Rewolf: c'est Homer_
Homer_: oui mon ami
Rewolf: ca va?
Homer_: ca va bien, et toi?
Rewolf: ca va bien aussi
Rewolf: that is my french for today, cant do better then this:P
s1LENT: Je m'appelle silent
s1LENT: j' habite au allemagne
s1LENT: epic, thats all i know after 2 years of french at school :D
Not only those made a conclusion that most of people can't speak foreign language fluently, except english ( even that not always). Who to blame? Education or students? How good you are at 3rd language (2 for UK'lers)? How long have you learned it?

I have learned English,Latin,French,Spanish, and my native languages are German,Polish
Well and tbh the only ones i can speak fluently are German,Polish and English
I do not rly blame the education,although some teachers are really bad. The main problem is that you just forget a lot if u aint used to speak the language every day.
For example i stopped to learn french 3 years ago, and i can hardly remember anything.
Understanding foreign texts isnt that hard though!
My 3rd language is and it is "ok", I can have some small talk with it, get service in stores etc, though my vocabulary isn´t that good because I don´t really use it that much. And I can manage little bit with too, but only to get me started and politely ask to switch on english.
olet homo
my mother tongue is german.
"14[1714:3214:1514] 14[@ovr-Rewolf14]: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~gpierre/french.php"
Besides that, I can talk Dutch and English good/perfect (as far as that goes) and I reckon myself as being decent in German (better in speaking then writing though)
Anyway my english is good. My german is OK. I can speak more japanese then french.
Domo arrigato
italian i'm still quite ok with it though :D (thx to TV)
In 20 years : English + Chinese + native language
120 years : English + Chinese
350 years : Chinese.
english
some dutch
some french
ive had french in school for like 4 years, but well.... my dutch is better, even though ive enver had it in school :D
russian i mean
i learnt french for like 3 years. While my speaking/sentence making skills are low at max i can somewhat understand written text (tho vocabulary is an issue there, my grammar is ok i guess).
And i know 2 dutch sentences!
gonna learn spanish and maybe later something else when i'm going to study though.
english is ok for conersations and stuff
looking forward to learning russian and practicing french again
my german (native language) is quite good i'd say
And education can't be blamed, since it's more important if that language is needed for work or any other future plans (if the person those plans take seriously) ...
Since there are a lot of pidars like dunno around here (generally in whole Baltic States) who can't learn a shit in all his life (atleast not the language wich is used in country where he lives) - I've managed to prove that I'm > he atleast with languages and simply learned it in around one year just by reading in Latvia aviable magazines etc. :)
Expecting to learn Estonian in ~1-2 years also and then to learn Lithuanian.
Hehe idd :D, people of limited intelligence.
My Russian (2 years, about 8-9 years ago) & German (2 years, about 6-7 years ago) are like low+ max :<.
Blame students ofcourse.
also french is my 4th language, LOL MDR FDP MERDE MOWL LOWBOBS
Portuguese, Spanish, English and Maltese
My French (since I was 12) and German (since I was 15) are not perfect , but enough to get a decent conversation with any stranger !
Planning to study Spanish next year aswell :-P
I found out that the only way to learn the language is just to go to that country and speak/listen to people ..
Can't blame the teachers, time is the major problem (you don't get enough language classes at school imho) !
pls don't bother me with that language
In Uni I gonna study Spanish and French/Italy
I haven't had any problems in speaking foreign languages, or at least everyone who I have spoke with have understand me. However sometimes there is of course missunderstandings but It won't disturb me.
I might be weird, but I like to speak in different languages and learn to them :p
I would blame students more since at our age ( 14-19 ) the young are usually more rebellious than they ever will :D and that is why they find it hard to concentrate on school, which afterwards prove to be a blatant mistake not to take school seriously.
me cago en la leche!
hows that?:o
english (learnt it from cartoon network and school also)
spanish from movies (telenovelas lol :D)
italian cuz it's close to my language (same as spanish and french )
so mostly latin languages :)
but mostly they talk russian there
other than that i know english, croatian, bosnian, serbian and i can understand slovenian and macedonian
that's what I can handle, for low- german skills you may blame my dislike.
little french
even less italian
understand a little dutch, cant speak it tho
understand even less swedish, cant speak 2 words
can understand a lot of due my friends
s1LENT: j' habite au allemagne
s1LENT: epic, thats all i know after 2 years of french at school :D"
