    Except for the bits you choose to ignore.

    And that's your solution, isn't it? Everyone has to conform to what YOU want, what YOU do.

    Quite impressive arrogance. So an indigenous people that precede the invaders with their own language have to conform to the incomers.

    Why not go to Australia? You'll be happy there.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

        No, but choir boys do get to sit on their bishops' laps.

          back on track,

          you lot don't complain about immigration when your house prices are rising

          if you want to influence decisions and policy, forget posting acres of carp on here and better spend your time visiting the local council meetings with a longer term view to getting elected and representing people with the same views as yourselves

          the fact is, the indigenous population have become politically lazy and then wonder why policies are all in favour of others


          there's something for you armchair experts to think about

          Milan.
          oh for christs sake do you write like this is it just to piss people off because you do it all the time if you are trying to make a point then at least learn how to communicate and if you think you can then at least show some respect for yourself and your audience and make some effort or are you just a retarded clown that is more worried about attention than anything else

                It has to be at least one more than Milan.

                  *sigh* Britain was made from four countries and when it was made the default language was decided as English. If Wales devolves and is no longer part of the UK and the people decide that this new devolved country is going to have it's National language as Welsh then anybody emmigrating to Wales should have to learn Welsh.

                  You are the one managing to show impressive arrogance here. I'm quite happy for Wales to break away from the UK if it wants to, the same goes for Scotland and Northern Ireland, but until that happens you are part of the UK and should speak the national language of the UK (and believe it or not a large portion of my family was born and bred in North Wales and speak Welsh)

                    I'd keep that to yourself chap

                      Either through a class or via self taught techniques?

                      This is the method they teach you.

                      Unless you're getting confused with phrase books obviously

                      Yes thanks.

                      German, French and Spanish in a class.
                      Afrikaans self taught because I lived in South Africa for 2 years.

                      Learning the complex language constructs (or even the simple ones) only teaches you how to pass an exam, it doesn't teach you how to converse with people on a day to day level.


                      My 4 year old is currently learning English, she hasn't got a clue about language structure, what a verb or noun is or which tense should be used.

                      However she can say to the man behind the counter in the shop "Milkyway please mister", "Thankyou".
