And I invented a country with a 1200-year history that fills more than 30 pages...
I also wrote a national anthem for this country...
My English teacher refused my translation ("ergeben") of "add up to" and suggested "in der Summe ergeben" instead - despite this phrase being fairly understandable German...
I use the bus line number 59 every day...
This "post reply" tab is the forth tab in this Firefox window...

Am I supposed to go on?
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

I guess this phrase will become my most used line...

Please start a Arabic Thread if you want to talk in the Arabic language (or use the PM functio...). As long as you post something on topic everyone can undestand you may add a line in Arabic, but you have to write something in English as well.

I speak english natively, French due to the demands of the Scottish Education System, and Italian because i've been there for tons of holidays. I'm beginning to learn Japanese and Latin, though.

Fluent:
Bavarian
German
English
Russian (not as confident as in the other three)

Good passive knowledge:
French
Spanish
(I can read books or watch a movie, but I have a hard time act holding a conversation unless I'm drunk)
Latin
(I can read inscriptions but would be lost if mysteriously sent back in time)
Czech
(started learning it once and can still decipher written texts because it's so similiar to Russian)

Observations:
At least 6 people in this board don't speak English. Huh? Also, hardly any Italians although it's still broadcast there and more than 60 volumes have been translated into Italian. Weird... There are even more Russians, although only the first 6 volumes have been scanlated afaik.
We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents.
