I'm a polyglot...I throw foreign phrases into everything I write. I sometimes forget that not everybody knows Albanian or Latin or even Spanish.

Your Albanian is better than mine. I only know a little because my landlord's mom comes to visit and the only English she knows is "Thank you." so her response to anything is "Thank you." so I had to learn enough to be able to convey simple statements like "Kuzhinë është në zjarr." and "Unë nuk jam Akili."
