For example... Americans call their big brothers "Bubba" etc... Japanese call theirs "Aniki or Onihchamn". I want a list of such terms and if they are gender specific, I want the younger sister to older brother version(s). In Spanish, the word brother is hermano, but a little sister doesn't call her older brother "Hermano". I want the slang-like nicknames that are used by peoples of the world. But I want commonly accepted ones. Not local dialect or one-family specific ones. Any language and the more you give me that can be easily verified, the better chance you have of being chosen for the "Best Answer" winner. I'll accept English versions too, but prefer those of OTHER languages. Being an American..., I might find those of other English-speaking nations to be unknown to me. I will consider all entries/submissions. Thank you.

hi, I am chemical engineer who want to work in Montréal in my professional field, everyone know that Montréal is bilingual, I know French fairly at conversation, poor at writing but I am good at English and also my BS graduation is in English, now I am wonder if for an engineering work in Montréal I can do with my English ability, or obligatory I should use just French, you consider that in French I am not familiar with its professional words of engineering and thus it's hard to me to understand the documents, reports and even making reports in French. would you pleased to lead me how I should plan realistically. sincerely

OK, ignoring how many people speak the language, amd purely based on whether you like saying the words etc...... which language is more fun: French or German? I would say German every time because the words are hilarious (to me) !!! For example, if you would like a chocolate flake in your 99 you ask for "eine Schokoflocke" (although I might have spelt that wrong). I rest my case.

I'm in the healthcare field and want to be able to do basic communication and conversation with people of different nationalities. I have an affinity for languages but often companies charge a phenomenal amount of money to teach you. I am a quick study, fast learner and am self-motivated. I just need a starting place, maybe some on-line programs or websites.
