so i still haven't been to school recently yes, but this year i decided to take a second foreign language. it was originally supposed to be spanish but after meeting nadja (j pronounced like y & more about her further below) i've decided to give german culture a chance. my brother (gabe's here now) is so excited, he really does love the place. he went up to school and even talked to my college counselor and had it changed for me. so now, as a senior i am in a freshman class pre-ib german 1. it's really embarrasing actually because i was atleast in spanish 2 when i was taking spanish. gabe also went upstairs and talked to the german 1 teacher mr.weiss, a kind of elderly man (apparently) who he is just best friends with now and got all of the work i missed for me. i'm not going to school again until Wednesday so I have plenty of time to catch up and nadja and gabe are going to help me get acquainted with the language, now i'm actually getting kind of excited.
ok so about nadja
she is unfairly and painfully beautiful, my brother should never break up with her.
with curly light brown hair and german blue eyes she in thin but not skinny. with an incredibly womanly hourglass figure...like scarlett johansson
her english is absolutely shit-tastic, i think she secretly hates the language, but her french is really impressive, she's a french major apparently. giving her a million plus points on my mothers "amie du fils" scale
so this is rather unfortunate and akward for my father as he has no knowledge of any foreign language except he can say bon jour in a truly awful american accent and on a good day je m'appelle paul. lately he stands around awkwardly while the rest of us make jokes in french and laugh histerically
the house (or condo, as we recently moved) was a bustle with french. nadja mostly hung out in the kitchen helping my mom or animatedly chatting up gabe in german. they seem to have a good laugh together and i sadly realized i hardly know my brother
what is he like? what does he do for fun? his favorite color? i have no idea
she made a traditional southern german food which was actually a pretty good noodle dish called spaetzle, i was actually kind of unwilling to try at first as germany is not known for their delicious cuisine but was pleasantly surprised
the only thing about nadja is that, even though i imagine she does very well in her university studying french, she is not especially bright
she is definitely not stupid but.. i don't know, i don't mind and it's not important really but
maybe it's just that she is simple, but not in the country girl way as i get the feeling she is a big bar hopper (presents consisted solely of tons of german beer and some wines they bought in montreal). maybe it's just that she is unconcerned with the problems of life
maybe i worry too much for my age?
oh well, i suspect she will make an excellent teacher as i can already say
guten tag ich heisse samantha und ich bin seibzehn jahre alt. ich wohne in vancouver
in german w's are pronounced like v, and j's like y. it's been one day and im already learning so much! haha
in a short while she will help me progress even further into this new world of discovery, and to think last week i could have cared less about german. i wonder what future chain of events this could have set off?
