Are You Taking A Foreign Language

Post by XC Sabreur »

Ok, just curious how many people are taking foreign language in school, and what is the most popular. I am, and I am taking german.

For those of you wondering what my name means, here it is. The XC stands for Cross Country, because I run cross country and I run distance in track for my school. And Sabreur because I fence sabre in my spare time. And no, its not a lightsabre.



And if anyone else here fences or runs cross country or track, PM me ! we should talk sometime, I love running and fencing :D

Yes. English, duh.
To feel the wind tearing at my clothes, the elements.

The only truth left in a world of lies and hypocrisy.

The beauty of the abyss.

The anticipation, like anticipating the greatest sex, an existential foreplay.

Looking down into oblivion and voidness.

The ground far, far away as it seems from here, but in reality only a couple of seconds away.

Standing there.

Feeling eternity in a restricted world.

Feeling a decision in a prefabricated existence.

French. It's heard as more complicated, but that's the sexiness of it. It's a beautiful language.

Not taking any language classes. I did learn french for 12 years though, but that's because you're forced to learn because the province is bilingual.



Edit: I want to learn Thai one day. I also want to move to Thailand for one year and learn over there. But that definitely won't be happening for the next 5 years, but after I'm done university, why not.

We haave to talk a forgin langauge to graduate, 2 years of one at that. I'm takeing spanish, and I hate it, I've learned nothing, but german or french wouldn't be any better. They use to offer latin, and I wish I could have taken it because that seems more interesting, but no, my parents want me to take spanish because they expect me to live in this dead beat hole of a border town the rest of my life *dark chuckle* yeah right. lol

in high school i took french and latin
I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

Oui. La langue fran?aise est belle, mon cher. Elle est l'?tude que des marques qu'elle * mwah * se perfectionnent.



(The French language is beautiful, my dear. It's the learning that makes it *mwah* perfect.)

Whoa. My sister's friend that just stayed here goes to a school around here that teaches Japanese. She loves that type of stuff and is obsessed with anime. She's great with the drawings and everything. Huh... that reminded me. : x

I took French for 9 years. And I could just about understand what Shwynsh said. Yes, I obviously worked my ass off for those 9 years... :rolleyes:



I took Spanish for 5. Nothing to show for it though.



And I'm taking Russian now. I know that 3 = tri. 4 = shiterre. But that's all I can remember right now :blink:



And I'm half Japanese so it would be sad if I couldn't speak that decently.
I wish I were a spy.
