J'ai Fait Une (P)romesse

well i had it the other way round. we had vocabulary tests each week back then, with the effect that i know there are like five words for the german "müllkippe":
waste disposal site
landfill
thrash dump
err.. forgot the others
 
Doesn't seem a very good way to expand your vocabulary :p . I suspect I only learned a fragment of my english in school anyway.

A strange side note is that I got nothing but As for my essays when I was in the states, rarely got that in Denmark (except on the final exam :p ). Obvious to claim that's because Americans are stupid, but I'd like to think it was because focus was on content rather than form (since that would support my point :p ).

Prithy, do not aquire a sense of personal discomfort. Upon chance you may layeth the aforementioned blame on a lacklustre educational infrastructure, hence is borneth this 'peasant-speak'. Hark the Lords children, albeit alien, aside from sourly educated therein it is thus pleasant to observe. Tis not the alien child that thou blamest but the state tutorial system itself. God loveth a trier. Who would make a cuckold of himself ?
Hence doth!

C'est vrai que beacoup des anglophones ne parlent pas des langues etrangers. Mon francais est assez bien, mais pas parfait. (J'ai suivi des cours de francais pendant "high school") ;)

Franchement, je pense que les Français sont encore pires au niveau des langues étrangères. En tout cas, on est surement les pires de toute l'Europe. J'ai plein d'amis qui sont incapables de faire une phrase correcte en Anglais.
 
j'étais à la conférence de presse de rob halford, y a un gars qui lui a demandé 'what are you the influences?' :lol:
