it's an entirely different language
I would've thought you'd be able to grasp that

Yeah, but all my languages have vaguely logical patterns to them.
I understand not all letters are pronouced the same. For example, Latin cs are hard, so caesar is pronouced closer to kaiser than seezar. But it doesn't really follow any logical-to-me pattern and I find it disconcerting.

oh yeah, the language is nonsense
my ex was fluent. I learnt 2 phrases in the 4 years I was there, and I could only say one when drunk.

I didn't even dare try and pronounce her full name in case I got it wrong, because it had ll in the middle

My friend has that problem with his name. He's Russki though.

the amusing thing is that her name was close in meaning to "tablecloth"
Russian is a sexy language. Friend of mine at uni could speak it. Gave me the right horn. Might partly have been because she was smoking hot, and was wearing a white furry bra, white hot pants and big white furry boots at the time. and wings.

Second languages are always a bit of a turn on.
