if you don't wish to post in english or are disappointed with results then don't post. because this is forum read by english speaking people and if you can't post english then do not post

people don't come on russian forums and post in chinese for example. even if there were some chinese people, when you post it on forums it's public. in private messages it's different

or you don't watch television news in some hungarian there neither

Your guess is clear, but you did not answer the question: can you write the translation or not?:idea:

great :OK:

now in the message he said
`you both are right; take, sit and learn says Fifth. which is kind of annoying. there is something about instinct to it too but that takes very long. and isn't there another option?`

Watching cartoons for children is a way that helped me learn Thai. But really, just using the language every day is the best way.



disclaimer: I am TERRIBLE at learning languages. But the cartoon thing really does help because the language used is simple.

My opinion is this:
1) most games do not require that you understand any language. Playing them are mostly obvious after guessing out thecontrolls.
2) the background-story, and (most of) the interface will sooner or later be translated to english in major sites (or to your own language by fans).
3) as even the giant evil space-amoebas are speaking english, face it: you should speak it too on some basic level.

Eugene, you just need to learn enough to understand the basics of the language. After that, intense use is what gets the job done. Games, forums and so on. You'll learn without realising it.

Yes, but in Indy language skills required.

I agree with twilight - the foreign language isn't so important, if anything, it makes the game more interesting.
