Hi,

Would it be worth to spend 65$(CAN $) to buy the book Egyptian Grammar to study the hieroglyphs and the Egyptian language?


Thanks.

I work at a provincial college in Canada. Of all my colleagues, only two of us are not native English speakers. Today, when I tried to speak Chinese with the other colleague, my program head asked me to his office and told me that I must not speak unofficial languages at work. Does he has to the right to do so?

In Ireland we speak mainly english becuase when they tried and failed to take us over we were made speak english and our irish language speakers declined.

Now in gonna get the rebelilious irish saying "Ohh we dont need it what is the point" I respect what you say but WHY are you lettin Irish people be walked all over having to speak a launguage that isint even ours. Are you afraid. How proud would you feel to speak your own launguage alongside english

Obviously without the english language we would not have the economic prosper we now live in. Each time you say that Irish is not needed or pointless your giving it a bad view for the young irish people who are goin to make it our main language in the next 20-30 years. Don't let it die out and let us be laughed at please im only 16 it shouldn't be up to me to save our language

comments from other nationalities would be helpful

I dont mean just irish I also mean all languages of our immigrants partners

This is part of my French homework and one of the few sentences that has stumped me. I believe "His sons" translates to "Ses fils" and upstairs is "en haut", but I can't figure out the middle.

Is the pronounciation for "TH" same for every words in standard English, means there is only one way to pronounce TH?

So the TH pronounciation for THink, THe, THat, THin, THug, MaTHs should be all the same? Please answer me only if you know the correct answer. Prefer native speakers who have learnt lingustic or something, but if others really know, they can help too. Thank you very much.

I heard when you speak "n" in a word, you always touch the roof of your mouth, such as taNks, weNt, aNswer etc.
But what about "ng", I heard we don't need to touch the roof for it?

So words like runnING, swimmING, chaNGe, raNGe, you don't touch the roof for N? But for the rest, I must. Am I right?

a belgian friend of mine wrote me a note, and at the bottom he wrote some kind of saying in flemish. The handwriting is kinda hard to read, so please forgive the spelling mistakes. He told me what it meant once a few years ago, but i forgot... any help would be much appreciated!

"Khoop dat je toekomst je alles brengt wat je jartje verborngt, want je verdient het!"

again, thanks in advance!
