LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE

Hi y'all I'm Bo Lumpkin and I've been thinkin'.

I don't reckon you get too old to try learnin' somethin' new and I'm always tryin' to improve my communication skills. Somebody suggested that I ought to learn a foreign language so I bought me an English Book.

This wasn't my first attempt at a foreign language. I took Latin in high school. As a matter of fact I took two years of Latin. That is if you count taking Latin I twice as two years. I didn't pass the second time either. Before I came along no one had ever failed Latin, twice, a record I think I still hold today in my old alma mater. (That's Latin)

About all I learned was that Latin truly was a dead language. I think that my teacher was possibly in on the assassination. The good part was that I might have been spared a career as a lawyer.

I did learn a few words though. I can say "Britania est equus" I think it means England is a horse.

I hope as I study English it will improve my writin' skills, help to find the answers to some deeply disturbing questions that I've had for a long time or is England really a horse? The most important thing that keeps me awake wondering is, what in the world is a gerund?

I'm Bo Limpkin and I've been thinkin'. Whatchall been thinkin'? Leave me a comment or send me an email to bo@bolumpkin.com.
