EEEE!! I love bilingual people! And love listening to people speak in other languages.... (Even if what you're reading is Mein Kampf...)
And the "Moving on." part. Loved it!

I don't feel that way on the inside. Oh, and I was using my computer to read the script from but it died midway. Winged it from there. (Repeated myself .. a little worrisome.)
As you can see I have no accent, just 'regular'.
Loved it, again! Squeezies to your puppy, Whatevs! She's so precious!

Hopefully, I'll tell you the difference between 'a', 'á' 'à', 'ã' and 'ê' (this last one is rare... I can only think of 2 words with that accent on an 'e' -> 'dêem', 'vêem', oh, oh... a third, 'têm') and all those wonderful diphthongs that kids hate in school! 'ão', 'ães', 'ões', etc...
That's the plan, at least. You guys think it may be worth the trouble?
YES, PLEASE!!!!
Anyone else on the threads bilingual? As much as I would like to be, I'm not. I was once sitting in the waiting room at my physical therapist's office and couldn't figure out why I couldn't read the magazine I was holding - all the words looked "right" and should have made sense, but I couldn't read them! Then I realized it was a PEOPLE magazine written in Spanish. :p I've taken Spanish on and off since I was in about 2nd grade so while I can't speak or read it, it looks and sounds normal to me.
Then I went on a study abroad to Italy where I learned a little traveling Italian which totally fucked up whatever Spanish proficiency I still maintained from high school.
Oh, and the only thing I can say in German is "Ich habe meine Deutsch-Klasse heute Abend"
