Spanish and German aren't nearly as bad as the others.

Rai is right.
Not in Spanish. LL, RR, and N-tilde don't count - they're considered different letters than regular R, regular L, and regular N. I thought about Spanish words I know, and I can't think of a single example of two syllables spelled the same but pronounced differently. |

No, in Spanish it certainly does happen. B, V, C and X all have pronunciations that vary (and with X they're historical; no way to know without hearing the word).

Lol, fatigué. I used to make fun of that in grade 7. :/
Isn't Spanish the easiest language to learn because you pronounce every letter? Je suis malade parce que j'ai un rhume (did I spell that right), mais il y a beaucoup de personnes qui l'ont aussi. C'est octobre!! Je ne peux pas attentre pour l'hallowe'en! Cette année, je veux être une personnage de "Soul Eater" ou "Phoenix Wright"! Je veux manger des bonbons.. I want to take German, but is it already too late to start?! D: Should have signed up for it this year. ;O;? |

It's never too late to start. Unless you mean at your school, in which case, possibly.

Who cares if it doesn't turn out to be useful? If you want to do something, do it.

There have been several studies making a link between active multilingualism and a delay of the offset of Alzheimer's.

That's cool, though, Sturm. I didn't know you knew French.
I know English (duh), French, some Italian and Spanish, and miniscule Chinese and Japanese (words only, characters are confusing. @_@) ~~~ Don't bother fighting back, Ein - you won't win. |

Wow! You do? Sweet! And your French is so good! I'm still learning.
Are you as proficient in the other languages as you are in French? This post has been edited by Neon_the_Chao: Oct 10 2008, 06:54 PM ~~~ Don't bother fighting back, Ein - you won't win. |

French is my weakest language. Well. My weakest language that I've actually studied. I've only been working on it for About a month and a half now. Sort of. I skip a lot of my French classes (like today!) because the teacher is terrible.

It's time for swear words.
How many swear words (or words you don't use in polite speech, at least) do you know in other languages? And I know there are books for almost every language dedicated to this kind of thing, but don't use them. Go off of what you actually know. Russian: -ебать (YEbat'): to make love (probably more approximately translated as "to fuck like animals") -хуй (khuy): dick, cock (often used in the phrase иди на хуй, meaning more or less "go to hell" [I have a jacket with this Russian phrase on it!]) -пизда (pizDA): cunt -французская любовь (frantsusskaya lyubof'): oral sex (noun, literally "French Love" [hence why I remember it; it's so damn funny]) -сиськи (SIS'ki): tits (singular: сиська) That's all I know. :/ ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.
