WATCHING | READING | EATING

Friday, July 09, 2004

Language learning books are so funny. I have a Dutch grammer book that tells you how to say "Je nieuwe bril is mooi," which is "Your new glasses are beautiful." I don't know about you, but have you ever said that to anybody in English? I haven't. Of course, this was on the same page as a phrase that translates to "My trousers are too long." I'm sure that comes in handy too, just as small talk with people on the street. :) Anyway, what was really funny is that Soleil liked "Je nieuwe bril is mooi" so much that she turned it into a catchy little tune. Little singer-songwriter of the future. Look out Norah Jones!
