Because it's better than wild gesticulation. Europe and Tulsa: A Comprehensive Comparative Study →. May 22, 2011. In Arkansas (and probably every other state in the Union, but we all like to think we’re exceptional), we’ll tell any non-native who can discern words in our thick-as-molasses accents. I was talking to a teacher here about how this beautiful/gloomy/beautiful/violent weather we’ve been getting is really crimpin’ my style (I took it as a sign of the end times. Under the Tuscan Sun.

Because it's better than wild gesticulation. Since my primary purpose here is to spread American goodwill through teaching at the Berufsbildende Schule Bingen (ha, and you thought it was to blog. Sometimes, so do I), I thought I’d keep you abreast of what. Of goodwill I’m spreading. Another excuse to use a Schoolhouse Rock video, this time The Great American Melting Pot. Yes kids, all your stereotypes of our giant cars, huge houses, and unsustainable infrastructure… are actually just about right. Feature...

So Long, Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu | Lori Speaks Denglish

https://lorispeaksdenglish.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/so-long-goodbye-auf-wiedersehen-adieu

Because it's better than wild gesticulation. Bingen: The Good, the Bad, and the Really Really Ugly. So Long, Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu. June 28, 2011. To this day there is something illusionistic and illusory about the relationship of time and space as we experience it in traveling, which is why whenever we come home from elsewhere we never feel quite sure if we have really been abroad. And with that, I find myself come full circle. What began with a seven-hour layover. As a side note (or more accu...

I’m talking about the shop windows. This lovely selection of dresses is not in the window of a dress shop, oh no, but a hair salon. This glasses shop, which now flaunts a street sweeper/crossing guard theme, went with a bunch of plaster pelicans earlier in the year, a bold choice. June 26, 2011 at 5:58 am.

June 20, 2011. I suppose it doesn’t take much of a grasp on semiotics to realize that culture will, come hell or high water, weasel its way into language, thus spawning idioms, but I’m here to tell you anyway.

Because it's better than wild gesticulation. Idiomatic Monday: Wurst Will Be Wurst →. Europe and Tulsa: A Comprehensive Comparative Study. June 13, 2011. The end is nigh. With two weeks to go, the regrets are just starting to sink in: why didn’t I go to Croatia? Why didn’t I teach a single student the Hog Call. Why didn’t my blog go viral? Why did I eat all the chocolates that were meant to be souvenirs? Which means the border is here:. Or by my ability to sing the countries surrounding France e. Click t...

Because it's better than wild gesticulation. Newer posts →. Denglish Dines and Bids Adieu. March 16, 2011. Dinner alone is one of life’s pleasures.
