Languages - July 2006

I know there are different dialects in Germany, Austrians have their way of speaking and so do the Swiss Germans. And I know there are German-speaking communities in other parts of Europe. Can they communicate with each other easily?

I have seen many Indonesian names prefixed with Pt. I assuming it is similar to Mr.=Mister. What does it stand for and mean. So how would you address someone in Indonesia (similar to Mr. X in the west)? Is Pt. only for men? If so. what is the female equivalent?

When I came to N.Y a fiend of mine took me to this night school.
when it was only ten days of classes left due to the vacations time.
And I met this beutiful greek 16 years old girl.
I was 18.

since the first night of classes we met,we like each other very much. but none of us spoke English.
it was very hard to ask her to be my girlfriend.
after they close the school. I try to call her but we coul'n't understand each other.
so we desire to meet again in school time.,but my job didn't let me go back to that school.
some times you could loose beautiful moments because of bein in a country where new immigrants who can't speak English

There's a competition between my brother, my sister and I - if you burp, you have to attempt to say 'beaver lumber'. Because my brother managed to actually do it, we upped the ante by making it a game: if you can say 'beaver lumber' while you burp, you could probably say 'beaver blubber'. However, this word, and 'beaver blunder' are hard to say even without burping. Any ideas why?

I'd choose to speak Spanish. I like the way the language sounds when it rolls off the tongue. :)

I have been studying Kiswahili for over a year now, and I wanted to know if anyone knew of any intermediate-advanced level materials that may be useful. Any textbooks, grammar books, literature books, etc.... would really help.

I met a woman with 'Xiomara' on her name tag. She said that the letter X is used in place of any sound that is not covered by the other letters of the Spanish alphabet. Is that true? What are typical sounds that 'X' is used for?
