I agree, I also think that it is a great language. What I like about it is that you can easily express what you wanna say and that so many people on the world are able to understand it.

Exactly.
Whereever I'm, I can reach everyone by speaking english. (theoreticly)

You think? Tell that to the Chinese people:

Good one.

Yeah, german is nice to hear, but very complicated for immigrants.
Please uncover the sentence below by selecting it with your mouse - But only if you can handle very very dark humour!!! I've warned you!!!
Just imagine if we had won the war... But now I know why the allies fought so hard.

If we’re going to use the British language in this particular thread, we also should use the British humour, don’t you agree?
British humour is great, but the language is.... strange.
A.E. is much better to speak.
I don't like it that we have to learn B.E. at school.

No. I think, German is a beautiful language too. But English is easier.
English is easy, almost like french. If you can speak endlish very good, so you will learn french much faster because many words are almost the same. Only you have to speak they out on the other way. J'aime francais parce que je veux vivre a Canada. C'est la vie :p

A.E. is indeed easier to speak, but not as easy on the ears in my opinion. I just love hearing British dialects, especially Irish and Scottish.

Well, unfortunately that doesn't apply to me. I wouldn't say my English is very good, though. It's probably quite okay. But that didn't seem to improve my French skills at all :)

I don't like that, either. I can't say that I like the typical British pronounciation very much. Sometimes I think it's almost annoying.

For all the folks who can't speak japanese:
すみません。ここでは、トイレですか。あっりがとごやいました。
means
Excuse me, please. Where is the toilet? Thank you.

Nice thread...
I could practice some english here for my training in Hong Kong, but it think this isn't the right forum.
For all the people who think their english is worse go to MyHappyPlanet.com and practice a bit. ;)

Patrick where did you learning japanese? I'm learning chinese since 1 year... :D
This will be a good topic for conversation on ATUT... ;)

And how do you ask for the right kind of toilet in Japan, Patrick? Since I'd rather end up on a high-tech western style gadget-overloaded john than a traditional Japanese squat toilet.

I think this is a nice place to practice english, because we're speaking about everything. :D
