have a relaxing weekend :-)

Oh languages! I wish I could speak all languages in the world (or maybe just a few major ones) so that I can talk to everyone I meet. I thought it was cool that one can speak more than two languages. I started learning English when I was in elementary school. It was a required course though. I tried to learn Japanese when I was in middle school, then some French in high school. The French class was required but the Japanese was not. I then got interested in Dutch when I was in Belgium for my study abroad, so... I took a Dutch course. Well, this is not the end. I started Czech last year (self-learning). I thought I was cool. I am not! I don't think I can now handle a minimal conversation in Japanese, French, Dutch or Czech. All I know now is just saying "hi" or "how are you" or "thank you". And that's it! I have set a goal for this year: (not another language but) basic Czech. I'm now brushing up some words that I learned last year. Here are some of the very basic (maybe the only Czech phrases that I can still recall) in case you ever encounter a Czech business partner. I still think that it's cool that one can speak more than two languages :-) Also, don't you think that it would give you some little bonus points if you can speak (although very little) to your clients in their mother languages? Here you are:

Dobry den: hi/good day!
Dekuju: thanks!
Na shledanou: goodbye
Prominte: Execuse me!

Prosím: Please
Ano: yes
Ne: no

And this is the link to how to say hello to the world. Enjoy! :-)
By the way, what languages are you interested in learning?
