I'm pretty sure that regardless of what country you're from, you should know how to construct a sentence. Sentence structures don't vary much. Start with a capatalized letter, you can use commas, end with a period, etc...

Honestly blimey, if you're going to be anal about his typing, you might as well attack 80% of the other posters here as well.

Sentence structures don't vary much.

You'd be suprised. Althought there is a general theory that all languges are the same, featuring a subject, predicate, object, compliment and adverbial slot, and all that chages is the order in which the appear.

e.g. English "The blue ball is bouncing" - determiner, adjective, noun, verb, adverb.

French "La boule bleue rebondit" - determiner, noun, adjective, adverb (doesn't feature an verb because "reboundit" is inflected and this serves as the verb)

Now that's what we call being anal.

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm bilingual, french and english. Notice how french and english sentences both start with a cap and end with a period. That was my point.

And uhh... La boule bleue rebondit does NOT mean the blue ball is bouncing. LOL.

I do .

man, i like rhcp. i think that they write some cool songs. i have seen a live dvd a few times. it rocks. great musicians, and some cool songwriting.

I agree. I'm really uni lingual, I know a fair bit of German and it all becomes a lot easier once you approach the whole idea of lingustics from a more sientific stand point. Once you understand syntax you can understand practically any langauge, given time.

 

[worldwide_suicide]

i agree with blimey, you can type a perfectly structured sentence without thinking too much about it. i think it's even harder to type waz's way than to do it the correct way.... same for english, spanish and french (the 3 languages i speak)

 

[Kenneth R.]

I speak English, Spanish, and attempt Latin. I would like to learn Japanese, Swedish, German, and Hebrew.

however on an internet forum i do not expect capital letter usage nor do i give a flying duck, and if i can understand the phrase then it makes no difference to me. i'd rather concern myself bashing sentences that, even though they are spelled correctly and use the right punctuation, still sound utterly stupid. if i am going to bash anything at all that is.

idiotic ideas are top of my list, followed by the absurd 'leet' stupidity, follwed by things such as "u" "r" and "gr8". if somebody forgets to use a capital letter or a period or incorrectly uses a comma, i don't give a shit really.

 

[Don Corleone]

we're back on waz's typing eh? just leave him alone. it's his style and i find it enjoyable. it's funny. so let it go

and as for rhcp: fantastic band with a lot of creativity and humor. but yeah i have to agree, latest efforts have been a bit repetitive.

 

[Lietuvis]

It all depends on the person... if one wants to spend the time to write a proper reply to a thread is their own decision.

By the way, I'm trilingual:
Lithuanian is my native language, and also the language that I am the most fluent with.
English is my secondary language, but I have been speaking it and learning it in school for many years now.
German is my third language, and I can read it fairly well now... however, carrying out a detailed conversation can be a bit tricky.

 

[Powers]

Most psychologists believe that the "cut off" point for learning languages is around 13*. After 13 it becomes very difficult or impossible to learn languages. Now I'd love to be more fluent in German but for some reason the government of Great Britian (fully aware of this fact by the way) wait until comprehensive school (13+) to start teaching second languages.

Logic anyone?

*For examples of this search on psychology websites for essays on "feral children", Genie is a good example.

 

[worldwide_suicide]

bullshit! you can learn a language at any age if you put enough time on it and try hard enough.

I've learnt english and french after I turned 13.

 

[paradoxile]

I'm penta lingual...I'm like super smart
this is turning into one big...(as Chris says always)
fil de merde

 

[Powers]

Absaloutly true. However, it's far easier to learn if you learn from the earliest possible age, for example childern who grow up in a multi lingual enviroment are more likely to be multi lingual. Ultimatly it's more about the development of motor functions in speech (because although we take it for granted this is actually very complex) and since we learn to speak a language before we learn to read and write it it makes sense that if we're too old to learn to speak it, reading and writing it becomes far far more difficult. You alongside a miniority are the exception which proves the rule friend.

 

[worldwide_suicide]

Speaking about these things... I have a weird thing for my language (Spanish), I can speak it backwards at the same speed I can speak normally, and I don't even have to think about it, I just can.

Does anyone else have this ability? I've never met anyone before than can do it.

Yeah its easier at younger ages. Much easier.

 

[Powers]

Nope, it seems you simply have a "knack" for languages.

I think the problem was the idea of it being "almost impossible".

But yeah, I believe it depends on the person who is learning, I believe I have the gift of finding languages easy to learn (sometimes), but I have some friends that no matter how much they try and study, they just can't learn a different language. I don't know why, but it happens.
