Languages - October 2007

took 7 years of german classes total throughout HS and college, and she said when she stayed in Berlin, Germany for 2 weeks, she learned more german than she did in those 7 years of schooling. Do you think this could be similar with other languages? If so, why is this?

In Spanish, we don't translate words like Playstation(jugar de estacion) but do we leave "American Eagle" the same or "Abercrombie and Fitch"?

Because the lack of clear english in this country anymore really drives me nuts!

I got a professional email at work today where the person typed "ne" for any...and I had no idea what he was saying. I called and asked him. Hello?!?

So I am just wondering how many people use these new text messaging type slang words in their every day life?

Because of you

Because of you
my world is now whole,
Because of you
love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.
My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
for I have it all now
and it's all because of you.

Can someone please help me edit this sentence to make it seem clearer....it seems too long also...

Pregúntales si lo han notado diferente o si alguna persona que no sea tú lo ha llamado al trabajo o si él no ha ido a trabajar entre semana cuando él te ha dicho a ti que si estuvo en el trabajo y si él te mintió.

Thanks!!!

I believe in our love
I don't want to be one of those couples who gives up too easily.
I want to be the kind of couple who believes in love, who is willing to support each other, to grow together, to forgive one another.
I really want us to work things out. Because I can't imagine sharing my life with anyone else but you.

(Im a card creator) I just want to see if my translation is accurate) thanks.

I'm Brazilian, and I'm always confused by this, because I see most people I know capitalizing words that we don't, in Portuguese.

Thank you for your answers! :)

Have a wonderful day! :)

In a mad moment, I decided to finance the republication of a children's book. The plot hinges around a French inscription: "La caverne des morts sera ouverte par les Anglais." (The cave of the dead will be opened by the English."

I decided to write a foreword, in which I pointed out whimsically that the cave had now been re-opened by the English, and using my schoolboy French, came up with "La caverne des morts a été ouverte encore par les Anglais."

The (allegedly) bilingual lady next door passed this, but various colleagues are now suggesting that it should be: "La caverne des morts a été ouverte encore une fois par les Anglais."

Could anyone give authoritative guidance?

Read slowly and carefully... The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible ==>( more)
