Question for you Scandinavians. If I were to move there would it even be possible for me to learn your languages through immersing myself in your country or would you all just reply in English when you hear my terrible mispronounciations?


You should never mispronounce a Scandinavian language due to to their being relatively phonetic. There are certain phonemes which one may never master, but generally, once you have drilled the alphabet and gone through a few pronounciation exercises, you should never again wear an accent offensive to indigenous ears.

As for immersion, this is most effective when you have reached the intermediate stage of linguistic acquisition. That is to say: learn Bokmal through to B1 or so at home, then go take a summer language course in Oslo.

I'm considering doing a Scandinavian language if I ever manage to master my present Polish.

So you live in a nation where you don't even speak the native language, you bitch that people won't go out of their way to accommodate you, but they're the hypocrites.


its not that people dont go out of their way to accomodate english speakers, hes complaining about the fact that the French go out of their way to force their language onto everyone because they are afraid of assimilating with the english, even though this is a trend that is occuring naturally, especially in Montreal

likes:

-nice beer
-nice cars
-politicians are not that corrupt
-even though you do not very much for it(schoolwise), you'll get a well-paid job.
-even though german football is not very attractive and they mainly profit of their height/stature, the national team usually gets very far in the tournaments.
-almost everything is a quality product and is certified. anything is foolproofed.
-good healthcare
-people are friendly, even if they don't mean it.

dislikes:

-unfair, stupid school system. if you suck as a 4.grader you'll get sorted out pretty early so you won't have the chance to prove yourself later on. if you suck as a kid, you'll get into less notable school system so you can suck when you're done with school.
-xenophobic people, especially amongst the youth.
-foreigners from a second or third world country have less chances getting a job, thanks to the ridiculously hard job system. i wish it would be more like that in the U.S.
-the weather is bad. the winter is cold and wet, but not snowy-cold, which would be great. tbe summer is great though
-people are overly proud about their culture, which is partially good, if you live in the 17th century.
-government is stupid considered to the old days.
-the language sucks and is even hard for native germans because it's illogical and got alot of rules, which changes every year (or so it feels)
-bureaucracy is worse.
-politicians who do the right thing gets voted out because the 'right thing is unpopular'.
-ridiculously high price and effort for your driver's licence.
-people are friendly, even if they don't mean it.

native language of Canada is english. quebec is part of Canada

every year quebec has a historical battle on the Plains of Abraham. Between the french and the British. Obviously Britain wins, so the government decided that this year we wouldn't have the historical battle... why? Cus the french lose every year...... WTF are u guys fucking serious...

Lol I went to Quebec last week, and I was surprised at how few people knew english. I know that, as an American, I should have at least brushed up on some pidgeon French, but it was still shocking. Nevertheless, I thanked them profusely when they spoke english for me. My ignorance, not theirs.

Anyways.

AMERICA

Like:
-Being a world power
-Having a good standard of living
-Having a large country with many different, distinct places to live

Dislike:
-American ignorance
-Fat people
-Having some people hate you because you are an American (maybe this has something to do with the first dislike...)
Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me.

The Netherlands.

Bad
-Some criminals get out of jail for heavy assault or Rape after 6 months or 2 years.
-The wheather is to rainy and the air to humid.
-The education system is too soft. Elementary school fails to teach children to learn to read and write and basic arithmetic. --->Too many kids dropping out of tradeschools (schools where you learn manual professions in stead of theoretical ones). A lot graduates being ill prepared for the jobmarket.
-government wasting too much money on policies based on fuzzy philosophies. See education system.
-goverment bureaucracies pushing around paperwork.
-high population density, not much space for nature.

Good
-About everything else.

I don't know if this is a good thing about our country, but we have a lot of dialects in here. So we have Filipino as our main language but when you go to the lower parts of our country, you'd encounter a different dialect when you cross the street. Of course that's being sarcastic but we really have a lot of dialects here.

Ahm... just to let you know.

Fish with bones = normal if it's fresh fish.
Meat with bones = normal depending on the meat...

Im sure you don't put bones into a perfectly fine filet, do you?


You eat bugs.

Nah, i was aware of that. I just didn't see any fun in it.

Telling things that are not even nearly true about something is not really my definition of "fun" and is very bad sarcasm... at best.
