Hmmm...That site could help me.
It seems to be just as complicated as Latin though.

No, I posted the link for fun, don't torture yourself with it. I'll gladly translate for you anything you want to learn
I know you posted it as a joke. I figured maybe it would help me anyway.
I figure if the whole world can learn English for us Americans and British I should be able to learn some of the languages from teh countries I want to visit.
I'm still not speaking full Dutch the way I should> i can understand it and read it fine. I just happen to freeze up when i speak big sentences.
Did you have to learn Italy while you were Italy or was there a special school you went to on base?

There was a Greek high school but not an elementary one. So I attended an Italian school in the morning and in the afternoon all of us aged from 6 to 12 (about a dozen kids) we'd go at the base and a Greek officer would teach us a few basic things, just so that we could keep up with classes when we got back home. It sounds like lots of work but somehow we enjoyed it and still had lots of free time to play
At such a young age kids learn at an amazing rate. The first day in the Italian school everything sounded Chinese to me... and yet in a couple of months I was reading, writing and speaking the language. I don't even remember how, it just happened

Yes, children seem to learn faster than adluts. Here some kids under the age of 12 know English already while I still struggle with speaking Dutch.
Do you still know Italian or have you forgotten it? I know my mom used to knwo Spanish but since she never used she forgot the language.

Yes, Italian and Spanish have identical structures, but my mom wouldn't believe me when I told her that.
I learned some basic Italian while in Sicily and I was able to do it because Spanish was spoken in my school sometimes.

Personally, I don't post there. And I wouldn't say that the GB is a completely "bad" place--a few of my favorite Litsters post there regularly, and I've observed some pretty nice people over there whom I don't know, too. But for the most part, they appear cliquish and pointlessly snide, and yet believe they're "better" than those who post primarily on AmPics.Crazy_Jezabel said:
Oops, I see the thread has gone in a different direction now. Just wanted to clarify, carry on.
