I haven't talked to you in a while Ragna, ha anyway, Have you read the book A Clockwork Orange or have you only watched the movie? I need to watch the movie still, My English teacher said it's a must see but it's violent. In fact I might watch it tonight if I have time. You prbably knew this already, but I guess when the book was first released, they took out the last chapter of the book. I read through it and realized the book would have been different without it. It completely changes the theme. It's my favorite book, I literally learned Nadsat from it.
Thanks
Happy birthdayyy!!!!

Yup! Highschool education sucks. I got good grades though so I was happy.
Well Spanish and French are pretty important languages to learn. But the education in the US isn't all that great in general. And by education I mean High Schools of course. And the culture can be important too. Though pronouncing shit is what you should learn in the first years you have French/English, like over here.
Thats sooo F-ing great...one of the reasons whyI want to travel. The US sucks donkey balls. They don't willingly teach languages like that besides spanish and French ( which is what they taught at my high school) I almost wish it was mandatory to learn some other language. The classes however are a joke. They teach basic things that are helpful but not enough to fully understand the language. They make you study vocabulary all the time almost like a game. They spend, most of the time one day on one lesson and and talk about the culture rather than how to properly pronounce the words. Sadly, the US is lagging in the smarts department I think.
I live in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, and we get thaught French from the age of 10-11 until we leave High School. German is thaught in some schools, Spanish in other, and in other schools you can choose I guess. Don't really know. It was German in my school. I had it only for one year, because I didn't study Languages, but Latin & Mathematics. But German is really easy to understand if your native tongue is Dutch. English I learned from The Simpsons and the movies they showed on television, I guess. We have English from the age of 14 till we leave High School too. Latin I studied for 6 years (till the end of High SChool). Spanish is just from reading and seeing stuff. You know. Little things. So Dutch, French and English are basic if you're from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. German/Spanish for some people, but not so much. Latin for people who choose to study Latin, obviously. Though that's not a language you can use to communicate, it helps a lot when trying to learn new languages or even just words.
I'm jealous. How did you learn? were you taught or learned from hearing? for me, mainly learned form hearing. I took a few Spanish classes, and from those, I learned a few important things. I learn best from just being around people who speak it the language.
Dutch: mother tongue. English: reading/writing excellent, speaking excellent. French: reading/writing excellent, speaking excellent. (Though it's been a while.) German: reading good, writing less than ok, speaking ok. Latin: reading/writing good, speaking not good. Spanish: reading a little, writing not, speaking only some basic words.
Thats reeeally cool. Speaking of languages, I really want to learn more. I speak pretty good Spanish and some Filipino( I'm half ). What about you?
