How many unfinished books do you have laying around? Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:09:29 AM 907 Views
oh my gosh. I just realized I don't have any. nossy - 28/07/2010 03:12:23 AM 644 Views
Quick! Buy one and leave it on your shelf! *NM* Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:21:32 AM 425 Views

True, but it's not too hard French either, as I recall. *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:10:21 PM 388 Views
Ça, c'est vrai. Mais c'est bien plus difficile que la langue maternelle du lecteur. *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 03:10:50 PM 417 Views
Vraiment, et j'étudiais ce langue pour juste deux ans. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:34:00 PM 617 Views
I still think it's ridiculous to claim you're bad at languages. Legolas - 28/07/2010 07:50:06 PM 730 Views
Bull-headed perserverance isn't the same as skill. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 09:27:06 PM 612 Views
