Any of you heathens know a foreign language?[views:2941][posts:39]______________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 9:52am - SkinSandwich ""] Where did you learn it if you do? What are the best programs out there? |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 9:57am - arilliusbm ""] SkinSandwich said:Where did you learn it if you do? What are the best programs out there? a.) high school and college b.) Rosetta stone |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:02am - SkinSandwich ""] Cool, I always see the Rosetta stone commercials and wonder if it works as well as they prop it up to be. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:07am - arilliusbm ""] It's way better than any language class I took. At one point I knew a decent amount of Spanish, then I took German and it fucked everything up. Stick wit one language at a time... Especially since you're older and your brain can't retain language as easily. I can only read intermediate Spanish now.. Lost interest and that language sucks. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:08am - ark ""] I don't "know" French but I have enough to get by in very basic conversation, have roots of word and sentence structure. Took 2 years in high school. From English to French is obviously really easy, I have Rosetta Stone and I've been telling myself to do the extended course on it for years. |

| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:31am - Yeti ""] i want to learn Russian. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:31am - Rapers ""] Italian, Latin, Greek, Russian. Italian was my first language, latin and greek in school and russian i was super high with nothing to do for six months and lived next to a library |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:35am - arilliusbm ""] Yeti said:i want to learn Russian. come to "middleberg". The highschool is one of 3-4 highschools in the state that teach it. Or at least that's what the town says |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:40am - the_reverend ""] yeah... there's a great and useful language to learn... thriving economy, no massive social problems, and no 750% AIDS rate. I heard that in russia, they don't even concider that you have AIDS unless you have 3 infections of super-AIDS. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:43am - Yeti ""] you'll be eating those words when the Commies take over and i'm the prepared one. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:47am - SkinSandwich ""] I want to learn German as it is a pissed off language, plus I am hitting up Octoberfest in a few years. A few other languages too as I want to work in hospitals as a translator. Also to piss people off when they do not understand what I am saying. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:47am - arilliusbm ""] remember the posioned spy a couple of years ago? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:48am - Rapers ""] hold on Rev. It sounds like your taking about Aids in a negative light right now. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:54am - ark ""] I think Russian and Chinese are the most valuable languages to learn right now. French isn't bad either, it's the primary language of ~28 countries and essential for business/tech. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 10:57am - the_reverend ""] With super-AIDS out there, regular AIDS is like nothing special. french is worthless. russian is worthless. chinese is worthless to us. What is smart is learning 1) English 2) the language of the masses where you live. So for all of us, learn english and learn portuguese. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 11:25am - Martins ""] I speak Portuguese at home and took 8 years of Spanish. I can comfortably chat up a Spanish man if he doesn't care if I mix up my subjunctive mood sometimes. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 1:20pm - Goatrider ""] I just got the Rosetta Stone pack for Russian. So far it's pretty much just pictures of children playing, which I have to identify with the proper word. Then I'm rewarded with more pics of adorable kids. Looks like the days of Russian for Dummies and girl's gymnastic shows are dead and gone. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 2:56pm - ancient master ""] i can speak Nepali, I learned it in Nepal |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 30,2010 6:12pm - shithead ""] i can speak Russian. learned it while living in Ukraine and having a Russian/Ukrainian girlfriend. Russian is not exactly useful in terms of business or having to speak it here in the US, but it's awesome if you like travelling, particularly in the former-U.S.S.R. neck of the woods (cue crickets). you can use it in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Georgia (to an extent), Azerbaijan (to a small extent).... probably doesn't seem like an appealing part of the world to you guys but i think that whole area is pretty fucking bad-ass. lots of space, basically no tourists, lots of crazy random and brutal history, some of the best girls there are to offer in the world (seriously), and people who are surly at first but will fight to the death for you after knowing you for one evening! |
