Hi Baburra Thank you for this suggestion. Could you please point out the exact thread? I will do a sticky then. Have a nice day! lingua

great quotes. I like the one from Albert Camus! When I was still in school, we had to read some of his books! I really enjoyed reading his works.

You are welcome Takibari What do you think about 'reopening' the poll? We need to give our community some more time to vote for it I guess. It's an interesting question, though!

May I ask you why you think it is great for studying new writing systems? I rather have the impression that for learning scripts, Rosetta Stone doesn't come in very handy. However, I don't have a lot of knowledge about Rosetta Stone, so maybe I'm wrong!

Where did you find that list Trellum? I would like to find out whether they are going to include Chinese or not. :grin:

That's a very interesting question, however it is a very difficult question to answer, as the answer is strongly 'attached' to the place where you are living. If you are living in Asia, for instance, a different exam might be useful (the best) than for people living in Europe. Still, it's interesting to hear everyone's opinion on this! Thank you for bringing this up Takibari.

First of all I would like to say: Welcome to www.linguaholic.com laniñabonita! It's a pleasure having you here! I am on my way to university and I am very busy at the moment, so unfortunately I can't write a reply to this 'question' yet. However, I will definitely reply later on! Have a good day. kind regards Lingua

There are definitely some idioms that are used in various languages/cultures. Moreover, I would claim that there are many "universal metaphors". I am not sure if you consider metaphors to be idioms, though. Metaphors of movement or more specifically metaphors with "up" (up is usually good) and "down" (is usually bad) are quiet common in many different languages. More specifically, you could say that things from above are considered to be good and things from "below" are considered to be bad. There are quite a lot of metaphors portraying this idea of good and bad by making use of this "up/down difference". I will come up with some nice examples eventually:=) In the meantime, if you are interested in these kind of things, you should have a look at the book "Metaphors we live by". You will find plenty of examples in there. This book is like the holy grail when it comes to "Metaphors". It was written be George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.

Oh, what a silly mistake. You are right. Just changed it. Thank you for pointing out that embarrassing mistake :grin:
