My accent is definitely Slovak... sigh. I wish I could figure out how to roll my r's. Reading dialogues all night out loud to myself, trying to adjust my voice into this sound. I stumble over these consonants, it's frustrating. I just want to be able to speak confidently in this language. I want to go to Prague and be able to wander around and understand what people say.
I love my Russian, even though it keeps creeping into my head at inopportune moments. It gets all mixed up in my Czech. Thank goodness I'm not the only one, Tatiana is a native Russian, and Analisa's got it too. We have one native Czech guy in the class. I'm not sure why he is there, as it seems like he knows a lot of the language. What drives me crazy is not that he always has the answer but that he is so humorless and cold in the class. One gets the feeling he looks down on the rest of us when we stumble over sounds and cases.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to figure out what the story is with the Co-op and my textbooks. Maybe do the paper work to change my major to Czech. I want to get some plastic wrap from the store so I can make soaps this week and wrap them up. Must get sleep so I can find my Foreign Policy class tomorrow morning. My bed and my lovely red sheets are calling me....
