Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for February 15, 2012

C’est la vie! (Or words to that effect)

Well that is supposed to be what you are there to learn.

I learned vietnamise a lot fater when we had to order all our meals in vietnamise.

What foreign language(s) did you take in school?

I took Spanish for a couple months in 9th grade, but didn’t get along with my teacher, so I took French in 10th and 11th.

By the way, it seems that people have given up on Tony, huh?

@Sardonis I only took a year of French in HS (with a teacher who did NOT speak it) and took both classical and church Latin in college (my pronunciation earned me the honor of reading the Christmas gospel at assembly. I later bought the books that local high schoolls use, and taught myself Spanish which is the only one I have used in employment (translating contracts, soil reports and construction drawings back and fortth between Spanish and English). I keep it up by reading a novel of Garcia Marquez now and then.

Spanish, 3 years of it. Would have taken a fourth year, but it was a different teacher then, and I did not like that woman, so I stopped.

Tony who?

Just kidding, but where are you man?

4 years of French in High School. Very long time ago. Don’t remember much at all, but figure as long as I can manage “parlez-vous anglais?” I have a fighting chance.
