Attenzione!
English, and enough Italian ^ to get by, if I was ever to visit. I should know more of that language, since there's like 1/4 Italian in my ancestory, but I've just never learned everything.
Oh, I apologise; I also know English English.

Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

Yes, indeed, and it's a very hard language to learn. My mother had cousins in Finland that she'd correspond with, and she had a English/Finnish dictionary, and it would take her hours to translate the 1-page letters!
Italian and Indian (Native American) was on my father's side, Finnish was on my mother's.

I can't understand that phrase; the only word I know in Finnish is Marsu (guinea pig). I know a lot more Italian words. Off-subject, how did you put the umlaut over the "a" with the computer? I've been trying to figure that for years! :o Yeah, and don't feel "lame" about the German heratige, and if you have a kid-- German efficiency + Japanese innovative ideas & tradition = the kid will most likely be a genius!

I get the umlauts by installing the German language pack from the WinXP disc.  I have a Japanese computer, so I had to install German. You can also install Finnish, Swedish or other language sets and then you can switch between llanguages in the down right corner. You just have to find out where the umlauts are on your keyboard. On my Japanese kleyboard they are on the @,+,* keys. That might be different on us keyboards. Or zou use this page http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html, search the characters zou need and copy-paste. And I still feel lame about being German. Look at the scum who call themselves politicians...

Don´t feel lame about being German..... German's are cool. When people think about the US they can name tons of assholes who made the world a not so good place. Germany only had Hitler and David Hasselhoff.

My real last name (it's not Vania, believe it or not), is supposed to have that umlaut over an A, and my Aunt always complains that I don't use it when I write her!

That was/is an unconfirmed rumour. It was thought that his grandmother had become pregnant whilst working in a Jewish household, which would make him 1/3 Jewish. As he had no idea whom his ideological grandfather was, it cannot be confirmed if he was Jewish or not. Modern research often displaces the belief that he was a Jew. Many believe it was socialist propaganda to undermine his ideology.
