F: It has just occurred to me that perhaps listening to Korean music while polishing my Korean paper is a fantastic idea, if osmosis works in lateral ways.
L: I have been listening exclusively to "We Didn't Start the Fire" with exactly the same hope for my Cold War exam.

Depressing German vocabulary word/grammatical distinction of the day: ertrinken vs. ertranken, to drown as one dies by drowning vs. to drown as someone kills someone else by drowning.
