Am in stitches about that language map! Absolutely spot on regarding France - anyone who's been there and tried will know what I mean ... and it's even worse if you understand French but your pronunciation shouts 'foreigner' ... the expletives one can hear ... my aunt would've fainted immediately.
Mind you: speaking english to the natives of the Celtic fringe also is an 'experience' a bit like trying to speak to the French ...
We had a French Canadian friend who went to France. They refused to converse with her in French - said that is not real French. My father who was Born in Bergen Norway (1919) and moved to America in 1947, visited Norway in 1959. He would speak Norwegian and they would answer him in English because of his American accent.
really.. how do you know that? I have never been to France.. though I actually have quite a bit of French on my German side.. which I did not know.. until I did my DNA. Of course I went to Germany.. but I took French two years in School and liked the language a lot.. very interesting comment. I know Germany also has dialects because my mother spoke five languages.. and would make fun of Americans.. herself who spoke German.. she was taught British English.. and Polish and French.. but later when I was teenager she learned the American lingo.. and could even cuss in American.. I love linguistics and how languages actually adapt.
Is it sort of like New Englanders conversing with Southerners? Having married a South Carolinian living in the South for a while there are certain terms and phrasings you’ll only hear down here.
I remember asking my husband if he ever listened to the news on tv and wondered why he didn’t talk like that? He really didn’t recognize that there was a difference 🤷🏻♀️
I KNOW.. I took French.. actually and spoke it pretty well.. they should put a new name on it like Abu Francias: now entering "Zone interdite" or منطقة ممنوع الدخول إليها (I looked it up... that is NO GO ZONE in both French and "Arabic" according to GOOGLE. :)
Well, I tried forty years ago now, and no "expletives" were heard (nor could have been understood, if there were!), when I purchased ten train tickets for our little group when we wanted to travel from Paris to visit Versailles for the day. I couldn't let six years of public school French instruction go to waste! French is the ancestral language of a lot of my family, so I felt some obligation to TRY to learn it. Alas, I stumble along. My efforts produced a knowing smile from the nice French man in the ticket booth for the train. The older shopkeepers in the grocery in Paris were very accommodating and friendly too. But that was forty years ago, much closer to the realities of the Americans going there to help relieve the world of a Monster in WW2. The older French were still feeling very grateful. I had a similar experience in Italy nearly twenty years ago when two elderly Italian ladies helped me find my group when I went out of the "wrong" gate in Pisa. My Italian was pretty much limited to "Gratzi," and I think I even messed that up a bit! They were so kind, so sweet. You could just see that they "remembered."
I know Italy is on the "nice" list on the language map, but I'm glad to have had a chance to share two of my very fond memories of my limited experiences as an American trying to do her best to make sure they understood that I appreciated and respected their beautiful languages, despite my lingual inadequacies!
I'm glad you had such wonderful experience! It was quite different for me when I was there about 50 years ago, working and living on a small stipend, not as a tourist.
Mind you, I learned sufficient colloquial French then, which stood me in good stead many decades later when my late husband and I visited a chateau and I was able to chat with the tourist guide as if there was no tomorrow.
I wish I could have been conversant! I never got there - not enough use. Immersion is the key! I will occasionally binge on "Astrid," the French detective show, with subtitles, available on PBS, but oh, the French speak at lightning speed! Oy!
No, one would have to live there, as you did, in order to "get" it. I'm afraid (sigh ..) that is the only way.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us, Vivian. It opened up tales of the experiences of others, which is always so helpful I think!
Happy New Year to you too, Susan - yes, immersion is the key - and reading! Even if it's slow at first, with the dictionary next to the book: reading great literature in the original is well worth all the effort. I've still got some of the paperbacks (Dumas, Count of Monte Cristo, Zola) which i bought in Paris all those decades ago ...
That is a GREAT idea, Vivian! I think that would also help me overcome my need to be so linear in my attempts at trying to speak French. I would become more accustomed to the construction. I do have a Bible in French. I could start with that. My seventh grade French/English dictionary is in my bookcase upstairs, right alongside my French language records. Thank you, Vivian!
Same thing in Quebec, Canada where the french language perdominates. If you can't fake it with Quebec French (Parsian French won't do) then you will be shunned. I did a couple of jobs there and they can be rude outside of the tourist traps
For your amusement here is a joke my wife tolld me:
A quebec frenchman and a Newfoundlander (she is a newfie) were walking on the beach one day after a storm. They discovered a bottle that had washed up. The frenchman pulls out the cork and out pops a Genie. "Oh thankyou, I've been in there a thousand years. I will grant each of you any wish" says the Genie. The Frenchie says "I love my Belle Province of Quebec so to protect it I want you to build a wall all around my province a thousand feet high so no one can get in or get out." Poof the genie grants his wish. The newfie asks "so nothing can get in and nothing can get out?" "Yes says the Genie". Newfie says "Then fill it full of water!".
Absolutely - but try and visit some places in Wales where most people still have Welsh as their first language! Suddenly, shop keepers can't udenrstand english ... and if you go into a pub there, everybody suddenly stops talking, someone says 'Saesneg' (that's "english people" in Welsh, and then not a single word of English will be heard once they start talking again ... (The only cure for that is starting to talk about Welsh Rugby - trust me! - and then the best and most fiery debates will be had, in english!)
When my mom took my sisters , and I to Wales to see where my grandma grew up and the house she lived in as a child. We have family there and they held a pot luck dinner for us. It was so fun to meet family. They talked about the worry of loosing the Welsh language. They were going to teach Welsh in the schools so that the language would not be lost. Maybe that is why the people were speaking Welsh. My grandma used to love watched Tom Jones Show because at the end of the show he would speak in Welsh.
It is indeed a beautiful language and many non-native speakers try to learn it later in life (me as well). it's especially wonderful when sung, and some of the most beautiful hymns come from Wales - translated into English. 'Guide me oh thou great Jehova' is one of them, and allegedly the Welsh soldiers sang this in the trenches of WWI.
The Welsh love singing, and when 70.000 fans sing the Welsh national anthem in the big rugby stadium it's a sound which is unforgettable.
Oh, and in the film 'Zulu' it's the Welsh singing 'Men of Harlech' ... there's a famous clip of this on youtube, but it sounds better sung in a stadium by Welsh fans, LOL.
My grandmother was a singer as am I. When she was sixteen she won an Eisteddfod and her sister sang with the London Opera company. She was able to sing for Madame Patti the opera singer. My grandmother’s favorite song was All Through the Night. When my mom took her mother back to the “ old country” they went to hear the Male Treorchy Choir. We had relatives singing in it. When mom took us girls to Wales our cousin took us to a rehearsal of the Male Treorchy Choir. We didn’t have any relatives singing in it but we got to go and listen to them rehearse . I got to stand by them and look at their music. It was written in solfège. Do Re Mi. That is how my grandmother learned to read music was from the Solfège scale.
I live in Cardiff, just down the road from Merthyr Tydfil but my daughter and granddaughter live in West Wales, near Cardigan. The welsh Male voice choirs really are something else, aren't they! No wonder that there's Tom 'The Voice' Jones (also from practically up the road from Cardiff) as well as the world famous Baritone Bryn Terfel. My favourite song is 'Calon Lan', btw.
We visited Cardiff. Bryn Terfel has a beautiful voice. Calon Lan is a beautiful song. My mom would sing it. She learned it from Grandma. When I was in Wales I found a music shop and bought a couple of music books that had Welsh songs in it. I ave my grandma’s Welsh cakes recipe. Sooo good. So are you Welsh? My Welsh grandma married a Dane. Hence the blonde hair.
I was living in Germany and going to school from '72-'74 and visiting friends in Paris from time to time. I spoke very little French, but found they valued pronunciation more than literacy or vocabulary. Most of the people I knew, even strangers, wanted to speak English so it was a bit tricky trying to work on my German, but it all worked out eventually. By the time I left, they were complimenting me on my German, so I still had a ways to go as I didn't see any of them complimenting each other...
Dr. Malone, being a man of such high intellect and education your sense of humor is gutter level and I love it! It's refreshing, inspiring, and shows your humanity. So glad we are on the same team.
Thank you for your humor and all that you do. I hope you and Jill had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you have an even better New Year in 2026! Look how far you have come in five years. It is amazing. What was meant for evil against you, God made it for good.
I start with start with my 5th unvaccinated winter healthy - debating on whether to decline my severely afflicted with flu, great cook, boss lady's bringing me a belated share of her Christmas dinner on the 1st. After all, I did get my only case of covid after her newly recovered covid illness visit.
Next, the Chihuahuas by G7. Spent a week pet sitting with 6 in a basement. They weren't allowed out for fear a hawk would get them. And yes, they were closer to the one on the right. They are close to the bottom of my list of desirable dogs.
Go Franklin! The theme bemuses.
Would that, in the 250th year, more of today's 'Washington and his troops' appear to assure the UK-Pence subversives are decisively routed!
Questions -
How on earth do the Steve Cohens of the Congress get elected? How does a mayor in Mass. who can't speak english, an illegal alien mayor (?) in Minn get elected? Too many voters need some serious education!
On the horizon, 2026 is looming. Time to ready to prevail!
Enjoy a great weekend! Take heart with the many positives.
The Battle of Trenton was a Special Forces Operation which changed the trajectory of the war. The Continental Army (rag tag as they were) beat the Hessians, the greatest European Army at that time. I will say unapologetically, it was by God’s Providence.
It was the blood, sweat, and tears, of the Continental Army that secured our freedom, not the signing of the Declaration of Independence, even though it was the document that catapulted us toward freedom.
The cost of Freedom requires sacrifice, and that is why we just celebrated the birth of Christ—He was born to die, so we could live in freedom of His salvation from sin.
1776-2026: 250 years of Freedom, if you fight for it.
AND interestingly enough, those Hessians, who were hired by King George, when given the opportunity, switched sides and became UNPAID fighters for freedom. amazing.
My daughter lives in Morrisville, PA, across the Delaware from Trenton, and drives through Washington Crossing on her way to work. I’ve done it many times and have meandered through the park. It’s the most beautiful area of Bucks County PA. I got a real smile reading that one.
That one about the woman afraid she may have gotten the guy pregnant reminds me of my granddaughter's college graduation party. Her step-sister came and brought her boy/girlfriend(?). The step-sister has been taking testosterone. Her voice is deeper, but she still looks like a woman. The boyfriend is pretending to be a girl. So, between them, they have all the right parts...
This makes me think that the only people who will date trans people are those that have "switched" their sex too.
About the "NGO" meme. According to Google there are (at present) "one-million-five-hundred-thousand" "NGO"s in the USA. Most are supposedly "non profit" but presidents, CEO's and Board members pull down BIG bucks. MANY are funded by the federal government - and George Soros funds hundreds of Socio/Commie front groups that hate the USA.
In a recent stand up routine he was pointing out that by Trump saying that pregnant women should not take Tylenol, the web went viral with pregnant women taking Tylenol.
So, he tried for days to contact the President to ask him to tell all women to not have sex with him. He could not get through.
I saw where Rob Schneider did a thoughtful Epoch Times vide (w/transcript) speaking with Jan Jekielek not too long ago. Haven't had time to study it in great depth. Did see where he is now being ostracized by Hollywood for speaking his thoughts out loud.
I watched that interview and Schneider shared a story about bumping into Robert DeNiro at the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. Robert DeNiro was shocked that Schneider was in such close proximity. Rob Schneider looked at the face of DeNiro and said wow, I love you man. I have always followed your work. DeNiro was confused and just turned away, clearly disarmed by the adulation from the opposite side.
Much of the interview was about the lack of discourse between both sides, and I think he did mention that many people have ostracized him for not being part of the herd.
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
Ha ha ha.... You must have been reading my emails. I've had that wonderful quote from the great Thomas Sowell emblazoned across the bottom of my emails as a signature line for several years now.
Oh that Steve Cohen... Now there's a real critical thinker for ya.
I was reading an article yesterday about the attacks on the terrorists in Nigeria. Apparently PDJT called up the Nigerian president and condemned the targeting of Christians in his country. Upon which the Nigerian replied No, this is not a problem. the muslims are not targeting just Christians, they attack everybody equally... So, what was PDJT to say to that: Oh, well as long as it's all equal excuse me for bringing it up?
Liberal logic will leave a sane person severely befuddled.

Ironically provincial French is so different from Parisian they cannot understand one another

How about the Brits? They speak an unknown English dialect. Ex: Wotah means water; and they have some aversion to the letter Z.... Nuff said.

As for Tom Jones: what a voice!
Everyone stops talking? I'd most likely give the internationally known 'finger' - and leave...
Ah, but you'd miss out on a) cultural enrichment and b) some great local brews!
IF I were 50 years younger - and there was at least ONE hot looking babe in the pub - I'd stay. LOL!
That was beautiful. I love my Welsh heritage.

These were truly the best funnies because they were acerbically accurate in depicting the nature of our society. Good Job whoever picked them out.
