Darth Sceltor Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I'm glad English was my first language. Everybody says its a ***** to learn later, and I had a hard enough time trying to learn Spanish. No me gusta espanol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 From what i've been told: 1) Yoda uses German grammar. But English is essentially German so the point stands 2) There were several varieties of Latin, and they evolved into the modern Romance languages, with Spanish being the closest to "peasant latin" and Romanian in second. In MY big SF universe (set in our own future), there's only SIX major languages left by 2200. English, German, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese. Languages like Spanish and French are only used on their colonies and RARELY in their home nation on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkshake Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 German may be connected loosely to English, but DO NOT take it up as a subject! Learn from someone who made that mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 German is quite easy. It's not all that far off from English (close enough that I can GUESS what words mean), compared to something like Spanish where you have a different ALPHABET. Spanish is probably harder than German in my opinion. Now CYRILLIC languages are the hardest (excluding everything from Asia with those funky alphabets with 39409435340598 symbols) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
