Hi,

I saw this episode of "Frasier" during my lunch break today and I thought I'd share it with you:

Hilarious :D Mar 30, 2010

Thanks for sharing! I might show this to my English learners to warn them about the dangers of mistranslation and about the importance of (possessive) pronouns.

I love Lucy Mar 31, 2010

Yes David, when I saw Frasier, it immediatly reminded me of I Love Lucy. A classic!

I like that everyone is positioned in the right order. When I do interpreting missions, I have to fight to be close to the person to interpret for!!
