Does anyone here speak German? I've been struck by the completely random desire to learn it.

[ringhollow]

Ja (that's German for "yes")

[valerianroot]

Is that the only word you know or do you have others?

[ringhollow]

It's a pretty even split between wand terminology and pick-up lines.

[olivebranchedout]

danke might mean thank you

[valerianroot]

I think you may be correct.

[olivebranchedout]

that's one point for olive

[corriespondence]

Ugh what you

[valerianroot]

Not a complete thought, Pye, but I'll give you a minute to work on it. Check in soon.

[corriespondence]

It's several years condensed into one heartfelt cry.

[louisweasley]

No, but there is a bunch of German books on my floor.

[valerianroot]

I think that makes us neighbors.

[louisweasley]

Oh, cool.

[hotandfrench]

Oh, how lovely.

[asterroid]

Sechs, seiben, acht.
I remembered more.

[valerianroot]

At this rate I'll be able to count to a hundred by next year.

[asterroid]

Which is a perfectly reasonable amount of math if you think about it.

[zeropercentfresh]

You should try the bird app.

[valerianroot]

Twitter?

[zeropercentfresh]

Nah, there's a green one with an owl that yells at you while you practice a language. Although, I suppose you can get yelled at on twitter while practicing a language, as well.

[horsie]

Nine.

[valerianroot]

I think it's nein.

[hotandfrench]

Not a single word, my duck, and I can't imagine why you'd want to. So guttural.

[valerianroot]

Don't You might have to stow the duck talk. We're in chicken territory now.

Looks like I'll have to join you - one of my favorite books is already lost to German. Lucky there are so many good instructors to choose from here.

[valerianroot]

I’m sorry for your loss. Those bookshelves looked so inviting.
