Me too

But now I'm listening to this: Zucchero - Vedo Nero

I like the twist this thread is taking

A lot of young Dutch people in Amsterdam have very good (almost native sounding) accents.

Ahahaha that is awesome. A very interesting shift, nontheless

How did beard make the shift to "old radon machine"?

I just played through all six levels of the demo (the last one is a bitch >_>)
I would suggest putting some sort of arrow to indicate where the end goal is as usually I have to lose a couple of rounds only to locate it.

Nice game though, I enjoyed it

In Maltese, both "learn" and "borrow" are actually the reflexives of "teach" and "lend" (the 4th form of the verb) Root GĦ-L-M I teach English - Jien ngħallem l-Ingliż I learn English - Jien nitgħallem l-Ingliż I taught English - Jien għallimt l-Ingliż I learned English - Jien tgħallimt l-Ingliż Roo...

That's very encouraging

Thank you! :D I just hope I have managed to get my computer shipped to Ireland by the 25th. Otherwise I'll just have to find another way to do it. My phone should probably do the trick... :wink: You'll probably get it much before. Astraios will be back on the 10th, and since I'm leaving on the 12th...

I knew a girl at university whose parents were both native Maltese-speakers but sh...

Not the first time I'm under Astraios kidding...kidding...

This should be fun though. I'm looking forward to Astraios' translation, and my allocated timeslot is perfect

Sko, I'm jealous of you being in Reykjavík. No fair!

2 sentences doesn't seem as scary. Might I join in?

Both directions: Maltese, English, Italian, French

(Although my French isn't as good as it used to be, I'll put it down anyway)

I'll be away from 12th-19th of August

Woah, awesome!

I love the pose, too.

You are so white

Thanks, but I will admit that it's slow and pronounced speech, so it sounds better than it actually is
