6. I will not kill anybody dead whom I met via LJ/DW.

[paceisthetrick]

Amen!

Do you really know Finnish? *impressed*

[yakalskovich]

Kyllä, minä oikein puhun Suomea.-

[paceisthetrick]

*jealous*

I lived there for a YEAR!

Only you, Maru, would set out to learn one of the hardest languages on the planet!

[yakalskovich]

Tosh. That is Chinese. Finnish is easy, especially if you already know Latin and Japanese. It's like a perverse cross-breed of both, with a generous infusion of Germanic vocabulary via Swedish.

Not really hard.

[paceisthetrick]

Oh, stop. Swedish was easy to read but Finnish seemed contrary to every grammatical law I know.

Now tell me you know Chinese. Go on. Say it.

[yakalskovich]

Nope, I don't!! I'm not crazy!

[paceisthetrick]

I don't know how anyone can learn Chinese. I have a client who is fluent in Japanese and even she has to stop and think when I ask her what my name would be.

You know verb tenses are *important* for comprehension.

I used to say to my rebbetzin, "This year I am going to change my personality."

She'd say, "No, give one penny a day in tzedakah. That's enough for this year."

:D

I'm not making any serious resolutions; they're made of evil, as UnfuckYourHabitat so nicely explains.

[paceisthetrick]

I just *love* UnfuckYourHabitat! I am so glad you shared that with me.

yeah New Year's resolutions are pretty much untenable.
