I have never had that "hey, I can speak this language" moment, but I have thought, "hey, Kendra can speak this language..." p-) I don't think it's right to fall in love in Switzerland anyway. It has to be France. Thought you would like this. I have never had that “hey, I can speak this language” moment, but I have thought, “hey, Kendra can speak this language…” p-)

While I get to experience the joy of being a non-native speaker of a language that I work in every day, I was particulary struck with the converse sense of, "hey, I can speak this language" when I stumbled upon a Spaniard in Switzerland. After a week of barely bumbling through mundane phrases in French, I could finally intelligibly converse with someone, expressing opinions and even supporting them! I had never felt so free in Spanish - Even though nobody fell in love with me in three hours :( Exactly.

If his company/employer wants to fire him for saying stupid things and causing an image problem for them, fine. That's their prerogative. But I'm tired of this whining about how he should lose his job because he's racist, as if there's a law against that. The people clamoring for his firing want to see him gone because "you just shouldn't be able to get away with saying things like that." Bull. If his company doesn't like it, then fine. But if other people don't like it, they can change the channel. His company will get the message. Exactly.
