Yeah, but can the Swiss play baseball, American football, and basketball? Many kids in America can do that with ease. It's all how you grow up. It's a lot harder for an American, growing up monolingual, to learn a bunch of languages, and therefore WAY more impressive than the Swiss who start learning at a young age. Just like it would be very impressive for a Swiss kid to reach a high level of proficiency in baseball, lacrosse and American football. Where would they practice? Who would coach them?
Ich spreche Deutsch, English, und schlechte Spanisch, ich kann ein bisschen Italien und Chinesich, und ein wirklich kleines bisschen Japanisch und Koreanisch. Ich glaube das ist technisch sieben?
Lol.
ReplyDeleteBut you got one point wrong. In Switzerland the people would never be so cruel to ask such a question :D
This had me laughing sooo much, it's soooo exactly like that X'D
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know Swiss men are so arrogant. It's not like they can master more than a dozen languages (no offense).
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice comic.

ReplyDeleteI don't think learning a sport is as valuable or difficult as learning a language.

"Ich glaube das ist technisch sieben?"
DeleteTechnically this isn't correct German.
I'm not 95% fluent.
