Yup, I will be learning the language of love this term...
:)

I registered for a German course, and it should be
interesting... I've always wanted to learn it a bit for some
reason, and now I will... :)

I'm afraid dutch wasn't offered... if it was, I probably
would've done it, just because I've been surrounded by it
for months... :)

I don't know if I have the throught for Dutch... the
language would probably tear my throat to pieces!! ;)

although German is probably a lot similar, I'm not totally
sure... :)

Oh well have fun...phhh lol

German is a more complex language than english....so beware
it takes some getting used to the whole
syntax....der/die/das etc.

Komm schon, bitte. Bitte sag mir doch,
wie heisst die Band, die die Party rockt?
"Deichkind". Toll, woher weisst du das?
Hat dir vielleicht jemand Bescheid gesagt?
"Ja, da drüben der Typ an der Bar".
Kann das vielleicht sein, dass es Philipp war?

I should learn french... it'd be more beneficial to me
because it's an official language of Canada along with
English, but I ain't interested!

The language of love is French, not German. To be honest,
German is one of the ugliest languages I know of. It's so
rock hard and sharp-edged.

No offence of course..

not interested... the only reason I'm doing German is for
interest reasons... it has nothing to do with
practicality...

hmm i cant help but speculate your motives....

a quick question, just to clear matters up...
When you think of Poland, do you want to:
a, ignore it
b, maybe visit it some time
c, invade it

no critisism intended but English/German combo is pretty
unintersting given the similarities. I'd say the best
options today would be chinese,spanish,french. But hey good
luck with your choice.

My girlfriend scares me. She has greek,english,spanish at
fluency levels and is picking up french at an alarming
speed! :)

french sounds pretty complicated...for those that would like
to learn language fast i'd recommend italian!

somehow italian and french seem pretty simmilar, its funny
cos my mom speaks italian perfectly and she doesnt
understand almost nothing in french...on the other hand i
watched a japanese film about a week ago with french
subtitles - and my italian isnt that good and i uderstood
quite well what were they talking about, well the good thing
was it was one of those classice japanese films where they
dont say much hehe

yes I find that I can understand quite easily however when I
comes to expressing myself in Italian I have major
difficulties. I should say 'had' as I gave up with languages
(both spanish and italian) although I intend to learn greek
in the near future.

i'll stick with english and try and improve that for a start

loads of irregularities. Best way to learn french is to be
dumped in a 100% french school at the age of 6.
