Interesting stuff.

So yellow is now tied with red in my poll. I pick the tie breaker, so unless something changes yellow it is! Actually I won't buy a yellow car. I will find the right one first and then have it painted.

The Independence Bible School is having problems finding a language instructor, so they are looking at the Rosetta Stone software. However I found something interesting the other day. Free foreign language lessons over the Internet. With the key word being free. Arabic is on there but I have kinda given up that dream and moved on. Quite a few Chinese, French, Spanish. and even Latin. No Cherokee though. But I've already given you the Cherokee link. Here's a list of the number of speakers by language.

Luckily I already speak English (or attempt to). Take a look at this video I found. It's a Japanese game show on TV where the contestants watch someone trying to speak English and if they laugh they are beaten. It's hilarious (well I find it hilarious anyway but I'm odd). If you don't want to watch the whole thing, watch around the 2:45 - 3:45 mark. Trying to say 100 is awesome!




Great stuff. I could spend the rest of my life studying the Japanese culture and still not begin to understand it.
