You laugh, you lose.

Something that happened to me some time ago.
 
So, anyone who knows me, knows that I am biologically Iranian. Both my parents are from Iran, and I speak an okay amount of Farsi.  
My sister and I were on the tram, and these three Persian girls, not much older than fifteen each, were talking in Farsi. Loudly. With the pure and utter confidence that noone could understand them. They were talking about anything, the weather, the people in the tram, the people in school, everything and anyone.  
I just smirk at my sister a little, whilst she is torn inbetween caution and entertainment, herself. Once or twice I looked over to one of the girls and smiled politely.  
Finally, when we got up to leave, one of them turns to her friends and said: “That boy keeps checking me out!”, something I, Heaven forbid, wasn’t doing; she wasn’t even that attractive to begin with.
 
So I just slowly lean over and quietly reply in Farsi: “I understand you” and leave without another word, my sister right behind me.  
All I heard after a long, stunned silence, was a loud “OH MY GOOOOOOOOD.”
 
Then, my sister and I proceeded to die laughing.

This. This right here is the reason to be multilingual.

@Too_Offensive  
One of the many, many reasons.

@The_Mungoman  
Just like when I was in Elementary School before the big mass immigration from China. Anyone who spoke Mandarin, who thought they were safe, I understood them. There weren’t too many Asian at my place when I was in primary. Now, they outnumber whites.

@KirbyfanNeox  
I love that.

@The_Mungoman  
What does it say about me that I was disapointed that it didn’t turn out the reason his wife and kids were “out” was because he had already performed the act in the other room?

@DanielTepesKraus  
It says that you are a terrible person with an eye for comedic possibilities.

@The_Mungoman  
I just have a dark sense of humor. To me nothing is sacred in comedy. Now, I’ll hold off on jokes when they’re inappropriate merely for the sake of others, but when the chips are down I’ll laugh at racist, gay, sexist, vulgar, dead baby, you name it jokes.  
Though I think, by definition, that does make me a terrible person. Oh well, I am what I am.

JOO TAKE MAH EMMEROOWDS

@The_Mungoman  
Anyone know an easy way to learn a second language outside if classes? I want to learn Turkish.

@ParagonCommander  
I bet there’s good courses on the internet.

@ParagonCommander  
Outside of actually going to the place and being immersed in it, there’s really no easy way to just learn a second language. I remember picking up enough English to at least speak to other people in about 3 to 4 weeks of moving from Québec to Alberta, but even then I needed to take a few classes to become fluent. I’ve heard good things about Rosetta Stone, though.
 
On topic…
