One time I couldn't think of the word for "liability" in German, but then I couldn't even think of how to describe it or express myself in another way, so I ended up looking exactly like the main character in this comic. I was obviously traumatised by that because I still remember the exact word I was trying to say lolGuestbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275221793447275193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-59466692457280659892016-07-29T10:44:26.135+02:002016-07-29T10:44:26.135+02:00I chose it because it's a word I constantly fo...I chose it because it's a word I constantly forget...Malachi Ray Rempenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827725501736261649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-53069445181767434762016-07-25T09:20:57.663+02:002016-07-25T09:20:57.663+02:00Oh yes.

Especially if you switch between languages several times every day.<br />For example I am watching an anime in japanese, then reading something in english and then I want to talk to someone in german (where I lived all my live) and forget simple words. Once I forgot Fernseher... <br /><br />The trick is to not think about the thing you want to say. Instead think of... eating ice or whatever for a few seconds. Then, when the "moment" is over and a new started, your brain can load the word in process memory again. works 80% LennStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238329353013891803.post-31177851797233699812016-07-24T19:56:33.963+02:002016-07-24T19:56:33.963+02:00Ach, and I knew the German word, or I thought I di...Ach, and I knew the German word, or I thought I did, but then I blanked looking at the comic!
