Me neither. They are said to be either crap or too expensive. I bought myself a used 80s Blaupunkt last year and I'm very content with it.

My copy of Jordpuls arrived just a few days ago. My order got lost initially, so Napalm sent it again... It's good by the way. Gotta have to get my way into it still...

Mr V should use Vocaloid instead of singing himself next time! :lol: I'm so glad the bass is not programmed :worship:

Oh shit, forgot to preorder -.-'

There are some (actually most). As far as I know all the ex-GDR-states — i.e. Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, "Meck-Pomm" and Brandenburg — Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein, Berlin, Bremen, Rhineland-Palatinate. But as I said there's still a fee of like...

Ah, that was its name again! Thanks, I always forget :D Älvdalska is considered a language for its own, not a dialect. And it really is conservative in a lot of ways, e.g. still having case and personal inflection, preserving a sound system closer to Old Norse, etc. It's cool, I like it :D

It depends on the Bundesland. As far as I know, Saxony (where Leipzig is) doesn't have fees while Baden-Württemberg (Freiburg) has. And there is an additional fee of like 200-300€ for the infrastructure, social stuff, bus ticket, etc. But I don't know what it's like for students from outside...

As you have 2 master's degrees, why don't you rather go PhD? Or do you like studying that much? Another prestigious uni in the USA is UCLA (regarding linguistics). In Germany you should check out Leipzig and Freiburg.

As for Italy, you might be right (which is kinda surprising for me, imagining the stereotypical Italian Mamma :D) but Greece has one of the highest obesity rates in the world according to http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity

Greek restaurants are great! I wonder how they manage those portions. You order a salad and it's twice as big as in any other restaurant. Same with all the other dishes. Are they not into the profit or do they just have good sources? :D

Ok, then I probably got you completely wrong. I'm sorry for that! :lol: Sounds interesting! Especially because Swedish is said to be the only language having that sound. But why shouldn't there be more languages with it? The "u"-sound and that Swedish "skj" in fact share some properties...

I was adressing you, because you have already said something similar in another thread some months (or years? stopped counting :lol:) ago. And when I get confronted with something like this it's most often because of fear due loss of any national identity. But, of course, I cannot be sure what...

Well, the idea of one language per country is a really European one. You will hardly find a country outside Europe where there are not at least 3 different languages spoken in. Even in Europe there are several minority languages and different dialects (the borders often overlap). But a lot of...

'Overqualification' is quite common, I think. There can be several reasons: Among others: you are too expensive, you will be bored and thus ineffective, you applied for the wrong job, you are too old, there's a chance for you to look for another job, the boss just doesn't like you but is not...

Some days ago I threw my "Visions" shirt into the rubbish bin because it was a already a black... erm grey shirt with yellow stains :D
