Thank you.

Dutch is my mother tongue, and fluent German and of course Af Somali.

Basic French though. Totally no Arabic, at all.

German's a beautiful language.

The extent of my German: "Guten tag, kleiner hai!" and a few Rammstein lyrics. :[

lol, you listen to Rammstein. Respect! :lol:

Germans are so uptight, that they're the only people who know how to club on some mellow ass, deep lyrical songs. I've been to this place in Germany and these people were all going crazy on this track, screaming: WIR SIND ALLEIN!

The whole point of the topic flew out of your heads. I think the difficulty of the usage of those three items by the members here is beyond simple "text write". People do not have to write perfectly, I certainly don't, but even when they write phrases or ebonics somehow everything else is grammatically correct except the usage of those items. Already Voltage, Seemayar, Ire, and Cinque have benefited from this topic. :up:

Thanks Serena, I got my dad largely to thank for it though. He's a Canadian originally from Toronto.

Thus, I don't think this English lesson, this forum or any other forum, is warranted nor justified. Unless it is another ego-driven from college goer who happened to be the first one who goes to college in his entire subclan!.

exactly! i doubt anyone would write like this on their assignments, or dissertation. is the fact that we know this is a forum, nobody gives a toss! who would tho!? :|

Why are you referring to yourself in third-person?
More importantly, what have I benefited from this topic?

Nothing on S/Net has ever been worth my while, aside from that glorious, perfect Warsangeli prince, The Nomad/Meles. :heart:

He's a decent, albeit patently unintelligent kid. I'm thinking about taking him under my wing, to be frank.

Ire, I appreciate the correction. See, people make mistakes all the time. Our people need to start learning how to say "I need help". There is a famous saying in Mudug, "nin buko boqol u tali". A sick man has hundred advisers because every Somali is a doctor at that moment. :lol: :lol:

Agame, lapping after me will not help your case. It just might lead you to lose another Agame name.
