One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well I’m Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. I’m Greek.
One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I’m not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said “oh no I’m Brazilian hahah” and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, “I’m Brazilian too”
When my dad went to China on a work trip, his Mandarin speaking wasn’t great but his listening was fine (his first language is Cantonese) and he encountered a German guy who had moved to China to work. My dad knew how to speak German because he studied it in university (but wasn’t great when it came to listening to new vocab he hadn’t studied before), and the German guy knew Mandarin because he lived and worked in China, so they had a conversation where my dad spoke to the German guy in German and the guy responded in Mandarin. I’m sure it confused a lot of their coworkers who just saw the Asian guy speaking German and the white guy speaking Mandarin.
Some years ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that had a service depot in China. One of the engineers from the main office here in the US spent most of his time at the depot. The problem was that he didn’t speak *any* of the various Chinese languages, and no one at the depot spoke any English.
They all, however, spoke Spanish.
I love the world
jonathan: I’m trapped in a horror beyond my comprehension. I’ll be dead in a month. I live in constant terror.
lucy: I got proposed to by a cowboy!!!
it’s so funny to me that everyone depicts Quincey Morris as this rooty-tooty-point-and-shooty cowboy stereotype when Lucy specifies in her letter that he’s actually very well-educated and doesn’t use “Texan slang” around most people
just like
modern Quincey as the American exchange student who’s from Austin and went to Harvard for undergrad, but wearily trots out the Yeehaw™ when his very sweet, very earnest British crush asks him to
Dear Mina,
Today three guys asked for my hand in marriage. The first was kind of a loser nerd, the second was a sexy cowboy, and the third was my crush (we made out lol). I wish polygamy was legal.
Love,
Lucy
Imagine if you will a complete inversion of a boorish American on St. Patrick’s Day. Imagine an Irishman who aggressively celebrates the Fourth of July with unabashed gusto, who desperately tries to claim the significance of some alleged 1/32 American heritage, who wears a shirt with an eagle turning into an American flag and who drinks a specialty red, white, and blue novelty beverage until he collapses in a pool of tricolor vomit. Imagine some guy so invested in a superficial, touristy version of Americaness that he will nervously call the side with his $20 “authentic” hamburger “freedom fries” out of fear of offending. Imagine a guy who upon meeting any American will try to strike up a friendly conversation by asking them what their favorite gun is and talking about how personally inspiring he finds Abraham Lincoln.
You must understand, as you prepare to read the May 24th entry of this novel, that this Irishman is Bram Stoker.
I love how you guys are discovering spicy Hungarian paprika, and yes it is super good! But as a Hungarian I feel like it’s my duty to mention that paprika hendl is simply german for our national dish paprikás csirke and it is Not made with spicy paprika. It’s got sweet paprika. Jonathan Harker is unfortunately just british.
