Languages - January 2007

I read a Sherlock Holms novel written by Doyle and Carr, and I have some questions.
1.I smoked many pipes of Ship's. Is Ship's a brand or tabacco shop in London?
2" Then I trust," I replied with dignity,"that your own mission on the Continent was a success?" "A touch, Watson! Pray forgive my outburst of nerves...." What does "a touch" mean here?
3. The elderly lady, who was wrapped in grey fur and had a good deal of nose, raised a hand to forestall her. What does"a good deal of nose" mean?
Thanks in advance.

IVRESSE


Je vous laisse la croix, la couronne et ses épines !
Ah vous mes cousines ! Ah vous mes cousines !

Allons ripailler nus au festin des citadelles !
Avec toi ma belle ! Avec toi ma belle !

Embrassons le vert des cimes impalpables.
Il est l’heure à table ! Il est l’heure à table !

Viens danser mes vertiges, le bruit des caravanes !
Mais sans ta peau d’âne ! Mais sans ta peau d’âne !

- Tu mourras seul et vieux, dans l’ivresse des vins !
- Ah vous mes cousines ! Mais l’or de vos venins ?

Hi -- just wondering if this is normal. She is VERY pregnant (haha), I know she should be having her kittens sometime this month. But is this normal? Or a sign she is due to have them very soon?

Thanks!

My mum wants to speak like Reba McIntire and I have been wanting to learn Cockney. I promised her I would find a way so that she doesn't have to speak with her boring Californian accent. Does anyone know how we can learn how to do accents?

How would you translate the following sentances into Arabic? I want to send a text message to my husbands other wife and I don't speak that much Arabic and she doesn't speak any English.

Keefik? How are the kids? Wallah I think about you and the kids everyday. I love you all, even though I never met you. I cannot wait to meet you. IT is important for us to meet, we will be best friends. I can't wait to meet the kids too. I am trying to learn alot of Arabic so we can communicate better, but I have a big accent. Talk to you later.

Hoy dia llamaron de dhl, que tenia que pagar 30 dolares, para recogerlo,

Mañana, veo de cancelarlo para que le puedan entregar el paquete.

Apenas lo reciba te aviso.

Despues de mucho llamar a DHL, ya me enviaron el paquete a casa, se pago 30 dolares, la bebe esta feliz anda en la nubes, con el regalo que le has dado.

Como sabia por Doris que era su regalo de Navidad, ya Doris le habia dado permiso de abrirlo si llegaba,

Asi que ha llegado, el dvd de la bebe, las gotas y el mp3 de doris.

Mike, ojo que ya cancele los 30 dolares aqui en peru, no vayas ha pagarlo alla porque ya lo pague aqui, y se pague doble.

No creo que Doris ande molesta contigo, lo que pasa que lega tarde por el trabajo que consiguio.

Asi que despreocupate por eso.

Asi que ya puedes estar tranuilo el paquete ya lklego a su destino.

Sobre el dinero, no te preocupes ya se cancelo, un chanchito pago pato. Lo importante es que la bebe y doris ya tienen su regalo de navidad.

Ademas, te entiendo, porque a veces yo hago lo mismo, cuando me escribes en ingles. Usar un traductor.

Sobre el horario de Doris, es algo dificl, anda trabajando como negra como dice ella, porque necesita juntar platra para matricular a la bebe este año.

Acuerdate que aqui una buena educacion no es gratuita.

De todas formas le voy hacer llegar tu mensaje, para que ella me dija cuando es buen momento de hablar.

Espero tengas un lindo dia.

Cuidate,

Pense que tu cumple era el 28 de enero, un dia antes del mio, pero recien revisando unos emails antiguos, me he dado cuenta que ya paso tu cumple.

Asi que espero lo hayas pasado super bien.

Tenia toda la idea que tu cumple era un dia antes del mio, pero estaba en un error.

Mil disculpas por el saludo atrasado.

Espero que hayas tendio muchos regalos,.

I speak spanish but I'm learning some english , wich I found cool cause seems to me that sintesises things and ideas that take longer to express in my own lang; and French cause I like the way the french people pronounces it..some German cause I found it very rational and somehow more organized, more ordered somehow...I would also love to learn italian, cause the words seem more complete and all of them have a really nice sound.

Anyway, I was curious about knowing your fav languages, as why you like them?, what you consider the most atractive characteristic of it, well you know, things like that.
Thanks
