If I hadn't seen the evidence I would have thought she was lying. Are the standards THAT low in the UK? When she lived here her Spanish was mediocre, she's only been back in the UK a short time.

Hello,

I wonder if the following sentence I wrote makes sense.
I above all wonder if the use of "neither.....nor" is correct.

Yet, it has been two months since this man has been going to the club but he did not feel neither enough ill at ease to play against an experimented player, nor enough patient to play slowly with a novice.


Thank you for your help !!!

years ago from what i understand the U.S. made every immigrant come through Ellis Island. there they would pass through many tests of language, currency, and what not. why is it not that way today? why should i have to see three different languages on the packageing of toilet paper , and here "for espan~ol, marke' doce."
want to live here?... learn the language... learn the ways. i don't want to change the way our forefathers saw our future. because people are affraid of getting sewed.

Some languages change constantly -- just try reading Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English. Then (in English, for example, thanks to Shakespeare and the King James Bible), other languages have something happen that slows down that change. Which (living) language has been preserved at or near its ancient form for the longest?

" You will always be inside my heart

I hope that I have a place in your heart too "

Okay, I'm sure many of you already know that this is from the 2nd chorus of Utada Hikaru's First Love..I just want to know the japanese translation for these english lines.

Oh, and I was just curious, is there a website that translates english into japanese that gives the romanized translation and not in japanese characters? Okay, you dont have to answer that since I'm only entitled to one question..

Hehehe...thanks to everyone who'll answer..
