What about English? Einstellungen

Since yesterday I've got to say - I love it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/roetel.gif)

Who surprised you lately (and what did she/he do?)?

[Pingüina]

Hi,

is this thread still going?

[kawa]

Yes, sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just answer to the last question ---> "Who surprised you lately (and what did she/he do?)?" , and then ask a new one, so that the new question can be answered by somebody else.

[Pingüina]

Ah, cheers.


A friend, who invited me on a trip to Rome (because I'm too skint to afford it just now). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bounce.gif)


If you could only have one of these for the rest of your life, whcih would it be, & why? Coffee, tea, chocolate, wine, beer?

[kawa]

Tea. I don't like coffee, wine and beer. And just chocolate for the rest of my life would be too much sweetness.


Did you ever fast?

[Pingüina]

Ages ago, I tried to do the Ramadan thing of no eating between sunrise and sunset (not that I'm a Muslim or in any way religious, just to try it out), but that only lasted about a week.

In the UK, lots of poeple give up something for Lent, and I was trying to break my sugar habit, so I did six weeks without sugar last year. I actually quite enjoyed it, but Ive not managed to repeat the feat since. I'm a sugar junkie....


Have you ever spent a night outside without a tent?

[kawa]

No.


Do you need an alarm-clock to get up in the morning?

[Pingüina]

Hah. An alarm clock, a bucket of cold water and a bed that tips me on the floor. In a word: yes.


Are you a 'lark' or a 'night owl', morning or evening person?

[kawa]

I'm a night-owl.


Do you usually remember your night-dreams?

[Pingüina]

Almost never. Theyre gone by the time my brain wakes up.


What's the longest train or coach journey you've been on?

[kawa]

44 hours, from my hometown to Kiev.


Do you travel a lot?

[Pingüina]

Blimey! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) That's hardcore.

And yes, a fair bit. (Mind you, my sig line's a bit of a giveaway, isnt it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon4.gif) )

Do you?

(Mind you, my sig line's a bit of a giveaway, isnt it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon4.gif) )

Yes, indeed. But I couldn't be sure, that it would be you, Pingüina, to answer to the question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Well, I'm not a globe trotter. I have to do business trips, and I do 5 - 10 personal trips p.a.


To which continents have you been?

[Pingüina]

The very southern bit of South America, a fair bit; Argentina, mostly. The western edge of Asia, ie. the Middle East, a couple of times. And Africa, very technically, a week in Cairo & Alexandria. (Oh, and Europe, innit.)

Ten to 15 trips a year seems quite a bit! I don't do that many.


What's your favourite country?

[kawa]

Sweden. But I like Germany, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Which languages do you speak?

[Pingüina]

Well, German & English, obv., and Spanish; those are all fluent. Rusty French, rusty Welsh, beginner's Portuguese, very rusty beginner's Italian. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon4.gif) I like languages.


You?

[kawa]

German, Swedish, French, English, rusty beginner's Italian, almost forgotten Russian. I like languages, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Have you ever taught a language?

[Pingüina]

In a manner of speaking, being a Foreign Language Assistant for a year at a Welsh school. Only did conversation classes tho, no 'proper' teaching.


Whats the next language you would like to / are plannning to learn?

[kawa]

I would like to learn Finnish. But no time, no room.


What about you?

[Pingüina]

Arabic. Ive been to the Middle East a few times (well, three) and I'd love to go back; but I feel dead stupid not being able to communicate properly. Also I reckon between English, Spanish and Arabic I'll have about three quarters of the world covered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Which is better, city or country?
