Introduction-Prezantim

They want to learn Albanian: because his grandparents were Albanian and also because  he hangs out with Albanians who have a great time correcting his every word in lack of an interesting topic to converse about
Duan te mesojne shqip: sepse gjysherit e tij ishin shqiptare dhe ai kalon kohen me shqiptare te cilet argetohen duke korrigjuar cdo fjale te tij ne mungese te ndonje teme me interesante per te diskutuar

; because her husband is Albanian and she wants to please him (and his mother!)
sepse burri i saj eshte shqiptar dhe ajo ka deshire t'i beje qejfin (atij dhe mamase se tij)

; because he and his Albanian fiance from Shkodra will do their wedding in Albania, and he wants to be able to communicate when he goes there this summer
sepse ai dhe e fejuara e tij nga Shkodra do ta bejne dasmen ne Shqiperi, dhe ai do te jete ne gjendje te komunikihe kur te shkoje atje kete vere

;
 because she is an academically inclined person and the more exotic the topic the more appealing to her
sepse ajo eshte nje intelektuale dhe sa me ekzotike te jete tema, aq me shume ajo terhiqet

...and so on and so on...These are snippets of what I think I know about their stories!
E keshtu me rradhe...kto jane copeza nga cfare mendoj se di mbi historite e tyre!

I am teaching Albanian: because I am trying to keep my fluids running in these times of economic stagnation where nobody wants to give me a full-time job and engage my awesome writing skills and my unbound imagination (Suckersssssss!!!!!); because I have been eternally inclined towards language, words, writing, communications; because I need money!
Po u mesoj shqipen: sepse po perpiqem te qendroj aktive ne keto kohe stagnacioni ekonomik ku askush s'po tregohet shume i gatshem te me jape nje pune me ore te plota duke perfituar keshtu nga aftesite e mia te shkelqyera te te shkruarit dhe nga imagjinata ime pa kufi ( Qelbesiraaa!!!!); sepse kam qene perjetesisht e orientuar drejt gjuhes, fjaleve, shkrimit, komunikimit; sepse me duhen para!

So, I am taking advantage of his inability to tell them off when they keep bothering him about supposedly mispronounced words;
Keshtu qe po perfitoj nga paaftesia e tij per ti treguar vendin njerezve qe e bezdisin per fjale gjasme te shqiptuara gabim;
 of the eternal human struggle to please the mother-in-law;
nga lufta njerezore e perjetshem per ti bere qejfin vjehrres;
 of his anxiety at going unarmed with a sharp tongue in the Country of the Eagles;
ankthit te tij per te shkuar i paarmatosur me nje gjuhe te mprehte ne Vendin e Shqiponjave;
 of her thirst for intellectual fascination! nga uria e saj intelektuale

I am evil I know!......Wait a minute....Maybe they are taking advantage of my hopelessness in finding a paying full-time job as a recent college grad!Who knows? Sweet dreams are made of this :Somebody wants to use you! Somebody wants to get used by you!
E di jam e keqe!... Nje minute...Mbase jane ata qe perfitojne nga perpjekjet e mia te deshperuara per te gjetur nje pune me ore te plota pas diplomimit! Kush e di? "Sweet dreams are made of this: Somebody wants to use you! Somebody wants to get used by you!
