Okay, so some people learn a foreign language better in the bath. Or after it.
What can we say? 🙂

For those who spell, that word should have been “Hear”, or, better, “Earhay”.

Utbay, Ancynay, ancay ouyay itewray oetrypay in igpay atlinlay?
When I studied in Russian in college (short-lived, long story), every time the professor would call on me I knew I couldn’t answer in English. Since I was not yet even mildly functional in Russian, my brain instinctively went to Spanish. It was embarrassing, among other things. I mention that now, because when I just tried to speak to Ancynay in igpay atinlay, half of it wanted to come out in Spanish Pig Latin.
Is there such a thing?

This reminded me of Cheaper by the Dozen, too! The dad wrote lessons all over the bathroom walls so the kids wouldn’t waste a moment and learn even while in there. The book is a hoot! And it’s a true story.

Back in the day
of basketball games and lots of bus rides, we used to speak something
called Foo.
I just realized
right now that it must be a cousin of miss Piggy
Latin.
