do you think, Santa is married??

 

[pdswife]

He must be... cuz did you know in 3rd grade I played Mrs. Santa in a school play???

 

[cara]

are YOU Ms. Santa???

 

[Piccolina]

are YOU Ms. Santa???

I might be (lol)...

Santa is married....In a Christmas cartoon show from the 1970's she's named as "Jessica" (I feel a kinship to her for that )...Do you think the Claus's have any children of their own?

 

[pdswife]

Do you now I really hope so, don't you think they would make the
perfect grandma and grandpa???

 

[cara]

do you know that my world begins to tumble down........?

 

[pdswife]

Is that a song Cara?

 

[cara]

don`t know.... it`s a direct translation from german... don`t you say so in USA?

 

[Piccolina]

Hmmmm, it's not a common phrase in the US/Canada, we might say "our world came crashing down" or "it all fell apart"

Do you know I always find it interesting to learn what common phrases exist in other languages that we don't say in English?

 

[pdswife]

What do they say in Ireland?

 

[cara]

piccolina, do you know that that makes translations very difficult?

 

[cartwheelmac]

Cara and Piccolina, do you guys read this website in a language other than English?

[pdswife]

Oh goodness... wouldn't it be a lot of translating if they didn't read it in English??

 

[cara]

I read it in english... but what do you think you would do, if you are not a native speaker to this language but learned it at school 15 years ago??

 

[Maidrite]

Good Question, They say if you do not use it, you lose it do you think this is True ?

 

[cartwheelmac]

Yes, I think it is very true don't you?

Cameron

 

[Barbara L]

Yes it is true. Do you know that I have known people who have completely lost their native language when they moved to another country?

Barbara

 

[cara]

hmm... don`t you think that will come back if you start using the language again?
(Well, I have the feeling, that my english improves again.. but maybe its only a feeling... )

 

[cartwheelmac]

It probaly will, but what if it does not?
