Ja, helemaal mee eens
Nou, ik heb een vriend van me ook hier heen gekregen, ook Nederlands 
My main language is Dutch,
i can speak English, i'm not the best at grammar tough, that's why i mostly keep it simple..
I can speak some French and German, but i'm not good at it.

Maybe because the Grammar and the vocabulary is so similar to German... for example, your "Waarom" sounds like the German "Warum" which means why... ahh, aren't languages just great?

I'm also taking french classes atm, but I don't really pay attention anyways haha
I used to be quite good at it like 2 years ago.. right now I'm not even able to write down a few simple sentences XD
..because I'm a fucking lazy person =D
Taking latin was kind of pointless, but I had to -__-
Oh and I also know some turkish.. but mostly the bad words hahaha
Ich finds auch immer toll wenn selbst Deutsche ihre eigene Sprache nicht beherrschen hahah zB hör ich schon Sachen wie "Voll der Opfer" oder sowas wie "mah guck doch mit diese Pony.. sieht voll geil aus"
ICH HABS HEUT SELBER GEHÖRT XD
VON NEM DEUTSCHEN
Die Türken reden ja fast alle so, aber das kann ich ja noch ansatzweise tollerieren XDD
Ich würd kein Deutsch lernen wenn ich die Wahl hätte xD

Me too, but I also know other words. xD Some weeks ago, I heard a man shouting "Oğlum hadi gel" (or something like that) and I understood what he was saying ("Son, come fast!"). Where I live there are many Turks, so you WILL learn Turkish, whether you like it or not. Nothing against Turks, but it is a fact.

Actually you have to say "Ich liebe es, wenn Sie Deutsch reden" :P
But that is formal... if you want to say it the informal way it's "Ich liebe es, wenn du Deutsch sprichst"... it's like "Vous" and "Tu" in French, but I think you use "Vous" more often in French than you use "Sie" in German... for example, in the french version of PW, Gumshoe says "Vous" to Phoenix (formal), but in the German version he says "Du" - the informal way.
Somehow I think my English was terrible in this post. xD

Meh, I can understand German for the most part, but I can't make complete sentences or thoughts in it. Mostly because I'm TERRIBLE at grammar. But I like learning it, it's fun... when I actually know what's going on.

Like I said, I can't make up my own sentences or thoughts in German, unfortunately... :[Tacas wrote:
@silentxfilmstar: Well your grammar in this sentence was perfect. ^^ ... if you wanted to say "I have to prepare myself for my new guinea pig".
Hehe thanks, well it's only perfect because I wrote it down after my German professor said it. I couldn't think of that on my own!! XDD I said "I must prepare..." because the sentences she was saying were all random and weird. She was joking around and using something random, like guinea pigs, as an example for different sentences.

Umm, when I took Spanish in high school, I think I remember my teacher saying that it's pretty much the same in both countries, but there are some slight differences in some of the pronunciations and some of the words might be slightly different to describe another word. Or something like that. I could be totally wrong...

I think it's similar, yes. I study Italian and because of that, I can understand a fair bit of Spanish, so I'd imagine that if you learn "Spain" Spanish, you'd also be able to understand Latin American Spansh.
Alright, if it is as different as British English is to American English or German is to "Austria German" then I'll be able to deal with it.

We also have to learn Irish and French in school, I'm crap at them both, but I know more French than Irish, which is weird since I've only been doing French for three years now. I've been doing Irish for about eleven years, but it's such a ridiculous language. Nobody even speaks it any more, but they insist you learn it till you live school. I honestly think it'd be more useful to learn Latin(and I don't want to learn Latin either, btw), but whatever. This whole topic makes me mad.

I've taken courses in French, German and Japanese but I only remember brief nonsense phrases or things which caught my eye. I am being lazy and stopped Japanese at the 'child' level, so I can not even read very well haha.
I guess learning to read music is also like a new language, which I suck at again.

Yeah, but German grammer is more difficult. You have those der and die and das and stuff i don't understand like.. those mich and dich .. i really don't get it.
I get really low marks on German, But mostly i do understand it. But writing is so difficult..

For example, most people say "einzigster" instead of "einziger". It's like English speaking people would say "I'm the onliest one" or something like that.

Uh, "British" and "American" as languages don't exist- we both speak English. There's a variance in accent, occasionally we use different words for the same thing e.g. "bonnet" and "trunk" and there are a few spelling differences, but it's the same language.
and personally, I always think that British rather than American English spellings should be considered the correct one, as we did kind of invent the language. But I'm just a horribly biased Brit XD

I agree with you there. I like "this is my favourite colour" more than "this is my favorite color". Also, the British pronounciation is just great! ^^ I don't really like the American pronounciation... it sounds so mumbled and weird. xD

You can't speak Australian as well? Ha, I can. You could probably manage Irish English too. It's not that hard if you study a lot.
