I went back to the republic one more...

talked with Ben and Lucy for a bit then I went home...

 

I am listening to Politik for the first time in Years.

 

I had it but then one day I sat on it and cracked my OLD cd.

 

I still dont have a great idea how to use rapidshare type sites.

 

Still no hot water.

 

 

Today I think I am going for a coffee with my old landlady..

 

I have lost the pin number to my phone, and its in the old place. However the boy from lisbon never answers the door.

 

Ohh I have the keys still. I need to return them, also I don´t want to but I am going to have to ask the lady if I cn use the shower, I have a friend who lives close by close by, but I like a little, she would let me use her shower but whilst I feel like that I dont think it would be good for me...

 

 

how has you day been, I read you are studying hard....

Not sure

Hi all!

 

Nope, haven't got a word of Spanish - some Latin and French but that's strictly it:D

^ heeey! :)

I could get some French words because some of them have the same meaning and are identically spelled to the ones that I use in my mother tongue.

 

 

 

I haven't listened to any Coldplay song (apart from the ones of the new album) in ages either. I guess I should.

 

hahaha :lol: and you told me it's easier for you to find things when your bedroom is messy!

 

If you wanted to, I could tell you how to use these websites. It's not difficult, I almost download things daily!!

 

You'd better ask the landlady if you can use the shower.

 

My day? baah, I've been studying... tomorrow Im taking the first exam. And I've just had a shower and I was blow drying my hair a bit. Exciting, eh?! :laugh1:

We need the rain. Hey guess what my teacher loves Dr Who...

its all we ended up talking about.

 

I got a free CD from FNAC. With some new music I have not heard before.

 

All good..

with what sounds like some decent spanish groups.. and some new ones from the UK I have never heard off.. all indie type music.

 

Not the cheesy stuff I got my self into like Pualina Rubio etc...

 

i learnt something today when I talk about something that belongs to someone Ariticle I have always added a "s" at the end..

 

Now I would say la targeta de Maria

 

 

before I said la targeta es marias... I learnt never add a s at the end of someones name unless they have a s at their name like you...

yeah, we needed it but I think it's enough by now!

 

That's such a coincidence! To be honest you're the only person that I know that likes this serie. I reckon that other people havent heard much about it.

 

Don't tell me that you don't like Paulina Rubio any more!? :stunned: I always thought you were more impressed by her sexiness than by her music itself.

 

You don't have to add a "s" at the end of my name either. You should say: la targeta de Iris

 

Good to hear you've got a free CD from Fnac! I like finding out new music too!

Honestly not... easy words... that can be song along to by everyone.

I remember in 2007 and I went out on the other side of Exiample near Aribau... when the Sitges Carnival was on... I was in a gay bar with some friends and Pulina Rubio came on... damm the whole place song it word to word the DJ played it twice.

 

It was fun...

yeah, she makes those typical pop songs that have lyrics easy to remember.

 

haha. I had no idea that song was an "anthem" for the gays :lol:

 

Ive got to go now. It's lunchtime for me!

 

cheerio! :bye:

^ heeey! :)

Um wow! Spanish...English....French. That's pretty amazing. I never knew Spanish and French had quite a few similarities!

bon pofit

 

 

me too

I've got to tell you that Spanish isn't my mother tongue. In fact it's Catalan.

And yeah, both languages are pretty similar :)

 

 

 

bon profit Daryl!! :dance:

Yesterday you were so hungry that it even scared me!! hahaha

Cool, I've never heard of Catalan before, is it a local dialect?

It's not a dialect, it's actually a language widely spoken in a certain region of Spain. The same thing happens between Irish and English in Ireland, me thinks... well, maybe it's not exactly the same case but they share some similarities.

Ah, thanks, that explains it!

 

Although Irish, or Gaelic as its called in the native tongue, is only spoken in small pockets around rural areas, especially Mayo. About only 90,000 out of 5million (or so) can speak it fluently. It is our official language but its going the way of the dodo.:(

Ari hope your day went well

speak to you soon.. have things to do..

Ah, thanks, that explains it!

aww, what a shame :(

Fortunately this isn't our case. People speak about 50% Spanish and 50% Catalan in the city where I'm living (and it's a big one). So we're bilingual and this is always an advantage.

 

Would you believe me if I told you I know a few Gaelic words? Like...

 

Cona atas tú?

Ta me go maith

Ta me go dona

Slán

 

I'm not sure I've spelled them properly though. Anyway, this is all the Gaelic that I know (so far).

Aw nuts, I reckon you know way more Irish than I do!! The only Spanish I have is..."Gracias" and "Aye carumba!" but I believe that's from the Warner Bros cartoons I watched when I was a kid lol

this is not possible :lol:

 

Ahh, you must mean caramba! I'm sure that you know more Spanish words, the thing is that you're not aware of that.

this is not possible :lol:

You see??? One of the few Spanish words I said I knew I didn't even know how to spell! That's just shameful....:embarassed:

Don't exaggerate!

 

you probably know bésame mucho and some other songs in which part of the lyrics are Spanish.

:dance: hiya

 

i'm back to my place. :)

will go to uni tomorrow to ask some lectures about some subjects.

i have few more to say ... we were in the middle of Madrid, when there was a strike, it caused a long queue of cars trying to move, and it made us need to spend 2 extra hours :S but is OK. :D

Bienvenida a casa!! :dance:

gracias iris :nice:

 

espero que te vaya todo bien :D

animo y suerte en los examenes.

 

@ daryl: ya he visto que me has añadido a tu signature :D

¿que tal todo?

 

@Jamie: hey how are you doing?

first time that i see you here ;)

@ Ari - yep, I'm a first timer to this thread - and I haven't a word of Spanish/Catalan/Portugeese......but don't be talking bout me behind my back haha

 

@ Oenona - fraid I'm gonna haveta disappoint you with my honesty and say that I'm utterly hopeless at foreign languages! French is fine at the basic basic level but anything beyond that and I'm LOST! as a band we know would say (I'll admit that that was a very poor joke;)) And Latin was all just written and not spoken so that wasn't too bad.

 

Besame mucho? Never hear that song. Who's it by?

 

Oh, but I have picked up some of that odd semi-Icelandic language thing Sigur Ros use in their songs! Does that count? :thinking:

Gracias Ari y como siempre digo ojalá te escuchen los dioses del olimpo. Y si no lo hacen, que por lo menos esten ebrios cuando corrijan los examenes! hahaha :lol:

 

@Daryl:

There's the chance that I get a pair of tickets because I'm a movistar client! I'll send a message and hopefully I'll be one of the first 20people who sends it...

Yeah, you were right. I'm utterly disappointed in you at the moment :cry:

 

Haaa, jokes aside. Learning a second language to the extent that you master it is one of the most difficult things to do because once you're bilingual, then it isn't that hard to learn a new one. And this doesn't have to do with you, it just happens to everyone. It's as if it opened your mind to new word structures, ways of saying stuff, etc.

 

About bésame mucho, I don't know whose author is... but it has been covered by loads of artists, like The Beatles, Frank Sinatra among others.

 

I'm not sure if it counts. Some of Sigur Ros songs are written in Hopelandic and this isn't even a language. I read somewhere they say it's a kind of gibberish or something like this :thinking:

still no hot water :angry:
