Why Learning The Language Is ImportantIf you're going to have a job or move somewhere where you need to speak a foreign language, it's best if you do your best to learn it, or bad things will happen... Posted by Jake on 02/19/06 @ 11:29 AM

When I first had to learn English (arrived in the US without speaking a single word), I'd end up giving "yes or no" answers to everything people said, even if it wasn't a yes or no question. Cashier: "Paper or plastic?" Me: "Yes." C: "What do you mean?" M: "Uh... no!" (thinking, if it's not yes, it must be no!) And now in Italy I'm working and of course I can't speak Italian, so it's pretty much like that movie (even worse). ss said on 02/26/06 @ 01:25 AM: Both think and sink are most likely to be pronounced in the same way by the Japanese cuz there is inherently no s - th difference just as in French. Also, r - l are mixed for the same reason. An old politician: How was your last erection? Post a comment |
