I find uses all the time. I love German culture, and speak German whenever I can.


But there's always a use for a foreign language. I'm going to start picking up Chinese at the beginning of the year. There are 1 billion people in China, and the Chinese markets are just starting to open up...


That's alot of Mao's...and I need my cut!!!
 
a lot of great stuff was written in German by people like Goethe, Heine, Freud, Kant, Hegel, Jung, even Einstein, etc...(literally hundreds of others). very expressive, un-ambiguous language, great for scientific writings.

translations do not compare to the depth of the originals.

i dont know if its "impossible" but i read it was the hardest of the asian languages in the area, and Japanese is the easiest to learn. I was actually looking forward to learn japanese (since my degree requires it), but all the japanese classes were taken ,so i got stuck with "spanish 1" , which sucks balls because i already speak spanish and was looking forward to learn a 3rd

English is ranked as the hardest language to master.

^ Isn't the Chinese language supposed like an impossible language for an outsider to master ?

just a completly different form. you could master it but it isnt like german which has similar phonacies. mau means mum, cat or cow i
think but the differential being how you stress the vowel.


lowzy manderin or cantonese

Chinese can't be that hard. Hell, no harder than learning music, or learning how to do these beats.
 
Did you really get that job Troup or are you just going for an interview?

It would be much easier if it was:

Buy= bay

Write= rayt

But it looks funny thanks to the complicated ass pronounciation.
This is interesting:

  • The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) of the US Department of State has compiled approximate learning expectations for a number of languages.[3] Of the 63 languages analyzed, the five most difficult languages to reach proficiency in speaking and proficiency in reading (for native English speakers who already know other languages), requiring 88 weeks, are: "Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean", with Japanese being the most difficult.

  • In the Defense Language Institute of the US Department of Defense (DLI), Korean is seen as the hardest of the Category IV languages, which are Arabic, Chinese, and Korean. Korean is 75-week course, longer than the other Category IV languages, and they are even trying to make it a Category V course.[4]

I did Japanese in 7th grade and it was easy.
Probably because English isn't my first language.
 
What happened with this one? At least the vacancy is off their site...
 
They hired someone.


They flew me out, I spoke to them for a few hours.


I'm gonna do some freelance sound design work for them, but not the perm position that they were hiring for.
