then again it's been a while sicne my last visit. I can't wait for next year when we enter Schoengen area along with Hungary i believe. So we i can go visit Budapest again this time with my wife. It's a nice city, specially the old part. Quote:
I think mandarin is quite hard because of pronounciation. Our language give foreigners problem because of the "double". all words conjurgate in singular, double and plural. and also pronounciation is quite hard. for example the bumble bee: "ÄŒmrlj" (chmrlj), yup no vocals in there :bleh: but hen again i think russian has some similar wording or at least pronounciation. still i think it's not that hard, but probably not many foreigners are interested in learning it, so it makes it quite rare to find a foreigner with fluent Slovenian.

Fluent Slovene? I've met native Slovene speakers who are anything but fluent. It's not among the easiest languages to get down right (many rules with sille exceptions), but I've met people from abroad who came to Slovenia and were quite capable of talking our language.

So it is true, that people here don't learn foreign languages that much, only the younger generation. But aside the fact that they do speak languages, it doesn't mean they want to either. So, I'm ashamed for all my people because of this. Hungary is not what it used to be, and I'm not the one who can change it either

Yes / oui / ja / si / sÃ* / da
*edits a bit* English is my first language, then French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and various bits of other languages after that. I know how to say 'hello' and my name in quite a few langauges, including Arabic (just because I think it's nice to be polite and say 'hello' in whoever you're talking to's language). |

Among the most exotic languages I've ever heard of, was an artificial language, in the sense it was contructed by this one fellow: It was a "music language" where the pitch, length and all that decided the meaning of the "word". So, basically, what it meant was that you could whistle a conversation... IF the other one had perfect pitch

STFM: Not quite. I mean, literally, a music language where you have no words in the classical sense, but music, like if you whistle.
