I prefer british English. Scottish English to be precise. I don`t like the "R" sound in the other forms of English. But if I had to decide between English of England and American English I`d choose American English because it`s articulated more clearly. (from what i`ve experienced) In England I met quite a lot of people that were very hard to understand, in America on the other hand people all over the nation were easy to understand.

Hi, I know this reply is way to late, but I can`t let this false information stay uncommented. Å gjøre noen en bjørnetjeneste In German we say: "Jemandem einen Bärendienst erweisen" Nr. 4 is only known to me as "Elefant im Porzellanladen" .... Maybe what weltschoendenker mentioned is a version that is used locally.

That`s a pretty difficult question... I suggest learning basic vocabulary and sentence structure first. After that make sure to not get lost in the grammar. Quite a lot of Germans can`t even talk proper German. They mix up cases, conjugate verbs incorrectly etc. I am convinced that the best approach is that you start using the language as soon as possible. Search a German to talk to. Watch German TV shows and most importantly: read a lot of books If you have to look up a lot of words when reading is no problem at all. (at least if it doesn`t bother you to much) Trust me, you`ll do a lot of mistakes, but that is ok, Germans that aren`t educated to much do it too. But after some time you will start to learn from your mistakes. After you have reached a level that enables you to talk to others you will beginn to realise that you always do the same errors. And as soon as you are aware of your mistakes you can look up the specific topic of grammar. What is your level in German now? I might give you better advice if I knew that

Hi there I`m a law student from Switzerland. I love learning languages and have always tried to broaden my horizon. My goal is to speak as many languages as I`m interested in learning in order to work as an advocat for as many people as possible. I developed some pretty interesting techniques for learning languages which I`ll share in some other posts. As you may or may not know, Switzerland is the european country with the most foreigners. So the variety of languages here is really overhelming. My native language is Swiss-German. The language I mastered is German, which is pretty easy for Swiss-People compared to others. I`ve almost mastered French, and I`ve been told that my English is quite acceptable too. (both C2) I`m also fluent in Dutch and Danish, because they are very similar to German, especially Swiss-German. I didn`t attend any classes to learn them though. I speak Isaan quite fluently because my grandfather moved to Thailand ~10 Years ago, I can`t read though My japanese is on level 1 of 5, I don`t remember how those Japanese language levels were called. Which means it`s pretty basic... But I`ve got an idea of the language. I`m currently deciding wheter I should learn Brazillian Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian next... Each of those languages has some pros and cons for me. So if someone can give me some arguments why I should rather learn A than B : go ahead (: Italian: pro: official language in my Country, nice sound, I already know some basics con: not very widespread, a lot of dialects that are not necessarily intelligible Spanish: pro: widespread, easy to learn, almost phonetic con: a lot of countries that are not very safe to travel, not an important language in my CH Portuguese: pro: a lot of speakers, also widespread in CH because of immigrants, interests me con: sounds a bit strange, lots of nasal vowels (will I be alright if I speak almost perfect French? Apart from learning languages and studying I play all kinds of guitars and ukuleles as well as different kinds of flutes, whistles etc. I also do Karate and Ju-Jitsu (1. Kyu) Have fun learning (:
