Languages - August 2007

i dont want to appear rude or discriminatory because that is not what i am trying to say here. i am just stating my opinion and i do not wish to offend anyone i just want to say how i feel.

it is my own personal belief that if you are an american citizin you should at all times speak english!

i went to DPS to get my permit the other day and there was a girl who was my age with her mom, her aunt i suppose and five other kids. dont ask me why the whole family came but they did. anyways, they were all shouting abnoxiously in spanish.

i just think there is no point of coming to a different country to "start a new life" if you are going to still speak your native language making it difficult for you and others to be of an understanding.

also, i was shocked by this, a house had a flagpole in the yard and on the flag pole they had the mexican flag flying above the american one!!! what is the point of becoming an american if you are not going to respect our country - your new country

Hi all, I am best friends with an argentinean man, and I would love to speak english, because my friend can speak english and spanish. Is there by any chance a free way of learning the language over the internet? If not, what are some of the fastest ways of learning the language. Also, I know a little spanish but I would like to go more into it. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I can't for the life of me remember how to
pronounce "שתים עשרה".

I lived in israel for awhile, so I know it's not pronounced how it looks like it should sound... it's all blurred together. Can anyone help me out?

!תודה

"Do not microwave eggs or they will burst."
Is it "Do not use the microwave for eggs or they will get burst"?

"Please push your facourite button."
(on a coffee machine which you can make espresso or blend coffee)

"we recomment worming your bread for better taste"
(on a toaster machine)

Thanks so much for your help.

The English Language is spoken all over the world and is considered as one of the universal languages of the world. You can speak English in just about any country including in countries such as India, Nigeria, South Africa, and China.

How was the English Language started and where in the world did it originate? Also, how did the English Language become the Universal Language of the World?

Is the Yiddish language really moribund? Or has some been revived somewhere?

How can I find and learn Yiddish and become fluent in a dialect of it? What are some of your favourite Yiddish authors?

I like Cynthia Ozick. I am looking to learn more of the Yiddish theatre and literature of the immigrants in the New World.

I've asked a previous question about symbols:

本性難移

It has been determined that even though this is kind of what i want, this particular saying carries a negative connotation.

Is there a translation for - "It is impossible to change your basic characteristics" in traditional chinese that is 4-5 symbols long?

for example. even though you go through hard times and people are mean/rude - you keep your good heart and courage or bravery and honesty.
