Joy > I am continually amazed and humbled by how well people in other countries > speak and write English. well I guess it to some extent is out of sheer necessity, we need a second language when we are bored talking only to our neighbours ... I suppose it is an advantage somehow, having a "small" native language - you soon see the need to learn other languages. And English is the foreign language we first learn in school here in Sweden. Many study several languages during their school years. German was traditionally a strong language in the Swedish educational system, French too. After that I suppose Spanish, and more recently languages of interest especially for people with some kind of "business education" would be those useful on growing markets such as Russia and other countries in eastern Burope as well as southeast Asia. Signaturelewe lewemi at yahoo dot se | cats' pics: photos.yahoo.com/lewemi Really, most Americans I know unfortunately have little interest in languages other than their own. My few years of french and spanish are so unused as to have not been at all. I don't think it's like riding a bike! What a shame. I got 100% on the Brit quiz...I read a LOT! So-so on the Aussie and 70%, I think, on the Irish. Ouch!

My daughter studied Spanish, and it actually helped her when she visited Spain, even though she learned Mexican Spanish rather than Castilian. However, most people here don't learn another language.

I am continually humbled by how my German friend Nuele wants to improve her English all the time and also her knowledge of English customs. Today she wrote a mail to me and the title line was "things I think about while peeling my jacket potatoes.." and also wanted to know what having a "Royal Appointment to the Queen" meant. Which prompted a reply post about what jacket potatoes mean and the royal appt too. I felt guilty before that she made all the language effort, so I offered to try and learn German. She said, no, I was too old if I hadn't learnt it at school! which I hadn't, only French. I do know some useful German words (!), hen. hedgehog, exit, keep out, thank you, please, cat, tea, I just love that word Ausfahrt! Tweed > Me too.

It's what is taught in German classes and every single German speaker sounds that way (to the Brit ear), as the 'v' is pronounced how we say 'f' and to the Brit ear, if it there was no 'r' sound, it would come across as 'fatter' 'fatty' and 'gross fatter'. Whcih are just as funny now I mention it ;-) Being part German I am entitled to find fun in German sounds to a Brit ear ;-) Indeed, when I've been in Germany and Austria - it's just how those words sound and every Brit kid hears the same due to the giggles when the words are heard for the first time. I'm *sure* that there are English words that sound just as funny to the german ear.
