Today I went with a friend to pick up Dali, a croatian girl who lives in Zhagreb. I saw her in pink coat and a huge luggage thats good for her 2 week stay here in Netherlands. She seemed so nice and could express herself in English. The moment i saw her, I was told to greet her. English, Dutch and Croatian words start to pop up in my mind.. in search of the Croatian greeting.. then as we met I said "Zdravo Dali". Thank God I remembered and it sound good that it amazed her.
She was talking to her brother in their native tounge and there I was in the midst of clueless..wtf are they talking about..but she was nice though to everything they we're discussing still I was there with no idea at all..The only words I understood was Jedan(one), cetri (four), Dobra (good), ne rezumiem ( I dont understand), nista (nothing). Words juggle up in my head trying to get touch based still with Dutch as the inspectot of the train was asking for the ticket..he asked how many it was..then I blurted out dri (three) and Dank je (thanks).
This is really gotta be a headache. I also learned from Dali that she doesnt like William, Dave's bestfriend. She told me that in English. But then we arrived home..then ate lunch..we'll they're back to speaking Harvatski again. I'm really lost. If I can only escape this moment I would have flown off somewhere who speaks my own language too..they didnt know how hard it is for me to understand things..But I kept cool and just thought its Christmas and its Dave's time to be happy with her sister. I leave it all up to them.. I probably just dont have to make myself worry over things. I'm getting paranoia to things around me.. language is really a tough problem. But I will soon get hang of it.
