People who aren't american (and your thoughts about their co

[Sonoko92]

Well, English, French, Spanish, Italian and German are similar languages because soon everywhere in Europe were the Romans, and they all spoke Latin!

Germany is cool. Love the cars  . My dad's been there before and he said the people were nice and friendly. No idea from any sort of personal experiences what so ever. History's a little hazy in my head but it was one of the most interesting to read about (i.e from what little I have actually read).

I'm not American (though I've lived in good 'ol California for six or seven years). Am an Indian by blood and skin (but certainly not by any other accounts, really). English is a second language to me, but I treat it as my first. My mother tongue is Tamil which I seldom speak in but am fluent at. I also know Hindi to a certain level. Third language is supposedly French (from school) but I do know Japanese better...

XD Anyone know anything about India?

[Sonoko92]

Well, Mahatma Ghandi is from India, isn't he?
And Baku?

I also know that from India are the best romantic movies: Bollywood!

They are so great! I love to watch कल हो ना हो, kal ho nÄ

I'm from Australia, whch has many indigineous languages however the standard language is English as I am sure most of you are aware!

I am studying conversational Japanese atm (in a *very* adhoc manner; I've mastered ordering a beer!), and will be going there for an extended holiday in October

I did learn german at primary school and to this day I think it's a groovy language with many similarities with English

Hi, I'm from Colombia as well

I don't know very much about Columbia, but isn't it near Brasilia and Venezuela?

And aren't there lots of poor people and drug problems?

Almost right.... Columbia is somehere in the US, the correct spelling is Colombia
As for the drugs... it all depends on how big you think it is... I mean, there are a couple of idiots that grow cocaine and then smuggle it to other countries, but they are a great minority....
You can check here some of the many other things from Colombia that you'll probably never see on the news.

This topic is alive?

Well, I'm American-Scottish, does that count? I consider myself more Scottish than American, since this is where I grew up.

[Silverdoe-chan]

Not American! Egyptian, in fact!

[Borealis]

Well, I'm from Austria/Österreich
And Germany is.... well, not that different from us *laughs*

And yes, German and english have many things in common, because they are both germanic languages with latin leanwords

[Stopwatch]

From England, and, yeah, while our language is similar to German, it's also got a quite a few other roots as well as Germanic which mean its grammar and pronunciations are slightly confusing sometimes  (yes, I get confused by my own language from time to time )
