Eavesdropping

Kristin, after some failed attempts to read Danish newspaper articles (with a German perspective), jokingly declared that it was a made up language. Since my classes started, sometimes it really feels like somebody took a fun mirror to English, French, and German and came up with Danish.

Meanwhile, I've been concentrating very hard on surrounding Danish conversations, trying to pick up words that I might know. I estimate I'm at 1% comprehension. When I'm finally guilty of eavesdropping, I'll be very happy!

This weekend I'll have to drop the Danish and practice some French because I'll be visiting Winnie in Geneva. I got so excited when she mentioned the words "thermal" and "springs" together, I didn't hear Kenneth walk up behind me to remind me about a meeting. Chocolate, cheese, and timing perfection, here I come!
