You're most welcome!

Taihen domo arigatosu! Nihonwa arimasu?

Me too - I'm quite partial to tiramisu.

Aye, slips down lovely, with some of that grated artisan cheese.

The words of love, c'est la francaise!
A man in love will try
To use it several times a day,
But no-one can say why.

Ma belle poupee, ma petite chatte,
Je t'aime, my beauteous wench.
I had to use some English there,
'Cos we don't know any French.

As I said - our local polyglot.
A sweet poem that I'm tempted to emend but won't. :smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin:

I suspect, Bar, tht your French is a million times better than mine. I learned it at school up till 1973 (!), and I've used it exactly once since. That was to direct a truck driver who is probably, 18 years later, still wandering around unable to find the place he was looking for. Ah well, stick to German!

No, twice at least. The second time when you met the "petite" of your poem!

Were it German, I wouldn't have been so sure of myself. But you can try my Portuguese. :smilewinkgrin:

Ah, the petite of the poem knows about much French as I do - which considering on particular mistake is just as well!!!!! Portuguese I can't help with, though I have quite a few friends who are native Portuguese speakers,

people, don't tempt me with tiramisu!

Dafy, very enchanting and cuté. Your français just inspired me to write a póeme nouveau...

Your discretion is much appreciated, Bar!
