Re: THE QUESTION of the 7th November...
Languages are generally rated in catagories for difficulty. English and Mandrin Chinese are Catagory 5 (the highest.) Russian is Cat4, German is a 3+(usually rated as a 4 now.) English, Russian and German are the Languages I know. IMHO, English has the largest deviation in rules and structure, Russian has the most difficult grammatical conventions and German has the hardest vocabulary (try the official word for speed limit in German...) I don't consider English the hardest, though. Because of the incredably large acceptable rules, you can say nearly anything and be understood  |

Re: THE QUESTION of the 7th November...
People say Gaelic is hard, and I admit the pronunciation is tricky for people who haven't grown up around the sounds, but compared to English and its wonky rules, Gaelic's a breeze!
Oh, and I'm getting my copy of SEIV on FRIDAY!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOO!!!

Re: THE QUESTION of the 7th November...
speed limit is
Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung or sometimes even
Höchstgeschwindikeitsbegrenzug.
Because the word is so long, we don´t have
any Gesch.. erh speed limits!
(Guys, this is not true. Only 40% of our
Autobahnen are left without speed limits).
Greetings

Re: THE QUESTION of the 7th November...
Nice to see such a large international showing here! Maybe after we finish fixing SE IV We can have an International PBEM game!
Joshen the game is worth every single DM or EU that you spent on it.

Re: THE QUESTION of the 7th November...
Hahah, I know what I said with the schnell thing. I know a little german, little bit of russian (how to curse that is), and I know a good deal of french.
IMO, Europeans must know at least 3 Languages! An exchange student from France knows english, french (DUH!) and german!
Us americans only know english (and that is a stretch! Our grammar is terrible!)
