[QUOTE="LiRFCMatt, post: 783752, member: 72144"] Yeah English is a Germanic language, but thanks to the Italians we got a whole heap of Latin in our language too. No wonder we don't want them on our TV sets, only Germanophones from now on please. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Mate I teach English in French schools and I can tell you that in general they are absolutely horrible at the language, almost as bad as the anglophones. The grammar at school level is god awful and the accent can be terrible. My accent has turned into a hodge-podge of all sorts of things, and people now mistake me for German (which might be better than English!?). However, I also teach German students English and my lord, I don't know what the education system is like over there but these 16 year olds come over practically fluent, much better than they are at French which probably highlights the differences between the Germanic and Romantic languages. Tell you what I found weird, when studying Spanish I noticed that Romanians are all super fluent in Spanish and the languages are very similar. That struck me as odd. BBC>ITV [/QUOTE]
