  1. No, I'm not afraif of that but actually I just could think of rare situations when I could use it. Except of course I travel into a country where the particular language is spoken. But we all know that this way you learn the best.
  2. I like that opinion and I guess that German could be really that language that's the most useful for you to learn. Though I ask myself who someone can forget to travel into a country.
  3. I'm a man so there is nothing like romance existing for me. But when it comes to sexy languages.. well, I don't know. I like the Bavarian and Saxon dialect very much in this way. Swiss and Austrian is also very appealing to my ear.
  4. Well, this kind of arrogance seems to be something that's not just limited to languages for Americans. Let's say their knowledge in geographic is rather disappointing too.
  5. For people that are not used to hear and understand it it might sound aggressive. I just think it's raw and rough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKtj2apUQXE
  6. Thanks, I will check it out. Never heard of it before though.
  7. French. It sounds theatrical to me and is way too soft. You always get the impression they are afraif of speaking words out in a rough way.
  8. Well, I guess the same goes with Eastern Europe or Far Eastern girls if you're a boy.
  9. I just remembered that someone in my family used RS for learning English. It has been some years and the only negative thing that about the programm was the bad layout. But that may have been changed by now.
  10. Well, I guess the internet gives great opportunites to find people with the same interests. In my opinion it's just hard to find some of those who lives nearby but that might depend on where you live.
  11. I know that. Just think of the options menu, you surely learn words like mode, difficulty, sound and such things really fast. Does anyone remembers the booklets of Genesis titles? They had several columns with different languages. I wrote down all the words and learned them like vocabularies.
  12. Well, if you take a look on all the benefits you have with such a programm I am sure it is worth it. Not everything is free or only costs a few bucks.
  13. A ticket. He lives there way up in the sky, no one knows who he is and why.
  14. Do you know some unusual ways to learn a language? And have you even done something like that? Share your stories.
  15. That's really by your brother? I showed this sometimes when I wanted people to get a glimpse of the dialect.
  16. I don't know if that is something that makes learning German much easier but it is definitvely something special about this language. You can build long, long words this way.
  17. What about Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz?
  18. I don't know if the German version is good but I think all those Rosetta Stone programms are great. So I would just try if it works for you.
  19. I guess you could ask that about any language. If everyone knew a certain language everyone would be able to communicate with everyone. That's quite simple.
  20. One can be effective but it depends on how it is designed and on how much will to learn you show. Learning on your own is always harder than in a class or something.
  21. They say German is pretty hard. And I guess every language that has a completely different structure (f.e. Latin alphabet - Asian sign) is hard to get into.
  22. You often see basic words of different languages being similar although the regions where those languages are spoken are far apart. Obviously there always was a lot of cultural exchange.
  23. I myself try to be as good with grammar as I can. I don't care how others do with it as long as I can understand them.
  24. I think my fist words were "Steckt mich wieder rein, es ist kalt hier draussen.".
  25. Most people you meet, no matter where they are from, are able to speak some basic English words and phrases at least so it is really a language that makes you able to be part of the world. Besides that all the important things in Western civilization is written in English. Not only in English but every time.
