Haha the language barrier! Love that. Sometimes it’s hard for us non-native Englishmen to understand what people are talking about 😉

Now if @HutchFan actually wrote a book about his favorite albums I’d buy it in a heartbeat. For now his blogs will do

I still thought a book is a book which i read.....

Well about language barrier. Yeah, you said it. 

I can talk easily with musicians as preparing for a gig and even make the announcements in English and mostly learned English by reading liner notes, and later jazz books.  But if it´s about every day´s live I´m lost quickly. It´s all about music that I can exprime in words.......

Anyway, I know three European languages, German, one latin-derived language and one uralic language, so now past 60 it may be harder to be sure in non-jazz English 😉

Loads of admiration here for people who really master three or four languages... For me Dutch as a third language has completely overwritten the little French I had, at least when it comes to speaking, and I also notice how my English, the second language, is constantly messing up the Dutch - a bit like the Romanian that occasionally shines through in your english... And these phrases where words don't have their usual meaning... Die sind schon ein Brett ;)

Fully agreed .... speaking two or more languages (even if only one these 100%) is special ....

I have nothing but admiration for everyone posting in their non-native language. Especially given how accurate so many of you are at it, and even when not the meaning always comes across. Chapeau!

I say that with some shame and regret as someone who can only speak one, luckily it's English.

It's just great to have a common language 🤝 to talk about music ....
