Picspam figures in the glass vitrine (Detolf)

[dieastra]

For niviene and everyone who always wanted to know who is in my Detolf:



Sherlock and John (the empty chair is reserved for Mycroft). Sherlock usually in his famous hands on the nose pose but I changed his hands for a scene:



Stargate & Doctor Who: Jack and Daniel. They used to sit holding hands and arms around each other, but I took the Weeping Angel out recently so the poses got a bit disturbed:



Doctor Who & Torchwood: The Ninth Doctor (walkie-talkie), Ianto (made from Dragon Jamie Classic Adam figure), President Obama (with which I became famous and was interviewed for TV and newspaper when the real one visited Dresden), Jack Harkness (made from a Max Steel figure) and Martha:



Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor and two Tens:





And finally, the Barbie kitchen and Sindy room divider:



Soon I'll need a new shelf for Kirk and Spock.

LOL, yes, it was part of my training, I learned German as a kid by watching nothing but German TV. But, unfortunately, due to a severe lack of practice it's become insanely rusty :P

Schade :P

Well, if you feel like, you can always try the odd word with me ;) Like I tend to drop a Russian word in the middle of a conversation with my friend in Kazakhstan if I feel like it. But sadly it is also only mostly single words or ingrained phrases that are left. I used to be able to write whole essays. It's really true that you need to train it on a regular basis, and now with English being everywhere there is no need for anything else. I still was very proud when I watched one of those Russian lessons on TV and actually understood what they were talking about in a little play scene. So it's not all forgotten - you always understand more than you can speak yourself.

But did you have at least subtitles? Or how would you know what all those German words meant? Just from watching?

No subtitles at all... at first it was just watching pictures but then it got better :D

That is quite impressive!

The fluent English I know now I did learn by reading Stargate fanfictions. At first looking up almost every word (my basic school English was not up for it) but when you look up the same word three times it kinda sticks and soon I was able to read without the dictionary. At my first UK vacation I opened my mouth and started to talk as if I never had done anything else. If only my English teacher could see me now, watching Shakespeare in the theatre in original ;)
