Inexpensive ad knife for BMW.
Can anyone interpret the words on the box?
Are all these different languages saying "With Best Wishes"?

The first is German, second English, third I think is French (?)
Fifth is probably Spanish, next to last maybe Swedish or Norwegian ... ... .....

That's a good looking little knife, Mr. M. The BMW knife I have is just a little keychain knife.

Re: BMW Advertising Knife
I can understand that. I used to work as a parts manager for a Mercedes-Benz/BMW dealership and the parts catalogs we used(this was before microfiche and computers)were in five languages(the new ones are in about 20).After reading them for awhile certain repetitive words were started to be recognized. I am still not fluent in German(or any other language except maybe sarchasm lol)but certain words still look familiar when I see them.DR_MAGOO wrote:Thanks for the info, I have a hard enough time with just plain English.

Ray, they call that the immersion method. Supposed to be the best way to learn a language.
