I love the sound of Gaelic music sang by women. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,569 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 'Planten en Blomen' Remember reading about the difference between 'Low' and 'High' German when I did German at school. Very interesting it was. Still is Thats the one. Another useless bit of information is, that "platt" is considered as an independent language and to be honest, most Germans from about 150 miles south of where I come from don't understand a word of it. It is useful when one wants to talk with mates and no one else is supposed to know what we are on about. Gets some strange looks though. Another up side to speaking platt is that one can understand Dutch and Afrikaans and read the Dutch papers. ATB Michael I also speak "plat" wich is my local dialect i,m thirthy kilometers from the German border its very similar to your fresian Michael, its called (Drents) North east corner in Holland heres a bit of useless info, most english people wont know that english is a derivative of german. the "old english" and fresian, are very similar languages. saw a program on telly not long ago. were they tought a fella old english in about an hour, its easy for us to lern. they then took him to the area in holland/german border where they speak fresian , and this fella had a fluant conversation with a local of course our own language "english" also has loads of other influences , most legal terms are french. the reason for these influences is the saxons brought the fresian language with them , that then became old english, and the normans brought french, and because they were ruling us , all the words in law are french.

Panna 68 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Hi, I just wonder what can you do with this info. But answering the question I speak hungarian, hebrew, english and a bit of german. And I can smile in japanese. lol Anna what do you mean? where are you from Panna? thats an interesting mix of languages. Hey, I live in Hungary, in Central-Eastern Europe, in a very little country. (If it helps you, I'm from the country of the Magyar Agar, the hungarian slighthound. ;-)) Hungarian is a language that doesn't sound like any other, isn't really related to any other living languages, has some special grammar and there are not many non-hungarians attend to learn hungarian. As one with such a language (which no one speaks over the country borders) I must have some more languages to comunicate with others. I have learnt german in ground school and english I learnt from the songs and movies - based on my german knowledge. Hebrew is just for fun, as I had an opportunity to learn it and I did so. I can both read and write, it's funny. ;-) But I think all those things - who and what languages speak - aren't really an informative subject. Send my best wishes, Anna Edited March 2, 2009 by Panna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scuba1 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 My German girlfriend has lived in Spain for the best part of 25 years and me for about ten. Her daughter has been brought up here and speaks mostly Spanish but my girlfriend has spent a number of years in the States and so some of our conversations at home are a bit of a mixed bag. As we all speak 3 languages and don't mind swapping and switching in the middle of a conversation, it must sound quite strange for someone who is not used to that and when we get visitors we tend to orientate us on whatever language they speak.
