Tyre is the American version of tire. It really annoys me that the Americans have a different way of spelling certain words.

Do you think German sounds "aggressive" ???
ChrisUren replied to linguaholic's topic in German Language | Discussion
My girlfriends mother is German and shouts/rants in German. It's quite scary when she is really angry! -
Do you think online tutorials are effective?
ChrisUren replied to Judhie's topic in English Language | Discussion
Depends for me, if its someone talking to a camera I quickly lose interest, but if the tutorial is interactive it keeps my attention & makes me want to return to learn more. -
What got you motivated to study that language?
ChrisUren replied to rebel's topic in Language Learning
I went on holiday for 2 weeks to the area, and fell inlove with the way they speak, so when I got home I decided to learn it. My inspiration to learn Latin started at school, It was either German, French or Latin and I chose Latin. I got a good qualification in it ( and once the lesson stopped at school I took it up in my own time. Took me around a year to learn properly. -
Which English words do you have trouble spelling?
ChrisUren replied to a topic in English Language | Discussion
"Because" is a tricky one for me, I always have to use the rhyme "Big Elephants Cant Always Use Small Exits" to remember it. -

I studied Latin while at school to a pretty basic level, now I want to learn some more.

When did you start to learn a second language?
ChrisUren replied to cbintz's topic in Language Learning
I learned Latin while in School, so about 15. I'm still not fluent in it but can use my skills to read Latin quotes. I work quite closely with a tattoo studio in my home town, I get paid £30 a tattoo to double check someones Latin tattoo before they get forever branded. -
Florence. Always makes me think of a "The Hills are alive with the sound of music" type situation in my head.

What English words sounds the funniest for you?
ChrisUren replied to Fabrice's topic in English Vocabulary
Canoodle always makes me giggle, no idea why. -
I am from the Southwest of England, and have the worst accent ever. Seriously it's so awful. I've got a pretty deep voice so thankfully it masks it quite a lot however when I'm with my friends I often hear myself seeing local things and talking in the local accent.

Really good too see such an active forum with everyone on it having a common interest/goal. My name's Chris, I am 22 years old and Fluent in English (Mother Tounge) Dutch & German. I'm currently learning Latin and Chinese Mandarin. Don't think I could have picked a worse 2 to learn! haha. Hopefully make some good friends on this site and help support others, as well as getting support from other people.
