I’m so glad of the simple way YOU WERE BROUGHT TO ME ....[/quote]

[quote=Larry]are you taking language classes minio? i'm half greek and can understand a moderate amount, not well at speaking it. How quickly can you learn a second language? esp if you have a head start?[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]I still feel much more comfortable when speaking Russian, though. For one, I can say that I can speak Russian a little bit, or that I have a high temperature. I can also say something involving the words "beautiful" and "a girl" which can turn into a nice complement. I know how to swear too.

Oh, and another fun fact: the word "co" in Polish (pronounce as "tso" in English) is actually a swearword in Chinese.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]I'm more into Japanese, though, now that I met [b]resopamenic[/b]. [i]*joke*[/i]. I already know "iku", "sugoi" and "yamete". One could say my learning sources are highly questionable, though.[/quote]

I remember buying that :eek:

[quote=Mr Minio]A fun fact is that people who speak Polish have it relatively easier with Chinese pronunciation, because phonic diacritic signs (or however they are called) except for a meek "z with a dot" sound are the same.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]Actually, my rudimentary knowledge of Chinese - now non-existent - started from tones, and I got them right fairly quickly. The caligraphy must be true hell, but I didn't get to it.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]Yep, I know tones from Chinese. Burmese also has them. Didn't know Thai had them, though. These are easily distinguishable even by a beginner's ear granted the person you're listening to speaks very clearly and fairly slow.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf][quote=Mr Minio]English is such a bitch when it comes to mishearing, and stuff, isn't it? So many homophones etc.[/quote]


Dude. Try Thai.
Mai Mai Mai Mai and Mai are all different words depending on the context of SOUND!
