gonna concentrate on the good things

because we're all tired of hearing about my stomach.

Bestest news my story is for sale 2.99$ Let's see if it actually sells.

Welsh is insane. Yes, yes it is. WTH? We just covered mutations where letters literally change based on what comes before it and it's not easy and predictable like Italian Chi and che becoming a hard K and ci and ce being pronounced like CH. No, you get the fun combo's of NGH. At least B becomes M, that's doable but then yn becomes ym...why? WHY? at least I found out why most Welsh cities start with Llan, aeber or caer (church, where river meets the sea and fort respectively). I still can't make the hairball noise.

hee hee hee heee...yay, Welsh.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no, no yay. Welsh is hard. crazy welsh. Even our native speaker teacher is wagging her head at some of the crazy

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Find out how 'trylen' and 'trylenydd' would be pronounced for me, will you? :D Oh, and Cafell.

and Sulien while I'm at it.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Make your list now.

Troo-len-ooth? I've been hanging around Welsh people too much, after a while it all starts to sound normal. Ish.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

We always pronounced it Tril-en-eeth...it's from some ancient word my mentor dug up and tagged me with as my name. :D Trylen means 'beautiful and erudite', according to him.

You for the win :D

That would confuse me, really.

I clicked it. If it gets below 3 put it in the ER ♥

thanks

Welsh is confusing.

Thanks. So far I've not lost a one. I keep forgetting to post this one

*makes hairball noise at you*

It's a difficult sound. Do you know if your teacher is from North or South Wales? Makes a difference to your listening pleasure, the Southern accent is a lot softer and nicer. Wenglish, where Welsh-speakers construct sentences half in Welsh and half in English, is hilarious. "Come here and give us a cwtch [cuddle], bach [dear]."

I think she's from southern Wales but I will ask (since one of the Welsh students is telling another girl in class that this isn't how they speak it where he's from)

sounds like my Italian great granny where half of it was in Italian

I've read m/m before and quite some time ago, a friend gave me the three Beauty books that anne Rice did under her other name. If THAT didn't scare me off of reading erotica and the like... I think you're safe. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haahaha those were pretty bad.

makes mental list of all the people doing nice things for me
