### Dorothy Parker

by nadir » Fri Jan 17, 2014 3:51 am

I watched a film called: Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
I liked it a lot (that is why i post this at all).
I barely know american literature (to be more exact: non-german literature). A couple of - most famous - names, but not who, when, based on whom, etc. And, of course, in a non-native language you don't fully get everything (lol: i often got hard times in my native language).
Anyway: I think here writings were good too (from what the film quoted).
Gotta love the local library.

Yes, indeed. And i wasn't even prepared for it ....
(It's been a few good hours, but that is nitpicking. In fact it have been 2*few-good-hours, as i watched the film a second time. Tough English, for someone like me ...).
Really worth watching.

For sure, some Englishmen around here don't have nadir's understanding of English! (puts my German to shame)

Thanks.
We could always train your German.
I didn't learn much English at school (school was ok, but i was lazy). At 30 i didn't know what to read anymore, so i started to learn English. I read books (Sherlock Holmes, Jack London and similar books). That was quite exhausting (i had to use the dict so much). Then i used audio-books. That was a bit better than books, as you could hear it again and again, and get used to the phonetics (bit harder than reading though). Then i discovered film-DVD's, and used German subtiltels. I think that is the best approach of all (i then switched to English subtitles). Then i started with computing, and Linux gave me the chance to use English settings (seeing it every day helps a lot, but you only learn a very few words and they all are computer related).
What i miss is a chance to speak it in real life.
Just in case anyone plans to learn any language (short version: i would go for films and watch them with subtibles).
