Interestingly, certain words that are hard to croak out in English I can make myself understood in other languages in the given moment.

Voices speak Swedish to me. Swedish voices?

As a frequent international traveler I've learned that almost everyone that one interacts with overseas speaks English, at least conversationally.

Like it or not, English is the second language of the Western World. No one in Europe can call himself "educated" unless s/he can at least get by in English.

Which is not to say that language instruction has no value, but there are few experiences more frustrating than to try to speak a few words of, say Italian in Italy, and have the person you are talking to just respond in fluent English.

I know what you are talking about and while stationed in Germany I found out that if you attempted to speak to them in German, the younger people would just start responding to you in English.

I was there long enough to learn enough German to get by in a selective conversation but still sucked at reading and writing it. When I asked why so many young people knew English, the response I got was that English courses were an option, and in some cases, if you intended to get into business they would need to know English. It wasn't really as much of a requirement as it would be a smart move.

The Germans actually had a harder time understanding our humor than our language.

Schizophrenia starts to feel like the sinful river invented by the Gods.

The world approach.

I only hear people? Atheists did not believe in a new return to history.

Do atheists want to judge other atheists?

God/Prophets has stopped fight to schizophrenic.

Schizophrenia is unfair.

 

[pal]

God or Prophets unfair to some atheists? Some atheists cannot act remotely against all atheists? Not all atheists have fallen ill.

18 distant defiant atheists defy me.

God does not want to save all people.

I trust in being able to language.

Are believers right or are atheists right? Is God's suppurate right or wrong?

The world is losing languages at an alarming rate, but at the same time becoming more multilingual. Ironic.

25 to 30 languages go extinct every year. Some sources put it at one language every two weeks. There are many elderly people around the world who represent the last native speakers of an ancient tongue. Teams of linguistics graduate students travel the world attempting to at least record these invaluable treasures of human history.

I met a nice woman the other day who taught me Khoisan

.

We really clicked.

Whisperers manage win a little.

Nazis want the end of life.

 

[pal]

No friendliness among whisperers.

Other people care when they are suffering. I care when whisperers reach me.

Nothing helps against voices.

The end of life is better ending?

Authentic atheists believed scantily.

Religious and atheists defy different opinion.

Always a story in support of a flood of foreign adults to pour in (so you can teach English).

We have inner city folks needing jobs. Not jobs to foreigners.

We are forced to work two jobs, having few kids, neglecting the few kids we do have to feed house and allow breeding our city folk. Those folks need to take open jobs and go to work. Not your imports.

We collapse so you can pour in (then brainwash) more DEM voters? Are you crazy?

Nothing about that post made any sense.
