Ya know, when Germans come to America, they stop speaking German and
start speaking English... When Hispanics come to America, they do the
exact opposite thing... It is no wonder that I, as the American
English Dictionary, am regarded as a tyrant by Hispanics. It is not
Hispanics who are peasants, the Spanish language is a peasant
language. Well, I guess being a peasant ties in with the religion of
being Hispanic... I guess if Hispanics don't know what a peasant is,
then they do now... ergo, Peasant Christianity... Peasant Christianity
is something of a complement to Calvinism, the way I see it
presently... if not then... add data to get a new and improved initial
assumption... Ya know, I don't know why but if I emigrated to Germany,
I would enjoy learning German but the same doesn't hold true for
Spanish speaking countries... What's funny is that Germans tend to
discourage Americans from learning German when they visit Germany...
or maybe it just applies to American military.

And then they only speak German
when they don't want any English speaking people
to understand what they are saying.
As a result, their grandchildren's German vocabulary
consists entirely of obscenities.

I don't know.
Once upon a time, there were three steaks and four hamburgers
on the table and the dog was alone in the dining room
sitting on the floor next to the table.
One of the children in the next room
caught my attention for a moment
and when I turned back around
there were three steaks and three hamburgers
on the dining room table
and the dog was sitting in the exact same spot on the floor
trying to look innocent.

Yo 'k... The reason why Hispanics refuse to speak English is obviously
because they have imperial design on the countries that they visit...
Germans show a little more class by catering to the suspicion that
they have imperial design on the countries that they visit... So why
do some Germans refuse to teach German to American visitors to
Germany? Well, I guess it is because Germans want to subliminally
portray Americans as having imperial design on Germany... What can be
said of Germany is that military protocol is something that they seem
to know more about than anyone else... while Hispanics and The Spanish
know the least.

If you think German sounds harsh, try listening to Dutch (particularly
the "g" sound). The Dutch people are great, but the language makes
German seem as smooth as French....

It's not so much a peasant language as it is a slave language. The idea
is to keep them from understanding current events, politics, and make
them ignorant of the law.

You find plenty of useful idiots who are "bilingual" who help make this
happen.

English is hard to learn because it is a bastard language that was
created by people who couldn't speak it properly. German is far more
phonetic, and languages like Spanish and Japanese are completely
phonetic. Not English. The letter A, for example, represents five
different sounds! And unlike German, there are no accent marks to
indicate the different sounds.

I don't know WTF you are talking about. I tried to ask two policemen
where my hotel was, in Frankfurt - I had to ask in German to get them
to understand. At Frankfurt airport, I had to order my train tickets
"auf deutsch".

In Holland, the locals must learn English fluently to graduate from
high school. They don't like foreigners to speak Nederlands (Dutch)
because most people can't do it nearly as well as the Dutch can speak
English.

Which languages were "created" by people "who could speak [them]
properly"? You are probably one of the people who insists that the
dictionaries list the "preferred" or "proper" pronunciations of words.

> phonetic, and languages like Spanish and Japanese are completely

Whether a language is "phonetic" or not only really affects the ease
of writing the language, not so much the speaking. (We assume that
most people "learn" languages from books, which has been common for a
very short period of human history.

BTW, before the Norman invasion, the writing system of English was
just as phonetic as German, since the languages were very closely
related.

Do you know WHY written English is not so phonetic?

German has two distinct "a" sounds, neither of which is denoted by
accent marks - long a and short a.

It appears, Higgie, that you are drifting into phonetic
and local nuances and minutia here. Unless you can
show distinctly different "a"- and "ahhh"- words, you
are in the territory like when a Cuban says the "n"
which sounds to the ear pf the Gringo like "ng"... or
like when the Midwesterner say "o" that sounds in
the ear of the Brit like an "a", or visa versa the
"a" being heard as an "o"....

I know you think you made a smart quip, but the Amish also speak English,
thus are not cut off from current events and the law as the Spanish
speakers. The Amish speak their dialect of German to keep "the English"
out.

English is easy to learn if you're not a homosexual... It is
impossible for homosexuals to learn English... The only reason it
might be difficult to learn English is because homosexuals might be
teaching something called English but it is some other language
entirely.
