M: Last weekend, the first part of the Kennedy’s was on history Channel
M: Do Americans think that your former prisident Kennedy is a great president?
U: they put him on a coin
M: It seems that they put every former president on a coin.
U: no
U: only a select few
U: washington
U: jefferson
U: lincoln
M: 🙂
U: roosevelt
U: kennedy
U: eisenhower
U: thats 6
U: not many
M: I heard of five.
U: which one did you not know
M: oh, I heard of all them.
M: The last one, I just didn’t know its English name.
U: the link

U: washington
M: 🙂
M: oh, that’s Washington. I have a coin with him.
U: the link

U: jefferson
M: I was wondering who he was with such hair style.
U: the link

U: roosevelt
U: the link

U: lincoln
M: 🙂
U: the link

U: eisenhower
M: 🙂
M: oh, he sort of looks like the NDP leader.
U: the link

U: and kennedy
M: tks 🙂
U: now you know
U: so…it is special if a president is put on a coin
M: I have watched his famous speech in Berlin
U: not many presidents have this honor
M: on Youtube.
U: yeah…he mis-spoke
M: mis-spoke?
U: he said…”i am a jelly doughnut”
M: In that speech, he said, “we are berliner”  or something like that.
M: He said: capitalism has problem, and freedom isn’t perfect, but we don’t need to build a wall to avoid our people to leave us.
U: he said…”Ich bin ein Berliner”
M: ((nod))
U: which means…”I am a jelly doughnut
M: oh, do you mean he spoke wrong?
U: the correct way would be  “Ich bin Berliner”
U: yes…thats what i mean
U: thats what he said
M: oh, i c.
U: he is known more for saying he is a jelly doughnut
U: than for giving a great speech
U: reagan gave a much better speech
M: But I saw a comment saying that he was a language genius, since he just learnt that sentence before his speech and he used it perfectly.
U: he told Gorbachov to “tear down this wall”
M: Yeah, he did.
M: That’s a correct sentence, right?
U: well…kennedy said what he said
U: reagan made no mistakes
M: but the Americans didn’t put Reagan on a coin.
U: this is what Kennedy said he was
*** U sent Berliner.jpg ***

U: photo of a berliner
U: kennedy was assinated…so putting him on coin was to honor him
U: reagan will be a coin sometime in the future maybe
M: 🙂 oh, i c
M: but he got a lot of applause when he said “Ich bin ein Berliner”
U: well…the berliners probably agreed with him and thought he had a good sense of humor
M: 🙂
U: “what did he just say”
M: but if you put “Ich bin ein Berliner” on translate.google.com, the translation is “I’m a berliner”.
U: he said he was a jelly doughnut
U: oh really
U: great
U: thats funny
M: if you put “Ich bin Berliner”, the translation is “I’m Berlin”
U: ha ha h a ha
M: 🙂
U: Ich bin berliner is correct
M: I trust you 😉
M: instead of translate.google.com
U: you can check my accuracy if you wish
M: oh, i c. 🙂
