Who wants to learn...

[Stoverus]

Hi, I was thinking about creating a topic and see if you would like to learn a little Icelandic tounge, since I'm from Iceland and I live there I can teach you a few words and sentence, I speak Icelandic but I have to write english here for you to understand me. :) (http://1pantspee.blogspot.com)I'm just gonna' check how many want to learn and I'll teach you something, you can also come with words from english or sentence and I can translate them to Icelandic and teach you ;)Now who wants to learn a new language? ;)

[Nanaki]

Ik ben tevreden met de talen die ik op dit moment kan

you heard the man! :P

[~Felly~]

I honestly have no clue what he said...

[Flamefist95]

is that Icelandic?

[HRBEK]

That's Dutch isn't it? Meh...

Thanks,
HRBEK.

[Flamefist95]

yeah, i translated it and it means - "I am satisfied with the languages which I am possible at this moment"

[Cid Highwind]

You didn't translated it, you let a crappy translator do it. And it turned out quite awful haha

[Flamefist95]

thats what i meant, a translator i found online

[Gou Shi]

If you can ever find a translator that isnt crappy, please tell me.

[Cid Highwind]

Languages are created through many years of culture, knowledge and feeling.
No translator can give you a good translation, except maybe for english, since it is the easiest language around.

[Flamefist95]

i thought english was one of the hardest languages cause it has all of the silent letters and and stuff

[~Felly~]

You mean like... Meh, I don't know any English words with silent letters.

[Flamefist95]

words like "four", "knee". the underline is the silent letter. also with the english language we spell things funny such as "school" along with the suffix "t-i-o-n" is pronounced "shun"

[Invader_gir]

antideistablishmentarism! the ntideistablishmentarism is silent!

[Laguna Loire]

^ ROFL! Very true! :D

[Antownee]

Rofl, if that's right I failed my English test very badly :D

[0NSLAUGHT]

hvaða hjartarskinn þessi meðalvegur?

[Dead Or Alive]

Wow those are some queer letters.

[Gou Shi]

@Dead Or Alive- Shut Up (Unless you mean queer as in strange, then... dont shut up)

And I had heard English was the hardest to learn because so many words have multiple meanings, sounds the same but are spelled differently, etc etc (I dont feel like thinking right now)

[Dead Or Alive]

((I meant strange))

I heard it's the hardest too cause words like... can't think of any now... oh yeah steak and stake they're two different things and they sound the same. And bear and bare etc.

[Cid Highwind]

i thought english was one of the hardest languages cause it has all of the silent letters and and stuff

Take it from me, it's the easiest language there is.

Multiple meanings? You think that's hard? Every language has words that have multiple meanings. Wait until you have to learn Dutch hahaha
English is nothing.

[[N]eto]

Written Chinese would be the hardest.

English isn't the hardest language, just the stupidest.
Latin is pretty tough, too.

i like in my japanese class we had to do some speaking test thingy (which i failed, always did =P) and some kid got one syllable wrong in a word and said 'MY COW IS HURTING!' instead of 'my leg is hurting!'

the teacher laughed at him.. then told us what he said one time when he wasnt there..

speaking of college.. i took my camera there today.. i got photos! i shall post some later (in the pictures thread, obviously)

[Cid Highwind]

haha, poor kid.

It's good to know multiple languages, some feelings or stuff I can only explain in dutch words, while others I can only explain in english or german.

[Dead Or Alive]

Yeah, German is an easy language. It's a lot like English, but not as stupid.

[Cid Highwind]

German isn't that easy, the grammar is way more complicated in comparism to the english grammar.

Guess it helps to be half dutch half german ;)

[Antownee]

Irish is way harder :P It sucks, they shouldn't test us on it. I don't mind learning it, but i'm no good at it.

[Dead Or Alive]

Yeah lol I hate that language even though I'm forced to do it. The rules are so stupid.

[Some1]

Guess it helps to be half dutch half german ;)
I'm 1/2 Welsh and 1/2 Irish, And yet I don't Know any words of the two. Sad isn't it. But you are right, it is easier to learn a language when your Ancestors are From A diffrent country. By the way, I don't know The two because I live In The USA...Yippee...

[Gou Shi]

I do hate how in the U.S. they only start teaching foreign languages in high school, and its only required 2 years (Like that teaches you anything...) So most people just pass it off...

[Invader_gir]

hmm.. im part english (woot) and part french.. think im also part irish too.. somehow (my mum and i both talk with a slight irish accent sometimes randomly throughout the year.. and ive devoloped a random english accent o_O)

..it scares me

[HRBEK]

People always say to me that I have no accent at all... How is that possible, lol?

Thanks,
HRBEK.

I Was born In america in the South. (I'm not a Redneck!) But anyways. I would like to learn some Irish and Welsh. I think it is good to know your ancestors and learn there languages.

[Dead Or Alive]

I would like to learn some Irish and Welsh. I think it is good to know your ancestors and learn there languages.

I wouldn't do Irish. Do Welsh instead :P (sounds easier)

[Nanaki]

Apparently, English is the hardest language to teach, but not as hard to learn as some languages - all tongues have their exceptions and little annoying things :P .
@ Ragdoll: You know, our language isn't actually that hard, the whole problem is that it's never taught properly in primary school. Tbh, I wish the gaelscoil in town was open when I started school.

@DOA: I'm not a violent person, or the kind to flame but ffs, you shouldn't hate your own ****ing language.
I'm aware that isn't violent, but don't provoke me


One thing I hate *about* my language however, is that so many words are Anglicised.
lol, I'd go much futher with this post and stuff I've already said, but CSI is on :P

[Dead Or Alive]

lol that show owns

Why can't I hate my own language? They're only languages, only words. No need to get so worked up about it man. I've looked at Welsh and it looks a lot less harder.

[Some1]

I Have Never seen Welsh in writing but I plan to very soon. Most people think that English is the hardest to learn. But i think if you are good at learning things then it would not be a problem.

[eldiablo]

One thing i hate about my language is the fact that i'm an English speaker, not a Gaelic speaker.

Gaelic = Scots

English = English

Damned English. :mad:

[Dead Or Alive]

Are you being racist against the English lol?

@ Nanaki: There's a gaelscoil in Carrick?

[eldiablo]

Are you being racist against the English lol?
Is being a nationality a race? I was sure it was an identity not a race...

[Some1]

Gaelic = Scots



I Forgot about Gaelic. They say it's easy.

[eldiablo]

I Forgot about Gaelic. They say it's easy.
I dont care if its easy or not. The Scottish eduction system should force the kids to be taught Gaelic, not English, as a primary language and have English as the secondary language (instead of French/German) as we all know that English is the joint most used language (the other is Chinese) in the world.

[Some1]

Spanish is the most used language in the world not chinaese.

[Dead Or Alive]

Really (looks up Wikipedia)

EDIT: Nope, about twice as much people speak Chinese.

[Some1]

Intresting, Never knew that.

[~Felly~]

Yeah, I can speak Spanish a little... Only know a few words though.

Hasta la Vista, baby! ^_^ :P

[Dead Or Alive]

Gracias. That's the only one I know.

[~Felly~]

Heh, I know a lot of the words. Hola (hello), gracias (thank you), hasta la vista (see you later, my friends call it pasta pa pista, don't ask why), adios (good bye), rojo (pronounced roho, and it's red)... And a lot more that I don't wanna list right now.

[Dead Or Alive]

I know loads of German, but I couldn't post it all here.

Hello - Hallo
Goodbye - Auf Wiedersehn
Red - Rott
Yellow - Gelb
Thank You - Danke
Yes - Ja (pronounced yaw)
No - Nein (pronounced nine)
**** - Scheiße (pronounced Shy-sa)

And yes, I had to throw in the last one :P

[eldiablo]

Querfotze (fem. noun) ‡ Literally 'c.unt going sideways' note Only say it if you want to really offend a woman.

And yes, I had to throw in the last one :P ;)

[Some1]

LoL, Good Now I can cuss my teachers out in german! :P

[Dead Or Alive]

Bumsen

Guess what that word is!!!

[Cid Highwind]

OK this is getting a little sad, I take offense as being half german, please stop this, it's making me think this is pitiful :)

[Dead Or Alive]

Cid I didn't mean it that way man, seriously. I think we should make a new topic, this was an introduction topics, wasn't it...?

[eldiablo]

I take offense as being half german, please stop this, it's making me think this is pitiful :)
Fine.. anyone up for Spanish? ;)

Kidding, maybe better for this thread to be "locked", as it's way off topic...

[Nanaki]

I have a feeling that this thread is going to be closed soon, and also, no one has learned any Icelandic as of yet :P
btw if any one is up for a bit of Irish let me know

[Cid Highwind]

Cid I didn't mean it that way man, seriously. I think we should make a new topic, this was an introduction topics, wasn't it...?

I was only joking around, pulling yer strings ;)

[DayleJ]

Chinese = Most used.
English = Most universal.

[Antownee]

I have a feeling that this thread is going to be closed soon, and also, no one has learned any Icelandic as of yet :P
btw if any one is up for a bit of Irish let me know

You do that :P
I'll sit back and take notes, maybe that way I'll do alright in the tests :D

[Dead Or Alive]

I was only joking around, pulling yer strings ;)

I knew that :P

[~Felly~]

Sure you did. :P

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

I do hate how in the U.S. they only start teaching foreign languages in high school, and its only required 2 years (Like that teaches you anything...) So most people just pass it off...

In Elementry School They had a Spanish Club that you could sign up for and learn some basic spanish. I never took it though.

[Cid Highwind]

That's really a big shame actually, a complete waste of so many interesting cultures.

I'm glad I know multiple languages, it's awesome, very handy and fun.

[Nitrous]

You know I get the feeling that the guy who posted this thread will not return. Anyone else agree lol

[Cid Highwind]

His Free Islandic Language Training Trial probably ran out

[Some1]

If anyone could post up a site that has Welsh language. Please do so.

[~Felly~]

I'd have to agree... Yet another member who leaves us...-_- What's new? And if anyone can find a DECENT Japanese translator, please tell me... I can't seem to find one and I'm too d*mn lazy to go to the library and check out a book.

[eldiablo]

Right... your too lazy to get off yer arse yet you are able to sit down for hours looking on the web....

[Invader_gir]

why did you quote me? o_O

[~Felly~]

Right... your too lazy to get off yer arse yet you are able to sit down for hours looking on the web....

Nah, it's just that the library is too far, and they don't ever have the d*mn Japanese books in there because someone always checks it out. -_- It's easier just to use the web because it has no due date. ^_^

[Some1]

Try Singaporese :P
