I was supposed to go there for my vacation this summer, but the plans fell through. It would have my first trip out of the country. I was a bit disappointed. I don't know when I will have another opportunity to travel abroad.
Aw, that's sad. I have never been to France and guess it would not be that bad to visit the country afterall. For non-Europeans, I guess it is a great place to go to "experience Europe". However, I personally am much more fascinated and curious about Central- and Eastern Europe than anything else. But, I suppose I should start with travelling my country first. Way too many people go to obscure places like Angola without even visiting their own backyard first.
That's true. There are a lot of places in America that I have never seen. I am interested in the histories of other countries that are very old though.
I remember a primary school teacher who described us languages that way: We sing Italian, We spit English, and We vomit German.
Apparently, even Danish children struggle with their awful language: It seems like it has something to do with Danish's messed up intonation that makes it so difficult for Danish babies to pick up the tones and imitate/decode the sounds. In other words, even domestic babies think their language is ugly.
Well my english teacher told us. English is like a retarded version of german. English lacks the elegance, pointition and accurance of german.
A dog trainer that I know issues dog commands in German. He says German is best suited for communicating authority.
Really, you teacher was an idiot. German isn't poetic, isn't classy, is basically what we evolved from.
Like Brits evolved from Europeans, English evolved from European Languages. French can't say it's evolved because they still have genders and German can't say it evolved because it has no class.
German is like Welsh, a relic that still adds words together to make bigger words instead of breaking words down. Broken German doesn't exist, broken English does.
IDK if German does, because I don't know German. If it does, then that's more of a factoid to me; to add to the list of why English is better IMO: since we're all communicating in a language from England since it can be broken into broken English People mistake English for what it is; let me elaborate; people mistake British English, the one homed and used in England, that country that once sent English speaking people, the language of the homeland, out around the world to teach it so we can speak to each other; worked. To my ears, German is too serious, and there is such a thing as 'too serious', a language the void of telling jokes? -IDK, but, IDK German. English, derived from Olde English, which derived from French and German speaking Normans and Saxons. Druids are unique to the British Isles, but I don't have a clue what they spoke, IDK if they wrote anything down TBH. That's from my country. I think the French wiped them all out? I wonder now, thinking about it, did they speak Gaelic? Today however, English, French & German are each foreign languages to each other. British English and American English and Australian English etc, is the same language, like you can with Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish and Argentinian Spanish etc. Saying English is like German or French is like saying Japanese is like Chinese, and that's not true. I've studied Japanese, and once you've studied one Asian language, you can pretty quickly identify what country is what written language. Chinese and Japanese do indeed share words and numbers. French and German and English also share words. But neither is English like Chinese isn't Japanese. English is English, Japanese is Japanese.
Yes, German has genders too. I had to become completely fluent in German before attending a German university. Like many countries, the dialects differ so much from region to region, a native German from Northern Germany sometimes has great difficulty understanding a native from Southern Germany. Unfortunately, since I've had few opportunities to speak German, it's gotten rusty over the decades. Additionally, all languages change over time & incorporate English words as English is becoming more widely spoken around the world.
English incoperates words too; The word 'Jungle' is an Indian word, there's a lot of Indian words in English; words from all over the world have been added to English too.
