLE, and it can make learning German kind of depressing for me. But since we are doing it together I am encouraged to keep at it. Derek finds my pronunciation humorous, and compared me to the priest in Princess Bride the first time I did a lesson out loud.

But by all accounts, Luke's language learning is much more humorous than mine. These are his latest "words which are not words":
the word he's trying to say = what actually comes out
Frog = Cow
Book = Gook
Apple = Minnow
Truck = Cuck
Chair = Share
Sit = Shit
Block = Gawp
Cameryn = Camera
Roehn = Roro

  1. I'm so proud of you learning German. Seriously, what was I thinking slacking in French class when I could have taken German in High School!
