This is for fluent spanish speakers. Do you say it with the v or b sound generlly? I know that the rule is to say the b sound, but how do most people say it? But don't some people also do both?

I would like to learn another language. English is my 'mother' tongue - although my mother's language is Punjabi (an Indian language, which I speak badly with an English accent)! I work in the computer industry as a consultant, when I do travel it is to mostly European countries. Spanish is widely spoken in the world, China (Mandarin?) is up and coming and I've always fancied learning Japanese but have never travelled there!

So, which should I go for? Can you comment on usefullness in business, social situations, potential future popularity, ease of learning or just fun use? Are there any good e-learning sites or societies to join? I live in England, about 25 miles SE of central London.
Thanks in advance for your answers :)

My question is, don't they lose creativity by the loss of coming up with new words? If they did come up with a new word, say, in English, someone came up with "jabberwocky"...they (the Chinese or Japanese) would have to create a new symbol or 'icon' for that word, and most people wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce it or what it means. Doesn't that strike anyone as sort of crass?

Things like whatever the Japanese equivalent of Covey's "7 Habits" would be. Obviously, I'm not asking this for myself, but for a Japanese living here in the USA. I think it would be easier/cheaper to order from an American source, if there is one. If not, how complicated/expensive is it to order from Japanese sources?

I travelled to Asia recently and visited my cousin in Singapore. There i learned a shocking language culture which is termed as Singlish. It's a term for local Singaporean English with the combination of both English and Singaporean slangs. I find that very annoying to hear, and their pronunciation is totally out! I'm truly dissapointed at how English is used by most Singaporeans.

Does anyone know what this means...??
hahah i think it's something bad but i'm not very sure

Kale kantonian euriaren amorruek
Itsutzen naute.
Tren geltokian erlojurik gabe daude.
Gauak ematen ditut esnai,
Denbora noiz gelditu zai,
Heriotza sentituz nonnahi.
Beldurrez...
Iraganak irentsitako denbora
Behatzen artean usteltzen da
Eremuko hondartzen zulo beltzetan
Hautsa bihurtzen.
Iluntasunak bere begien orratzez, erruki gabe,
Ni besarkatzen nau erraiak desegin arte.
Iluntasuna nigana iristean
Izarren hautsa egun batean
Mugaren bestaldean aurkituko naiz.
Izarren hautsa.

Hi kids,

I'm trying to improve my portuguese for an upcoming job. I imagined there must be egroups out there where people help one another learning the language, but I really can't find any. The search feature on yahoogroups is pretty shabby though. Does anyone know of such a forum or egroup? They've gotta exist, there's so many people out there wanting help with languages and wanting to help others. Caso que nao existe vamos criar! :)

What does this mean.....

Nær skóg nær fjöllum
Risti ek blóðrunir
Undir gráum himni
Nær ísilögðum vegi
Til hrýmþakktra fjalla - í luktar ljósi
Milli úlfs og hrafns - milli íss og kaldra vinda
Með óðiins orð í hjarta
Risti ek blóðrúnir
Nær skóg nær fjöllum
