I am considering buying those CD's with instructions and other methods. I will likely choose to learn Spanish if anything, though I am open to other languages.

Could somebody please translate the following for me (into English, unless you can do this in Polish :-))

Cantate Domino canticum novum,
laus ejus in Ecclesia Sanctorum.
Laetetur Israel in eo, qui fecit eum,
et filii Sion exultent in rege suo.



I know that the beginning is:
Sing to the Lord a new song, but I nedd help in further part...
Thanks.

I need a list of Latino and Hispanic Surnames that I can use to extract Latino's from an Access database. Can't afford to pay mailing house.

I mean this kind of thing:

"It was, like, seven o'clock, so I'm like, do you wanna, like, catch a movie, and he's like, are you kidding, it's, like, raining, didn't you, like, notice or anything, so we're, like, just sitting in this, like, bar, like, doing nothing, you know, like we're zombies or something, then suddenly he's like, I know, you wanna, like, get some, like dinner, like I know this neat, like, Italian place, like just round the corner? etc. etc.

What is "like" supposed to add in all these cases? Does it mean anything at all? And to make it even more bizarre, almost every statement is delivered as though it were a question.

I live in a city where we have lots of young American students or tourists, and they are more than welcome, but this trick of speech really grates on the ear. You can say: "Don't listen to it then", but they usually have very loud voices too so it's, like, you know, like hard to ignore. Where did this all start?

I'm sure this is not how you spell these words, but it is what they "sound like." Just curious. I hear them a lot and I would like to know their meaning. Thanks

I ran into this expression in Germany and no-one would tell me what it meant. They all seemed to think I was making some kind of joke when I asked and avoided answering. The closest thing I got to an answer was 'You tell me, you speak English' which didn't help, at all.

NB: In German there are no silent letters. The K is pronounced so it sounds like Kinoff Hoff

Many people don't think about what they say when they shop.

Yet when you are visiting another country you can't use your native language.

Stop and think about phrases that you couldn't live without.

If you are speaking English as a Second Language, what are phrases that you think are very important.

Please tell me any websites that might some ideas too.

Some examples are:
-- How much is this?
-- Is this for sale?
-- Do you have this in a smaller size?
-- Do you have this in a larger size?
-- Where is the dressing room?
-- Where is the changing room?
-- Where is the bathroom?
-- Do you have a mirror?
-- Where is the mirror?

I now live in England and whenever people greet me and say 'alright', i never know how to respond. What does that mean? Are they asking if I am ok or are they just saying Hi? How do i respond.

On my bilingual English-German web site, where I promote my services as a musician, I have an events section indicating where my gigs are taking place. Since some of those gigs are in Roman Catholic churches (weddings, funerals, memorial services and that sort of thing), I'm a little confused when it comes to translating the parish names. At first I used "Sankt Augustine", "Sankt Elizabeth" and so forth, but when I found out the word "sankt" (minus the capitalization) can also mean "sank" (especially when translated via Babelfish and other online translation utilities), I started substituting "Heilige" for "Sankt" on the advice of my dictionary. However, german.about.com's online glossaries, and my own browsing of German parishes' web sites, seem to insist that "Sankt" can be used, although I'm a little muddled about which of the two words is appropriate for what context. Also, can I sidestep the issue by using the abbreviation "St." whether I'm writing in English or German?
