I think grammar is the hardest part in all languages and german grammar isn't that easy as well (but compared to french... well, it's about as hard, I guess). The biggest problem german learners seem to have is that we have three definite articles "der, die, das" as opposed to english ("the") or french ("la, le"). Plus, we also distinguish between male and female (I think in spanish it's the same). In english "the driver" can be both a man or a woman. In german it's either "der Fahrer" if it is a man or "die Fahrerin" if it is a woman.

This leads also to some very strange uses of english leanwords, like for example "manager". The word is just the same in german, it's also "Manager" but some people feel the need to add the female ending "-in" if they talk about a female manager. Sounds and looks ridiculous. :/

I remember that a classmate from High School told me German wasn't hard at all. It's just learning some grammar rules and pronunciations.

Yeah, if you can remember the basics of grammar I guess learning german isn't that hard.

I remembered that my Latin and Greek teacher from High school told me Spanish and German share a lot of similarities. The sentence The Driver, in Spanish may change because the driver may be a man or a woman. If it's a man it would be El conductor but if it's a woman it would be La conductora. Just like in German but with different articles, of course :P
and not to mention the ending -a which stands for a female.

This leads also to some very strange uses of english leanwords, like for example "manager". The word is just the same in german, it's also "Manager" but some people feel the need to add the female ending "-in" if they talk about a female manager. Sounds and looks ridiculous. :/

Ah yes, it's almost the same in every language. Heh, reading that made me come to my mind funny sentences about my native language. I'm going to tell you the funniest ones :P

- Just like in English, and not sure if it's the same in other languages, Hero it's a person that has amazing supernatural abilities to protect people. Heroine is the female for Hero, but it's also the name of a drug :P

- In Geometry and Trigonometry, we have the law of sines. In Spanish it's called Ley de los senos.
The word senos is also a synonym of Boobs :P I remember when I took my first class of trigonometry in Middle school, our teacher told us to not to laugh at the Trigonometric functions. If someone laughed that person would be suspended. When he said the 1st function it was called "Seno", Everybody in my class started to laugh, including me :P I was 13 years old at that time, heh. My teacher couldn't suspend everybody so he had to laugh, too.

Yeah, if you can remember the basics of grammar I guess learning german isn't that hard.

From what you've said, I think learning German would be very interesting. Not to mention that I plan to visit Germany at least 1 time in all my life and I'm really interested in knowing other languages.
Heh, I'm going to search for some grammar rules and vocabulary in Internet :P

Doom on NG is good for a taster but if you want the full version, your best bet is Steam.

Oh I'm not worried about CC. He'll get 20.

We'll see - Texas in next on the schedule and that should mean that he's good to go for the matchup with David Price of the Rays. Playoff matchup? Alternatively, he could go on Sunday against Texas, giving AJ another day off.

Hence the miracle - they were and are expected to lose.

No miracle, the Cubbies just are cursed to lose for eternity. Now the Sox on the other hand, it's just not their year.

When it comes to things like this nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to being utterly disorganised.

I'm still weary about Duke Nukem Forever, even if Gearbox has made games like Borderlands and the Half-Life 1 expansions.

I am as well, but at worst it'll just be a generic FPS, I don't think there's THAT much they can do wrong to make it downright bad.

If it turns out to be a generic FPS, at least they released the goddamn game. That's why if it comes out, I'll be thankful they put the troubles behind at long last. I know I said it before but that's what I think.

I know what you mean, though I will sort of miss the DNF running joke of it never coming out, but I suppose it's about time.

I'm always distracted by subtitles. And even more so when I notice they translated something in a different way then I would've translated it. Even worse: When they leave out some parts of a sentence.

That's a good point, sometimes lines really are poorly translated. It mostly annoys me when they come up with a different translation while the literal or direct translation would have been way better. Why not keep it simple?

I'm not so bothered with sentences that aren't translated because usually I can translate myself.

If I had to go into the army I'd probably be the most unmotivated, lazy soldier they've ever had.

Lol, same here. And that's why I did civilian service instead. ^^

Civilian service? :p

I don't know, but I think they'd better let me finish my study cause I'm sure they could use engineers during wartime. Especially ones that have knowledge of rockets and aircrafts :p

Not sure if I'd want to develop weaponry though, but it probably beats being a soldier in the army.

Exactly. That last line is very impressive.

And I'm sure they've altered the story a little to spice it up. If it wasn't in any record they must've relied on the guys memories and those must've become foggy over the years. But I suppose most of it would be true.

You know, I linked to the article on wikipedia without even reading it and now I noticed it says: "Based on real events". Lol, all these years I was under the impression "Die Brücke" was a fictional story.

Lol. Yep it said based on real events, which makes the fact that it was never in any war records even more amazing. Since about a dozen people died there due to a silly little mistake and nobody cared.

Hmm so I guess it might be a pretty big movie in Germany then?

Yeah, I think everyone in my age (and older of course) knows the movie. Don't know about younger generations, I think it's been some years since the last broadcast.

It looks like a movie that isn't broadcasted often.

Heh true. Although a lot of girls here seem to fall for the charms of Italians, no matter how they look.

Lol, that's the "southern charme" for you.

Yeah, I'm always wondering if Italian girls would like Scandinavians then and if it's just an "other cultures are soooo much more interesting" kind of thing.

Allow me to join this conversation. :)
As a native speaker I can of course not say how hard it is to learn german. But I think it's much easier than learning french because in german it's like that: The way you speak words is the way you write them. A little example in english:
father, false, about, blame, man, any
The 'a' is pronounced in 6 different ways here. In german, 'a' usually is pronounced in only one way (of course there are exceptions here and there). So, in german nearly every word is pronounced the way it is written.
In french, nearly no word is pronounced the way it is written. You have a lot of "silent characters" there (like "etablissment", the "ent" at the end is only pronounced with a nasal "o"), which makes it in my opinion a language that is much harder to learn than german.

I guess that would make the listening and speaking easier, but the grammar might still be way more difficult. I was under the impression that the German grammar was more complicated than the French one, but I've only had to bother with them for 2-3 years or so.

I guess it's 100% useful learning a 2nd language because the place where Holland is located. I have to agree with you on that.

Yeah and the fact that we're like... 99% dependent on our export, it's pretty handy if we all speak English and perhaps some German as well.

Here we have to learn English because we're next to the US. In my city, most companies require people that can speak English or maybe another one such as German. If you ever travel to the north of Mexico (specially cities that are next to the border) or to the country's capital, you'll find a lot of people that speak English as their second language.

People around the borders tend to speak both languages of the countries they're living in/near. I know in the very eastern parts of Holland people can speak German as well.

I think a lot of people have family across the border there so they'll probably have learned both languages early on in their lives.

But it's pretty rare finding someone that speaks another one besides Spanish and English.

I know my gf is taking Spanish courses next to her English studies. She can also speak some French, German and knows some Greek and Latin I believe. Although since she hasn't had to use those languages in years, she's probably not that good with them anymore.

In my field of engineering I'll probably be dealing with a lot of people from outside of Holland, so English is a must for me as well.

Ah, so you're studying engineering. Indeed you will need to speak English, and we both already know that if you knew more languages then you'll get a better position or/and salary wherever you start working on :)

Well I study Aerospace Engineering and most of those companies happen to be giant, international corporations so I don't think I can really get a job there if I don't speak English.

If I were a Civil Engineer for example it might have been less necessary, but indeed I think the better jobs can be obtained at the bigger companies who also work abroad.

It would be sweet if they could do something like that again, with a different song. I wouldn't know a good one though.

Yeah, too bad, but movies like those don't seem to be of any interest right now. I'm still waiting for a rerun of "All Quiet on the Western Front". I know I recorded it on VHS a few years ago, but I can't find it anymore...

Oh, annoying neighbours that play loud music? Oh yeah, we have our share of those in this house. Luckily the most annoying ones are silent now, but a year ago it was really bad. Being waken up at 4 am by loud music isn't really enjoyable. Or lying awake until 3 am because of loud music...
We complained three or four times (other people who live here complained as well), the last time he got really agressive and told my I should quit "bothering him" (hey wait, who's bothering who here?). We then wrote down the times at which he had the music at full volume and complained to the landlord, that worked.
Now it's the family directly above us. They sing and clap to their crappy music and sometimes the bass is really loud. I complained once and they turned the volume down. I could still hear the music, but it wasn't as bad as before.
Luckily they aren't half as bad as those fuckers from the 8th floor I mentioned above and most of the time they turn off the music at around 9 pm.

When it comes to things like this nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to being utterly disorganised.

I had high expectations for them...

I can imagine, maybe I'm just more cynical :P

If it turns out to be a generic FPS, at least they released the goddamn game. That's why if it comes out, I'll be thankful they put the troubles behind at long last. I know I said it before but that's what I think.

I know what you mean, though I will sort of miss the DNF running joke of it never coming out, but I suppose it's about time.

FUCK! I just realised something! I told iscrulz he'd return to the Regulars List once Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

He's most likely wants to go on Monday against the Rays. The Rays are only 2.5 GB and he wants to make a statement after his last lackluster start.

Good point, but we'll see what Joe Girardi says, come game time. Vasquez, Burnett and Moseley will take on the Rangers, thus leaving CC to battle Price, as expected.

So long as the Yanks and Rays have depth, it's not a Sox year :P

Yeah basically.

Well, we can stick a fork in the Red Sox, they're about done.

Discovery has some of the most well known songs from Daft Punk. Give a listen to the songs that I'm listening while writing this :)

Although, I guess you've already heard them. They're very popular.

Dammit, I really need some 3D glasses.

I don't have any idea where to get those glasses. I got two pair of them at Wendy's kids' meal last Saturday because my dad wanted to eat a small burger and fries :P Heh, they were for a Where's Waldo? game in 3D as the featured toy of the meal.

I took Greek and Latin Etymologies classes in High school and I'm quite familiarized with those languages too. I'm going to need Greek a lot because all the diseases names come from Greek. However I won't need Latin since it's used more for careers like Laws and psychology.

Knowing Greek and Latin is handy since you can determinate the meaning of any word if you know their roots, which in most cases are from those languages. I would mind telling to your gf that she shouldn't stop practicing those languages.

I remember seeing them in the forums all the time. Good old days...

And talking about the good old days, I found this old chatroom I made specially for the wi/ht'ers back in 2008.

Shouldn't be a problem for a dragon. Otherwise just bring it in parts.

But it's carrying a whole TV station for miles and miles.

And the statement was a success. Hopefully the same thing happens again this year since we've got The X Factor back once again.

It would be sweet if they could do something like that again, with a different song. I wouldn't know a good one though.

I nominate this song.

He'll never listen. At this point, the only option is to call the police if he's playing it at inappropriate times. Well, there might be some service that deals with bad neighbours so I should come in contact with them.

Lol!

That'd be fun and I'm sure he won't expect that. Better not let him find out it was you though, because I'm sure he would get pretty fucking pissed about it.

He can go to jail if that's the case. :) That's where the fucker needs to be right now.
