Last Christmas, I Gave You My TET

[Kannap]

I hear swirlies are good for getting things out of your hair :p

What are swirlies?

I've only ever seen them happen in popular 80s and 90s American comedic high school television shows, but when you put somebody's head in the toilet and flush said toilet.

Never seen it happen in reality.

What are swirlies?

It's a school prank where you put someone's head in the toilet and flush it. I wasn't being serious, obviously.

Oh, that. Yeah, I've seen those in American 1980s movies.

No, it's alright, it's just that I am not American so the term was a tad confusing. I have seen the thing happen in movies but I had no idea that was one of the names it went by.

Ok, thanks. I had never heard the term before.

[Kannap]

Sleep with her son to get back at her.

Her shitty fucking brat is as ugly as she is, and I'm also not a goddamn pedophile.

Ah, was assuming she was an older woman whose children would all be of age.

But don't sleep with the ugly son of the ugly monster.

[Kannap]

In my life, yes.

May we know what that is

I return to the mountain retreat.

You speak such good English that it's easy for me to forget that it's not your native tongue. Your English is better than some native Americans, I daresay.

I thank my tutors for hammeri- I mean, teaching me so well. >.> Yes, that.

I will say, though, that English is, IMO, a language you only truly comprehend once you move to an English speaking country and have to use it regularly. The sanitized versions you learn in the classroom do not prepare you as well for the real thing.

English is many things, but sanitary is not one of them.

I beg your pardon?

Would you believe that I've never been to an English speaking country?

You obviously don't fully comprehend the language then. *nod*

It's the language of the peasantry! o/

No, really, there are many nuances in your language that can confuse a lot until you get the context in which they're said. For instances, idioms. Jeebus Craig, I had quite the time getting expressions like ''they're pulling the wool over your eyes'' right. I just saw, literally, someone wrapping wool around someone's head to cover their eyes. Literally Lizzy here. xp

Hooves, come 'ere. Come 'ere, I say. See that ''IMO'' there? What does that mean, huh? HUH?! It means ''In My Opinion'', not ''In My Onion''.

No cud for you, mister!

*chews on your scarf*

That will do.

Regardless, in general you are correct, that a language is best learned outside the classroom. The classroom is just to get some basics going, and help with issues, learning a language is best with other people, not from a book

But you don't necessarily have to be in a native speaker's country for that. English, especially, works well as a lingua franca in many parts of the world, eg. Scandinavia.

I guess I should've added that due to the root differences, when it comes to Spain, yes, English is better often better understood in an English speaking country. At least in my experience. And that's not to say that a Spanish speaking person can't understand the language just from the classroom, but certain nuances of it are better grasped when you go to an English speaking country.

And don't forget that the average Dutch citizen gets exposed to heavy doses of British and American movies and television series, all subtitled. We tend to hear a lot of English in comparison to the people in countries where everything is dubbed in order to keep those scary foreign languages away from the innocent, pure children.

Hehe, reminds me of speaking French with Portuguese people. It works wonders, they speak slow and clear.

On similar vein, there was earlier today on Finnish part of Tumblr discussion on "Can you imagine how cringey hollywood movies would be, if they would be dubbed in Finnish". Earlier I posted here a one example someone forgeried to make a point.
I wonder if this sentiment is more universal.

I did not have good Spanish in school. It's the way they structure it
