✿ - from anyone u want

10: french kiss

"Excuse me, but I need to ask you something…Can I give you a kiss of sorts? Perhaps one from the country of France?"

[dramatisklilje]

"Excuse me?" He honestly did not understand half of that.

[cfdualities-a-deactivated202107]

"I’m asking if I can give you a kiss…A French kiss…."

[dramatisklilje]

Fu-reeenchi. Kisu...Sounds like...OH. Oh okay. "You're asking me if..." He pauses. "If you can...french kiss me?"

4. Sitting next to each other on a packed bus or train

He hadn’t expected the train to be so full today, so there he was, trying to save as much space as possible with a few empty flowerpots stacked on top of each other on his lap. His stop wasn’t coming up for a while, so who knew how long the train would be so cramped.

Well, might as well make conversation with the person next to him, what’s the worst that can happen? Probably murder but- No nevermind let’s not think about that. Vanja turned his head to his neighbor and cleared his throat. “The train isn’t normally like this. Not sure why it’s so busy today.”

[dramatisklilje]

"Ahh, you’re welcome miss! I’m pretty sure anyone would think the same thing as me about your job, it is very neat." He nodded to himself. "And thank you, im-i-ta-te. Imitate. There we go."

"Wooow! That’s a lot of languages! " He counted them off as she listed them as well. "That’s uh…ichi…go, roku…hachi…Eight whole languages you’re fluent in! That’s impressive I’ve never met someone who knows that much. I only know Norwegian, English, and a bit of Japanese haha.”

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

"Heh, thanks again!" Lorelai gave a small nod. "It probably helps that I grew up speaking two languages - my parents taught me English, and their native language, which was Khmer. And from there I started studying other languages. Spanish and French were pretty easy, but I think Japanese has to be the hardest I’ve learned yet, what with the different alphabets and all."

"You’d be surprised, though - I heard the world record for most languages spoke fluently was 57!"

[dramatisklilje]

"No problem once again." Vanja tilted his head a bit. "I only know English since I lived in a rather wealthy family and went to private school. My parents hoped I would go to Amerika for...høyskole so English was necessary to learn."

"Woooah, really? That seems im-impossible. I know a bit of different languages but I could never be fluent in them."

[dramatisklilje]

"Ohhhh, that’s cool! It seems hard but you do it so easily! Dialects are like, region speech then? Okay. Now I know that word." You learn something new each day, in his case it’s quite a few things each day.

"It seems fun! Do you know other…umm…langua-languages? too or are you just able to." Dangit why’d he choose a complicated sentence like this. "Imitere dialects? Sorry I don’t know quite enough of the language yet.”

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

"Ah, thank you!" Lorelai nodded. "It is pretty hard to learn at first; it definitely helped me that I already knew quite a bit about linguistics, and how different regions form different dialects and such."

Lorelai giggled a bit at Vanja’s mispronunciation of the word. “Don’t worry; everyone makes mistakes when learning new languages; especially one as complex as Japanese. The word I think you’re looking for is ‘imitate.’” Lorelai cocked her head to the side.

"But yes, now that you ask, I do!" Lorelai counted off each language on her fingers. "I know English, Khmer, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, German and Japanese. I’m still learning Japanese, though, so I’m not fluent quite yet."

[dramatisklilje]

"Ohhh. Okay I don’t know why I didn’t assume you knew from my name." He half sighed, half laughed. "But your a uhhh…dia-dialect? coach? What’s that mean?" This is actually his first time hearing the word ‘dialect’ in Japanese.

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

"Oh! It means I teach actors and actresses how to speak in different accents or dialects for their roles in movies or tv shows! Like, if a character is from the deep south…" Lorelai changed her voice to a typical "Southern Belle" voice. "Ah teach ‘em how ta sound somethin’ like this."

Switching back into her normal voice, Lorelai continued, “It’s actually a really fun job!”

[dramatisklilje]

[dramatisklilje]

He chuckled. “It’s probably just a very busy day. Nothing much to it.”

"I am! I’m from Norway! How’d you know?" Was his accent that bad? He’s been here for like a year he thought his accent improved, well it did but he guesses not that much.

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

"Heh, ya accent an’ ya name." Instead of speaking in her normal, natural dialect, Lorelai instead used a Brooklyn accent as she explained. "I’ve studied linguistics, an’ I’m a dialect coach, so I can tell where people’re from offa that sorta thing."

[dramatisklilje]

"Ohhh. Okay I don't know why I didn't assume you knew from my name." He half sighed, half laughed. "But your a uhhh...dia-dialect? coach? What's that mean?" This is actually his first time hearing the word 'dialect' in Japanese.

[dramatisklilje]

"Maybe that’s it. Though if they’re all going to an event, wouldn’t we get news about it?" He nodded, it was pretty good they were able to get seats what with this whole train being crowded. "Mm, it’s very good we don’t have to stand. That’s not the funnest."

Vanja took one of his hands off of his flowerpots and shook her hand. “Vanja. It’s uh, nice to meet you miss Lorelai.”

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

"You would think so…ah, who knows?" Lorelai gave a dismissive wave of her hand.

"And nice to meet you, as well." Lorelai smiled and shook the others hand, taking note of the flowerpots in his lap. "Hmmm…Vanja." Lorelai tilted her head at the foreign name, as well as Vanja’s accent. "You are from…Scandinavia, correct?"

[dramatisklilje]

He chuckled. "It's probably just a very busy day. Nothing much to it."

"I am! I'm from Norway! How'd you know?" Was his accent that bad? He's been here for like a year he thought his accent improved, well it did but he guesses not that much.

[shsldialectcoachlorelai]

Lorelai glanced over at the person sitting next to her who had just spoken up, and shook her head. “I don’t know either; maybe there’s some sort of big event going on that we’re not aware of?” Lorelai shrugged. “I don’t mind too much though; at least we don’t have to stand, right?”

Lorelai smiled and extended her hand. “I’m Lorelai, by the way.”

[dramatisklilje]

"Maybe that's it. Though if they're all going to an event, wouldn't we get news about it?" He nodded, it was pretty good they were able to get seats what with this whole train being crowded. "Mm, it's very good we don't have to stand. That's not the funnest."
