    I asked my friend from Morocco. He says the cat is asking for mouse flavored “Jumbo”. Jumbo is a brand of stock cubes which normally come in flavors like beef, chicken or lamb. The shopkeeper replies “que” in Spanish which means “what?”





  • Of course it should be optional, no one said it should be mandatory

    I made the distinction because English and French were mandatory at my school in Germany. Many more languages were offered though if they had a teacher available. I remember Spanish, Italian and Chinese, I just can’t remember if Turkish was one of them.

    I feel like the defensiveness of that argument is not entirely accidental.

    My family is Kurdish, so I admit that maybe there’s a subconscious bias when learning Turkish comes up, if you know anything about the situation in Turkey and Kurdistan 🙂

    as if learning french in school would be relevant to the migration of germans to france.

    French skills are extremely valuable to Germans who want to work in Switzerland or Luxembourg

    Btw, ben de biraz türkçe biliyorum, ama çok konuşmiyorum… in my daily life 😅 Dunno how to say that last part










  • I remember a comedy sketch. A guy is walking down the street when a uniformed captain interrupts him angrily and asks why he’s not at work. The captain drags him to the docks and puts him to work. Turns out the guy is wearing a shirt with a generic print like ‘Navy Club Est. 1972’ - Does anyone remember where this is from?
