Yeah, I mean I know the basics cos we learn it all the way through school, but I wouldn't say I'm fluent and definately more effort in the way it's taught in school would help.

That's the only way to really learn it properly I think. I wish I knew it better

It's the only way to learn any language as far as I'm concerned - total immersion. Why don't you buy some audio cds or something?

I think they have brought a lot more god, than evil honestly!
I am not American originally, but seriously, the American people, are good people. I would recommend anybody to go and experience it for a while. NOt the regular stereotypical stuff, but go there and live in some average american town for a bit, and you will realise how comfortable they make you feel, for the most part.
I am from Africa, and we are welcoming, but we are very judgemental. IVe been in Europe, and they deffinitely just never make me feel like I am welcome.

Its the only place I have ever gon too, and almost immediately, felt like I could easily be one of the many!
Just my honest testament.

I don't get how America has "given" the world half this stuff, as it usually just stays in America.

So Kraft foods have finally had their takeover bid accepted by Cadbury.

All the time and effort Americans have put in to telling the world that they're not just a bunch of fat greedy fuckers, only to ruin it all by spending Ł11.5 billion on chocolate in one day.
