What do you mean by "visually"? Reading and writing or even something like watching movies (which is good for associate words with situations)?

So. has someone tried this in the meantime and can make some report about it? Would not say that Korean is the language I definitvely have to learn now but it would be an interesting experiment.

a lot of people feel this way. And there are neutral words too! German is a very exact language.

.. when you follow political talk shows because of the rhetorical methods and becauseof the speeches not because of the content.

Linguaholic war schon schneller. Du kannst hier ja noch etwas Deutsch lernen und wir lernen in Deinem Thread Portugiesisch.

What are some common words and phrases to be able to communicate on a basic level?

Ein paar, aber man kann Dich sehr gut verstehen. Welcher Bücher denn?

And there appear new one constantly. Just think about what the internet made of some languages.

Nice find. Just don't know if it is really good for learning every day.

Lol, that sounds exactly like the prejudices we all have from that country. Still one of my favourite places to live.

Naja, hast Du es gelernt oder von einem Übersetzungsprogramm übersetzen lassen? Es klingt wirklich gut.

I guess foreign people often just hear Hitler speaking out of every German who opens his mouth.

.. you're a grammar nazi.

We have that too, it's called Diktat here. But I meant more real special competitions and not just such for kids.

In the US there are these spelling competitions for kids quite a common thing and we all know of school competitions. But is there anything else like that you know of?

We will never know. There are the known languages of today, the unknown languages of today, the known languages that are dead now and the unknown languages that are dead now.

Have never heard of it too. As I am planning to learn another language in the next few months I support the answer.

.. you're a man and you have more language-related books than magazines with nude women in it.

Nicht schlecht, caparica. Wie hast Du das gemacht?

.. you see a movie and have all the dialogues written down before your inner eye.

Yes, somehow. I also noticed that I will have thoughts in English when I've been writing a lot in English language lately. But I can't remember to have learned a language this way. If I don't know a language but had real much to do with it it is more like building parts of sentences.

Well, no. I guess. I just know one word in Portuguese and I don't think I should write it here.

Will. Ability. Act. I can follow the thought that led to your top 3 but without being able to learn no motivation passion uses anything. And in the end you just gotta do something.

The teacher for math and biology. He seemed to be very old-fashioned, hadn't really much humor and was not really popular. Later I found out that he is quite a nice guy though and I have to admit that I learned a lot from him.

Do you know any besides Scrabble that are worth to play?
