Back from my long walk with the doggy girls. We walked for a total distance of about 0.92 miles (1.48 km), not too shabby.

Feeling to lazy for walks.

Well, I can't say I exactly enjoy walking in the wee hours of the morning in sub-45 degree F temperatures, I kinda have to. But the doggy gals aren't getting any younger, and the exercise is not only really good for them, but it's actually really good for me too.

Failed??

Well. I was trying to enhance your manly man side and point out the moist discharging effect your all straight person have on the opposite sex, instead of all the gay bottom jokes, with a "clever" rewriting of the lyrics. But it turned out that it was not clever at all.

Boer or Zulu?

 

[Dogstudlover]

141295

Soutie?

 

[MrsShemon]

141296

Ah, British origin. We have found something we have in common.

 

[Dogstudlover]

141297

Actually from Dutch Origin, so yeah, little bit of a disgrace to my ancestors but eh, I like English more??

 

[MrsShemon]

141298

Would not Dutch origin make you a boer?

 

[Dogstudlover]

141299

Not exactly, my previous generations were "Boers" cause they are farmers but they mingled with some English speaking Dutch people so eventually we just Dutch descent but speak English.

Way more variations than just Boer or Zulu?

 

[MrsShemon]

It is, but the question worked in starting a conversation, did it not?

 

[Dogstudlover]

141301

Yip yip. On topic, you guys "native" scandanavian or just live there?

 

[MrsShemon]

141302

I am a mix of a little of this and a little of that. Born in Scandinavia though.

 

[Dogstudlover]

141303

Ah ok, what language do you guys major in over there?

 

[MrsShemon]

141304

Scandinavian languages would be Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and a bunch of minority languages with just a couple of thousands of speakers.
For me, I speak both Norwegian and Swedish, depending on situation, but they are so similar so a foreigner would have trouble telling them apart.
With relatives I either speak Norwegian, English, French or Vietnamese.

Do you speak any Afrikaans?

 

[Dogstudlover]

141305

Oh wow, lovely. SA has 11 official languages but you're lucky to meet someone who can even speak 3 of those.

I can speak abit of Afrikaans but Im not fluent.

 

[MrsShemon]

141306

Yeah we have it pretty easy. Just one official language per Scandinavian country. Actually two for Denmark and Sweden as English is the official language for the European Union.
And our minority languages is nothing more than people getting a public education in it if they speak one of them and some villages having a name both in the official language and in the minority language of that area.

They say that growing up in a multi lingual home will make you good with languages. But for me, it have just been me mixing up the grammar, sentence structure and words between them. Even tried to learn German to show my multi lingual skills, but my results were not impressive.

 

[Dogstudlover]

141307
Hmm ok. I understand the multi lingual problems. Unless you wanna travel the world, there's no point cause you gonna confuse yourself and use up alot of your time learning.

 

[MrsShemon]

141308

I did not really have a choice in the matter. My parents are both bilingual (sadly neither being the same language), and they decided that their kids were to learn their languages.
So, un lang moment sau đó, I er les mélanger họ.

 

[Dogstudlover]

141309

Thats a shame, my girlfriend at the moment is Afrikaans so now I'm basically forced to be fluent so that I can communicate with her family?

 

[MrsShemon]

141310

You knew a little from before, so just see it as repetition exercises?

 

[Dogstudlover]

141311

Yeah, I honestly just couldn't be bothered though. But I'm just lazy so yeah?

 

[MrsShemon]

141312

Speaking from experience, a boyfriend that actually makes an effort to communicate with his beloved lady friends family, will be rewarded.

 

[Dogstudlover]

141313

I know, I know, I'm just so lazy??.
But we'll see what happens?

 

[MrsShemon]

141314

Just stop be lazy ?

Boyfriends are very similar to dogs, positive reinforcement works much better when you want them to learn how to behave, compared to nag, yell or bitch when they don't to as you want.

Just some lip action every now and then and he will act more in line with how you want him to act. They don't even know about it, it all happens subconsciously.
