French

I am fascinated by the words that our former summer guest uses on Facebook. If I ever thought that I could learn some of that language by seeing what she writes, I've been disabused of that notion.

For example, here is something she wrote in response to a post on her wall by another girl who said that she wanted a muffin:

mwa ossi jve un muffins tro bonne aprem passer avc toi

Say what? I decode it as follows:

Moi aussi! Je (something, possibly 'love') un muffin trop apres-midi passer avec toi!

which becomes, I think -

Me, also! I'd love to get a muffin with you this afternoon too!


Man, my head hurts. Why doesn't Rosetta Stone teach teen French?
