To Bob (The Eagle)
No. I looked up my 2000 word German/Norwegian 'tourist phrase book' (haben sie
unterhosen hier? - type of a thing), but found nothing on 'dork'. My old
15.000 word German/Norwegian dictionary is somewhere in the house, - I'll look
it up. We had compulsory 5 years with German in my time at school. I am not
that good at it, but can find my way around Germany and handle simple phrases
with a German telephone switchboard operators and so on, in my business. I
speak German 'fluently' when I am drunk, they say. Just give me a schnaps and
I'll be as good an orator as...well, forget it.
Adlerhorst means eagle's nest, by the way.
I liked learning languages and regret that I did not take it more seriously.
We had a few years of French too, but I make total fool of myself whenever I go
with my wife to a Paris restaurant and try my skills, - my wife say. Her
French is excellent.
