Learning to speak a third language can be tedious but fun. I remember my former German boss back home, Maximilian, and a German friend I met in Laos, Frank, who kept convincing me to learn Deutsch. I liked it so I joined a 6-month intensive German language programme at the language center of the Embassy of Germany in Laos in 1998. I was glad I learnt a lot, but sadly, I also almost forget them all now. Here are some that are still left in my notes.
