This morning on Twitter, Seth Simonds tweeted:
“In 5th grade we learned how to say “my friends are nice” in 10 different languages. If I remembered how, I’d say it now.”
What a great thought! Guessing that there must be some magic teacher worksheet for that, I Googled every possible combination of those terms.
Nothing was found for “my friends are nice” as a list of languages. I did find zillions of blogs, comments, tweets, etc. with people of all ages using the words, “my friends are nice.” – Unexpected, but nice.
Lists that were easy to find were:
“How to Say Thanks in Different Languages“
“How to Say Hello in 10 Different Languages“
“How To Say Goodbye In Different Languages“
“How to Say (and Pronounce) I Love You in 10 Different Languages”
So, “Boo” to “Google Search” and “Hello, Google Translate!” ![]()
Now, you can say “My friends are nice” in 42 languages. Pick your favorite and say it often. (If it doesn’t apply to your friends, look for new ones.
