yeah, but I did languages in highschool . I think the other courses only had 2 hours of english...
My course:
3h english
4h french
4h dutch
3h spanish
4h Latin
and the rest was filled with stuff like 1h geography, 2h mathematics, etc

3 hours per week isnt much, at my university back in the states when you take a language its 4 hours a week, and in high school we had 50 minutes a day 5 days a week.

Difference was, as opposed to Europe where you have a ton of languages and can actually hear and use the one youre learning on occasion, in the US, you will never use the language outside of the classroom, at least not in the state of NJ, and especially with a language like German.

English is required class here (greece) but our educational system is f[I]u[/I]cked up so everyone takes extra lessons in special private foreign language institutes or hires a teacher at home. I started taking lessons when I was 8 years old and stopped when I was 14 after taking the Cambridge Proficiency Certificate in English. My pronunciation rules too :cool:

good for you :)

Eh even if your pronunciation sucked i would be able to understand you because of my greek grandfather:

1) he had an extremely thick greek accent
2) he had been smoking for at least 60 years, so had a huge cough and it made his voice much more grainy
3) he mumbled when he talked

if you can understand that, then no accent is too thick or too hard to understand!

:lol:

How's my Grrrrrrrrrandsoooon doinggg?

Finntroll are such fun!

So, languages.

I used to be good at French (at the beginning of school, I mean; for a couple of years it was one of my best subjects, let alone my best language), but then I realised that whenever I tried counting in French, around cinq I would switch into German without realising it. So from them on I went with German.

Interesting, eh.

that's really strange.

I just passed spanish 2 which is how far up you are required to go around here. So i really don't plan on moving on with foreign languages, i suck at them.

I just saw an advert for the broadcast of Live8, when they were showing the acts that were performing. Everyone got mentioned, that is, except Pink Floyd. Even KingMoron Bono and U2 got mentioned, but not a single sign that Pink Floyd were reuniting! What. The. Hell...

Also, my favourite skit show just had two of the best skits I've seen in a long time. One was a send up of the amazing race, and they really took the piss out of the Yanks. It was hilarious. They also did a skit set in the wild west, with a cowboy trying to track down a Mexican bandit, called Hernandes Rico Fajiita Burrito Romero Sancho Taco Luis Tortilla Savona. :lol:

The last thing I have to say, I served the coolest customer today. 6'4" at least, long hair, beard, black bandanna, leather jacket and gloves, and some badarse sunnies. I swear the guy was Heavy Metal incarnate. I asked him if he liked Motorhead, and he said, "Awesome band, but I like Judas Priest better, bloke". \m/

Blood clots are dark brown or black. I remember I had to pull five or six out of this cow's heart. [i]Real[/i] tough stuff, also.

Rock 'n' Roll Riva. Anyway, Strum accepted my aplogy, so all is good. This has been my only real ban since i got here. The other 2 were posting in a bumped thread by accident, and that drunken incident :/

Anyway, CoE is the best album ever. I want to make secks to it.

He called you "bloke"?


Morning all.

haha no, its just a way for me to take a few minutes out of working on this confounded paper. Once i finish the paper ill be back into playing video games full swing.

The way i see it, if i log into a video game, thats a few hours worth of comittment right there, but i can just casually check MX for a couple minutes every once in a while, just to take small breaks from writing.

Once i finish this paper i will have written about 100 pages worth of final papers this semester, so no doubt if i just sat down and did that all straight, i would hang myself.
