I'm not a native speaker! only a nosy student of literature and music, my native language is English.

I depend on people like Monique to keep me honest! Really.

Dear Nat K Cole, I love his Christmas album but I always have to brace myself not to giggle when he sings O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter. Give him an "A" for effort, you know, but he's not at home there, he's only visiting.
