I have a LOT of catalan friends!! They were the first friends I made in Paris.. I can understand quite well catalan, but not talk.. it's very similar.. Laughing


Really? Very Happy Where are they from?

Catalan grammar is very, very close to French grammar... the oral language is quite different when you hear it... I mean they might sound quite different but when you see it on paper... Very Happy


They are from Barcelona and Girona.. Written catalan is pretty easy to understand I think, but true, oral catalan, it took me time to get used to it lol ..

For RedRose: sorry sorry, was the last comment about languages here... lol

To help you a little: Nowadays I think maybe I'm more grown up, because if I dream about a girl then a sexdream is inevitable. And however if you like a girl and you go to cinema with her and you look at her, thiking about sex will make her more beautiful, I think.
And with speaking different languages and with having another ethnical group, maybe you get more turned on.

and according to Admiral's theory and discovery, multi-lingual girls can more turn boys on.

No, I mean, if you think about having sex with her in the future, in this moment you also think she is prettier..., ...I think.

Because you normally search for unique specimen than for mass production. For me German girls are very unique.

There's an old cliche English phrase, "Love is blind." Love gives us eyes to see the beauty of a woman's soul.

Then there's the old phrase I just made up. "Desire is flat out drunken blind." Lust gives us a blindfold. Smile

Everyone falls prey to desire once, twice, or more. But it's better to be guided by love rather than lust in most situations.
