  1. The answer on this question is yes because whatever you do when you are angry or upset you will make at least an error or two. It does not to have to be speaking or writing. But we will stick to these two. Even in your native language you tend to mix things when affected by anger. Additionally, when you are angry or in high emotional state you can hardly focus or take it easy and slow like you would do when you at peace. That said, it is normal to have some problems in conversing. When it comes to a foreign language that you learn or have to speak situation is usually worse, because another factor is finding its way to your abilities and that is insecurity that is growing bigger when you are upset. Example for this is when you are watching your favourite team playing football. If they score or concede a goal you are probably going to scream something on your mother's tongue and not in that other language you are learning or have to speak. Reason for this is because your brain is set by default to produce thoughts in your language and you barely have to think, it is already there.
  2. A lovely topic. I was in love with a Hungarian girl and i am from Serbia. Although we are neighbouring countries we do not have too much in common. Nevertheless, we met on Malta and it just happened. Strange fact is that i found out they are not very good in English and i think i found a reason for that. Of course it is not good to generalize but i met quite a few Hungarians while working and living on that small island. The thing i found the most intriguing and interesting was the fact they had most of their movies and cartoons were dubbed unlike in my country where we had a lot of original content. Not so much for cartoons but i do not remember watching a movie dubbed in Serbian. It is even a funny thought for me. So, we had some troubles conversing but we found our ways and it was i nice experience while it lasted.
  3. Yes, of course. As a future linguist i would like to learn as many languages i can but on the other hand i do realize i do not have resources to travel that much. I have basic conversational skills in Greek and some other languages but i think that you never stop learning. I say this because language is not just letters and grammar. You have to study one country from every perspective. Culture and food, tradition and modern thinking and influence. All of this have a part in language and it is making changes inside of it. Some countries are not developed as others may be so the language is more open to tradition in one and to technology in the other, respectfully. By the way, travelling is one of the best ways to learn a language and culture in which that language was developing.
