Hi!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is our third interview! I love them! We get to experience other accents, other cultures, other opinions, a new light..., we get involved in real/authentic conversation, we realise that communicating is much more than grammar and that our mistakes are not that important!
Klaus is a great person, I really enjoyed his visit! Despite the fact that he was born in Turkey, we can say he is an authentic English gentleman! No doubts! I imagine his garden, his roses, his house...
Hugs and kisses from Buenos Aires Klaus! Hope to see you soon!

Ladies and gentlemen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the warm welcome you extended to me. I really enjoyed the session, and I only hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. It was a great experience to be there with you. Sabrina´s enthusiasm is infectious, and her obvious love of teaching must make learning a real pleasure. Her words of praise for me, however, are far more than I deserve.
Finally, a word of warning: beware of "false friends", words that appear in both languages but that change meaning. I fell into that trap the day I was with you. I said that you were graciosos, believing it meant the same as the English word gracious. You were too polite to point out my mistake to me. By sheer coincidence, watching a film with subtitles, I found out yesteday that it actually means funny in Spanish. The correct translation of what I was trying to say would be cortés or gentil.
With my best wishes,
Klaus Laqueur
