"I would like to 'thank' Sarah, the homely host of 'The Daily English Show' for many happy moments spent watching her educational daily english show.
I like to think that having graduated with a degree in english, that i have a grasp on the english language; however, i am now thoroughly convinced that if push came to shove, and Sarah and I were sharing a martini in a cocktail lounge , i would be struck down with a form of glossolalia which would render any conversation between us useless.
at that point, i would hope that Sarah might take me under her wing and help me relearn my mother tongue.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind Sarah, that if she were ever to find herself in need of 'thanking' in Norwegian, i would almost certainly drop whatever it was that i might be doing on the other side of the world, so that i might 'thank' her properly in Norwegian.
As a southern man, i was raised to be very polite, and my 'thanks' in Norwegian would, i'm sure, be unparralelled in her experience or mine. I am completely at her disposal, and i leave this offer of unconditional 'thankfulness' open and on the table for her and at her discretion, to use as she may see fit; and having said this, should she possibly want no 'thanks' in return, i would not be even slightly offended.
It would simply be a pleasure for me to 'thank' her in Norwegian, as i believe, only knowing her from her videocast, she might deserve to be 'thanked;' and possibly never having been thanked to such a degree in the past, or at least recently, in Japan, i believe that she might 'thank' me twofold for such a sincere and demonstrative 'thanking' which anyone was ever 'thanked'.
