I was told that one of the very best internationaly recognised German courses was run by the Goethe-Institute.

I have seen their website and the courses look very good. I only have two questions therefore in regards to the courses...

I live a distance away from London and Manchester, is it still possible to study and gain my certificate with them (learning from home so to speak) ??

and secondly --

How much do the courses cost? I found no prices on the website.....

Please help me with this one, thanks.

I just wondered about this reading posts from answerers who are in the States, i think - there are frequently words like 'could' 'would' 'can' when I'm SURE you mean 'couldn't' 'wouldn't' and 'can't' I know it's an accent thing to omit it in speech - is this why you don't even write it any more??
Not meant to be critical in anyway - just curious!

I would love to get an as accurate as possible translation of "Write to make sense of life."

I've asked an old English prof of mine (who just happens to know things like this), and he gave me this:

"Scribere vitam intelligere est. 'To write is to understand life.'
I'm surer of this simple formulation than I would be trying to write an imperative and construct a purpose clause that, as I recall, involves some peculiarity with the verb--a use of the subjunctive or an alteration of tenses."

If by any chance anyone here can add (or subtract) to this definition, (or tell me where I can go to find someone who can!), I'd greatly appreciate it. And my prof was right; what I really want to get across is this: "One must write in order to understand life" -- so I think the purpose clause ("ut") that he mentions is necessary. Don't you??

In Greek, nouns have gender. It is similar to the English words actor and actress. The first is masculine and the second is feminine. Likewise, the Greek word "petros" is masculine; "petra" is feminine. Peter, the man, is appropriately referred to as Petros. But Jesus said that the rock he would build his church on was not the masculine "petros" but the feminine "petra." Let me illustrate by using the words "actor" and "actress": "You are the actor and with this actress I will make my movie." Do see how the gender influences how a sentence is understood? Jesus was not saying that the church will be built upon Peter, but upon something else. What, then, does petra, the feminine noun, refer to?

What do these texts say?
You can either translate directly or summarize it.
Whichever is better for you.

Why is America printing Spanish, along with English, on everything? Is not communication one of the most important things in a relationship? Shouldn't America require everyone who wants to live in our country to know our native language?
Who decided to do this and why is it just now happening with the Spanish language and it didn't happen with all the other immigrants who came to live here? Where do we draw the line? Where does the money come from for this decision to cater to immigrants and give them even less reason to respect our country?
I love diversity and I love to learn about new cultures and traditions so don't take this as a racist thing because it is very very far from that. As much as I love to see all the colors of the world come together, I also love my Christian built county, which also seems to be disappearing with the move of the "In God we trust" now written on the edge of the coin, where it is hardly noticable and also is prone to wear.... sorry thats another story

Got this out of some lyrics. You will have to excuse my ignorance but im not too sure about what language it is; my best guess is Bulgarian.

Prez gorite, prez poliata,
pod zvezdite, nad zhitata,
na samolet, korab i mototsiklet
Shte patuvat prez noshta,
risuvat prez denia i shte spiat do obed

I was in Spanish class today, and I asked myself... Why am I doing this? I simply answered (back to myself) well duh, there are many Spanish immigrants coming in the country. Then about 10 minutes later, I asked myself another question.... Why the hell should I have to learn another language just because of immigration. Personally, I think that English should be mandatory.
