TGIF: Amusing Volkswagen ad August 24, 2012
Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Fun stuff, TGIF.1 comment so far
This ad for Volkswagen is currently running on television, and it made me chuckle. Oh, if only it were that easy to learn a language fluently…
Sorry for the lack of blog posts. I’ve been overworked and also haven’t felt inspired to blog about anything recently.

And now for something completely different than the upsetting news article… I hope you enjoy reading 25 handy words that simply don’t exist in English from the blog So Good, So Good. My favorite was Backpfeifengesicht – A face badly in need of a fist. I can honestly say I hadn’t ever heard this one in the 27 years I’ve been learning and speaking German. And for what it’s worth, we do have a word for Bakku-shan in English. It’s ‘butterface’. And thus ends today’s English lesson… LOL!
Is there a word in your language you feel that should be included on the list? Please share it with us in the comments!
