Guest Al Hounos Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I think this thread would have been better served if titled, "People not being white." for better or worse, fair or not fair, english is the lingua franca. If you can' t speak english, yes, you are missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Don't you think they miss out on so much and visa versa? They miss out on as much as anyone who doesn't speak Spanish, Japanese, Franch or any other other language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 people should really know their language to the best of their ability, whether it be english, spanish, or klingon. the more you know of your language, the more you can free your mind and express your thoughts. think of a baby that wants to tell his mother that he is hungry, but he can only cry out of frustration. everyone experiences this frustration to varying degrees all their lives, but the more you know about the language the less you are frustrated with expressing yourself. no comment on the thread title.

chim Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 i think you miss out on a lot if you only speak one language. I find english amazing in it's rich vocabulary and historical development, but there are nuances in other languages that convey vastly different meanings. I use english on such a daily basis with the internet and TV etc that it's a part of me, when I make music I only think in english, when conceptualize about things in thought, I switch randomly between english and swedish.. I would find it difficult to express certain things to myself if I only had either english or swedish to express it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babar Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 French cause they are rude if you don't speak it to them This cliché is typical of rich young american girls returning from Paris. What do they expect ? To be understood when they speak vomit this ultra-fast utlra-nasal american ? I even read a post on a language forum written by some fucking american cunt studying in Paris. she was like "I can't buy amphetamines in drug-stores my life is so damn horrible now, i even have to speak french !". What's the point then in going living abroad if it's not to learn the local language ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
