What?
Common French phrase as mangled by a native Chinese speaker: "Mexi-bugoo". When I didn't understand him, he said, "Guess you don't speak French, huh." When I finally figured it out, I have to say I'm proud not to have laughed. Yeah, *my* skills are definitely the problem here.
Observation of the day: apparently, saying, "Ich spreche nicht Deutche," very slowly means, "I don't speak German, but please feel free to go full speed ahead, anyway."
'night.
