Thread Name: BS: Sanskrit Theories Run Amok
Subject: RE: BS: Sanskrit Theories Run Amok
My wonderful little brother studied Russian, Hebrew, and Spanish when he was in high school. He studied them at the same time.

As a result of his efforts to assist his brothers in every way possible, I can say "bubble gum" and "I crave your body" in Hebrew. I can say hello and ask for vodka in Russian, and say "Beer! please" and "How much for the night?" in Spanish. (Actually, I can say more than that in Spanish, but that's pretty much all he taught us.)

He said that he didn't want us to get thirsty or horny in Mexico, Israel or Russia. Naturally, his two brothers have been to Germany, France, the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, and Canada. Apart from the four hours he spent in Juarez on day, he hasn't been to Mexico, Israel or Russia either.

By the way, I returned the favor to him for French.
