Zu Information gab es ein Fernsehenprogramm, das "nur Dummköpfe genannt wurde und Pferde", in denen einer der Buchstaben, Onkel Albert, im zweiten Weltkrieg gedient hatte. In einer Episode ist ein junges deutsches Mädchen verloren, also bietet Albert an zu übersetzen, wie er etwas Deutsches während des Krieges erlernte. Er sagt dann in einer lauten Stimme "Vot ist Ihr Name". Der Witz ist wirklich, daß Englisch nicht stört, Fremdsprachen zu erlernen, das ein Mitleid ist. Ich nehme an, der ist, weil Englisch eine gobal Sprache ist, gesprochen über Fluglinien usw., aber wir wirklich im Ausland unwissend sind. Vor mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht, und mein Wortschatz ist klein verbracht, nur, erlernend es an der Schule und zwei Wochen in Deutschland mit einem Federfreund twenty-four Jahren.

I had some help My German isn't up to writing that.I passed a CSE (wots one of those? It was a very very long time ago when mullet hairstyles and white stillettos weren't fashion suicide ( I never had a mullet though, not telling about the shoes) when a CSE was a poor second to a GCE 'O' level)My french is almost non-existant. I have got by in Italian and am swotting up for a weekend in Venice, and the same goes for Spanish, (except the Venice part) which I'll be working on for a holiday in Mexico later this year. I think we (Brits) do take it for granted that other nations will speak our lingo, after all, it is an international language when it comes to business and airlines. This is rather ignorant though and I think we should try better... English is now compulsory in Chinese shcools and kids under 10 are virtually fluent. I like to try and get by, even if I'm not devoting time to learn the languages properly, and going by experiences in Italy, it was appreciated by many of the people I met and I avoided getting ripped off in a resteraunt.The great thing there (Rome) was that although a tourist area not many people spoke anything other than Italian. Mexico may be the same, I'm told the yanks just click their fingers for the waiters so maybe speaking a little will go a long way... even so, I'd like to do more, but have yet to find/make the time to enrole on a course. The standard of languages of European countries generally puts us to shame, someone who can converse in a foreign language on a forum gets my total respect.

Lol very good attitude sjm. even just a little changes some people attitudes of you and if they speak english they will be more willing to speak eng if you look like you have tried their lang first.

i thought for a while what "federfreund" could mean, and when i
realised what you meant i had to laugh a lot! i didn´t meant it in a
bad way! but you translated penfriend word to word. actually it´s
called Brieffreund.
english is very helpful in e very way. i´m learning english since i´m eleven and it helped me in spanish and latin. haven´t got a very good vocab but it´s enough. i admire everyone who is able to speak german if it isn´t their motherlanguage. i´m not quite sure that i would learn many different languages, when my motherlanguage is english. |
