Talk Foreign

[Zero#Hash]

Ok, so this is a game which I think could be pretty fun… Works like this…

You translate the sentence in the post above yours from English into another language (one that you know – Googling the translation doesn’t count!)

Then you leave another random English sentence for the next person to translate.

This game only works if you speak more than one language though…

Since there’s nothing for me to translate, I shall leave the first random sentence.

Lasst alle Hoffnung fahren, die, die ihr hier eintretet.

Proper German, this time:

Bitte legen sie die Buntstifte in die farblich entsprechenden Schachteln/Boxen/Kisten (German has at least 3 words for everything).
