I enjoy learning new languages - I think its intresting.
And Japanese is bit of a strange one and you dont really get the chance to learn it.

I find it quite difficult - Its more spoken over in the the West of Ireland. The language is slowly fadeing away tho. Its a bit of a shame really.

At my school Japanese, French and Spanish are compulsory until Year 9 because it's a language college, but I wasn't there in Year 9 so I never got round to learning Japanese or Spanish.
I can obviously speak English and can hold a basic conversation in French too.

*blush* English (obviously..) Spanish, French, German, enough Italian to hold a basic conversation, a little bit of Russian and I plan to learn Chinese as soon as I can because our school offers it (I think it's Mandarin Chinese that is taught..) which should be fun!

this is my favourite Spanish phrase :

Es Llama es uno quadrupedo.

Translation: The Llama is a quadroped.

I use this quite often when I'm in Mallorca.

German gets very complicated.

They have many words that are extremely long compared to the English. That's because, with the examples that I can think of, when we create a plural word for a group of objects, we create a new word for them. However, Germans can sometimes shove all the words together and create a huuuge compound word. If this doesn't make sense, I'll e.g.

English: "Science" Includes Physics, Biology, Chemistry.

German: "Naturwissenschaften" Meaning literally: "The study of knowing nature."

English: "The sights" As in, "I'm going to see the sights"

German: Sehenswuerdigkeiten. Meaning "A visit worthy of seeing".

... I now have no idea why I posted this, but never mind! It's taken me a while, so i'm not gonna waste it, lool! :laugh:

I see your black hair? What is your bin called? I love my little rabbir and I ate a croissant :laugh:

I see your black hair ? Sorry but the english traduction of "Je voudrais un cheval noir" is "I would a black horse" and "Je mange un croissant" is in fact, "I eat a croissant"
Don't worry, the french is really hard to learn, the english is really more easy ! lol :spin2:

Oh dear, sorry Sunshine... I think I should stick to English!! :laugh:

... What I said meant absolute no sense, hehe! :hugesmile:

I never did understand though, in a speaking exam, my teacher asked me to say a simple sentence about the weather. I meant to say it was hot, but said "Ecouter et répéter. J'ai chaud." Instead... she burst out into fits of laughter... could you explain why!? :conf:

Captain.Remy
08-10-2006, 03:42 PM
"Ecouter et roter. J'ai chaud", in english it's "Listen and burp. I'm hot."
Nothing about the weather lol

If you want some help for your french exams or homeworks, I'm here, don't forget.
I must say the french language is so difficult.
But don't worry sunshine30 is here !!!

Oui bien sûr – le français est une langue très intéressant; cependant, ce sera un peu difficile de parler le français toujours ici! :hugesmile:


I have a background in several countries abroad, even though I was born and brought up here. Generally I love languages and love travelling, although I wouldn’t want a career in it or anything. I speak either fluently/parts about 6 languages, and I am currently learning two more and hope to learn another one (which is Mandarin Chinese) in the near future. So that makes about 9 lol…so yeah, that is quite a few! Although of those 9, at present I speak about 4 pretty much fluently.
