Friederike in Persia Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Couldn't we gather "Merry Christmas" in a few languages? Some of you must play this game as a family as well. I'll start: Frohe Weihnachten (German) Aidi Tabaludi Isa muborak (Tajik) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Go here: http://www.auslan.org.au/ Type "Happy" into the search box. Type "Christmas" into the search box. We don't sign "Christmas" straight down like that, though. Must be some dialect difference. We bounce our hand back and forwards a bit on the way down. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Of course if you live in Barcelona, you'd be exposed to them. What I meant to say is those languages are rarely taught in schools as second languages. Although I believe things are changing, I can find basque tapes at the local bookstores, and Catalan too. And various other languages that make me go huh? Once there was an african dialect I had never heard of. I checked it out and it's spoken by one tribe in South Africa. Why would a local bookstore (Chapters, the Canadian B&N) stock those tapes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
