Linguoboy's lament

[muckefuck]

Do you know what it's like to be out somewhere and suddenly experience the sinking feeling that you can't remember or don't know something like the German for "wood grain" (Holzfaser) or the Mandarin for "railyard" (火車場) or the French for "Y'all be quiet!" (Taisez-vous!) and--worse--there's no one around you can ask and you're at least a half-hour from all your reference works?

I tell you, it's difficult to be me sometimes!

Deine Probleme möchte ich haben! *shakes head*

;-)

How many languages do you actively speak, anyway?

I can't rightly say.
