Languages - July 2007

Speaking of "now language", I've noticed that in the past ten years people have been trying to use other words other than Cool, which is something I've used since 3rd grade when I was about 9, around 1992-1993. I didn't want to use "that's hot" because it just sounds like I'm copying Paris, lol. I mean I have used the term hot before to describe a guy or something but I still use cool, is that passe?

I speak english and was required to take two years of spanish (which I took reluctantly) and can speak a little of that, but I was never really interested. My HS doesn't offer Japanese, and it what I am planning to go to college for, but Id like to get a jump start, so Im not clueless when I get there. How long do you think it'd take for me to learn it, and what do you think I can do to begin learning?

I would like to know how to say, "Yes, my dear" in German. If you can spell it out for me, I know enough of the pronunciation to figure out how to say it. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what would be a good method to learn a foreign language? I've been learning German as a hobby for the past 2 years, but even now I struggle to make up some sentences...

Rossetta Stone...Is that any good?

We all want people who come here to speak English, and we get annoyed when they do not. We get annoyed when considerations are given to them because they do not know English. What about our own people who do not take the time to spell check what is written or to speak in proper sentences? We all are guilty of this, myself included. With text messaging today and the shortcuts people take, how can we criticize someone for not learning English when we do not take the time to speak it properly ourselves. Your thoughts?

i recently found the singer Tarkan who is from Turkey. i love the music, but am unfamiliar with the language. when i try to look it up, i find chains of unfamiliar terms. what i really want is to know what languages it has evolved from, what it is similar to, and some characteristics, like vowel sounds and such. any information would be much appreciated. as much as you know in as simple terms as possible please. even links are helpful. thanks so much.
ps. i speak english and know a bit of latin and french if that would help with associations. if you have a bunch of information, or would just prefer, you can message me. thanks

I can't remember the word for it in French but remember being bemused that it took the feminine la rather than le. I think it was beard it might have been moustache but it was definitley male face hair.

What a strange word. What does it mean? The sentence was something like Er stellt die in Zweierreihen auf.
