Poking fun at men in kilts.

I've found that alcohol has the same effect on German. When I was taking German at university I had a devil of a time when sober. But as long as I had a few drinks before class, language lab or exams I scored high marks.

And my Russian pronunciation is excellent after about half a bottle of vodka.

... and it's truly amazing how well one speaks French after a few glasses of a good Cote de Rhone! :rolleyes:

I guess that means I should drink a little tequila before attempting any Spanish?

After one particularly fun bender, I was still quite inebriated when I showed up at my German class in college where our professor made us give an impromptu presentation between 3 to 5 minutes in length on what we did the previous night.

I apparently had her in stitches because I was pulling words I didn't even know I knew out my posterior as I regaled my class through the best presentation I ever gave in a non-English tongue.

And I don't remember a word of it.
