Mr.Picard 12 Posted August 10, 2003 Aaaaaahmmm.... Where is English :lol: ??? Â But here in Germany you HAVE to learn English at least you had to when I was in school :lol: Â But I voted French because this was the language I took when I had to choose between a second foreign language (first one English :lol: ) and two other boring subjects (one includes technical things and the other one cooking <_< )... Â So French here... But... I don't speak it very well due to some "difficulties" in this language I did not understand (I still don't get them today :lol: )...

Mike 5 Posted August 10, 2003 Spanish and English in High School...I voted Spanish since taking English isn't considered 'taking a language' in the United States... <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted August 10, 2003 Aaaaaahmmm.... Where is English :lol: ??? Sadly, we have this joke that you don't even need to learn English in America. <_< Only it isn't really funny because the reading part of it is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted August 10, 2003 Our school forced us to take Spanish for a year or two in elementary school Middle school-French, learned some Russian(for my trip in 7th grade) High school-German(for three years) Â Â for fun.... I learned to sing in: Latin, Spanish, Swedish, French, Italian, German, Japanese(<---current favorite) Â Visual braile is interesting, and ASL is rather tough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wookieofborg 0 Posted August 11, 2003 ASL for me, yet I hated it.. I am Dyslexic and my teacher didn't seem to understand that one of the problems with it is that your visual understanding is not as fast as the average student.. and when I went for help she did it faster so she could leave..... so I flunked half way through the ASL.. so I only know AS and not the L... <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessa_Soong 0 Posted August 11, 2003 I took Spanish, but i had trouble since at the time i had a MEA applience in the roof of my mouth and could not say the speacial N sound the one with a ~ over it. it was funny when i tried to say it. My teacher rolled her eyes at me and i tried to get her attention to show her why i could not say it, but it was not until after class that he dicided i was not trying to be a smart *buttocks* and pretend that i could not speak properly.

German is wonderful...I loved that class!! My ancestors are German too(amongst other ancestries), cool!!  I agree, knowing a bit of Spanish would help. I do not think they are dirty Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, or anything. But them plopping themselves in the middle of the hallways, pointing at students passing in said hallways and babbling away in Spanish...can get on one's nerves after awhile. At my mom's place of work they do the same thing...block the walkway and babble at warp speeds.. Other people do not do this. I have never seen a group of Italian, French, German or any other language speaking people do this at all...hmmm, oh, well. Ok, Ok, they can actually say the same about us...I mean groups of English speaking people group together, and they might not understand what they are saying, so I guess the groups technically are even.

cyphrx 0 Posted August 27, 2003 All the cool kids took German....which doesn't exactly explain why I took it. On a side note I took korean language classes on the weekends thanks to my ever so benevolent parents (they wanted me to learn about our culture more.) Unfortunetly the school was run by very inexperienced teachers (most were just parents helping out) and not much got done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
