I hate the sound of women singing opera, it sounds like a cat caught in a roller door. I don't mind the blokes singing and I like classical music.

No, i have not given up on my mother tongue it's just that hubby who is a native english  speaker can't comprehend german. I'ts too complicated. english is so simple that it appears to be made for toddlers. Not much grammar and no beauty whatsoever. i can understand that it must be VERY hard to learn a language that contains a mentionable amount of grammar.

I only listen to german opera. there is mozart and he is so entertaining.

pimpy, you have not heard the right pieces.

i am sorry to inform you that i can't think of anything you would like as you  would need to understand the lyrics and i don't think there is anything good in english as they have have no soul therefore there are no english operas worth listening to.

Meine Liebe Frau, perhaps you might be receptive to expanding your vistas embrace the culture of other languages 🙂

i am typing bleeping english aren't i?

how many languages to you speak as well as i speak english?

Probably none.

And not only have you managed to learn English but you have also managed Australian attitudes as well, Hubby must be a very good tutor.

whatcha mean with aussie attitudes?

hubby is a  pom.

bleeping typos t=d

i am still thinking if i should go down to glenelg to be kissed by beefcakes or just stay home listening to music.
