Most university students i know (in Europe) can speak a couple of languages. I don't know why this is such a big deal. There are exceptions however like Spain, Italy,... where most people can only speak their native tongue, like in the USA.

English is not that hard to learn. In most countries you learn it a bit in school and you pick up a lot from movies/music or even websites like getbig.

mmmh, pas exactement du français ça mon ami, les mots sont corrects mais la grammaire est très mauvaise. Mais bon, c'est un bel effort. Deicide semble plus habile que toi.

"Homme est un loup pour l'homme"

Originellement on a dit: homo homini lupus.

Habituellement les parleurs des langues romaines différentes prêtent moins d'attention aux petites et subtiles différences dans la grammaire entre elles. Les gens espagnols supposent souvent que les règles pour le français sont identiques et les français font la même chose avec l'espagnol. La pensée analogique est une bonne chose mais ce peut être un piège aussi bien. Puisque ma langue maternelle est une langue germanique que je suis beaucoup plus prudent au sujet des analogies grammaticales parfaites dans des langues françaises et relatives. D'ailleurs notre ami de lupine ici est portugais.

A lot of it depends on your own native language. Most European languages are Latin based, so grammatically and structurally it is a lot easier to learn English if you have this background. That's why it's harder for people whose background is based in a different family of languages like Chinese/Japanese to learn English. The reverse is true too...learning these languages is not easy.

[Cleanest Natural]

ly high level of competency in English, I must say and thus I pose to you the question: where does this competency stem from? Intense study? Practice? Reading? Do tell...

your pathetic piss poor attempt at using Atypical words in order to fake brightness denotes the fact that you are ashamed of who you really are

your strategery failed

you WERE the brightest kid riding the yellow cheese bus and THAT my friend made your parents' hearts swell

Sev, please do the world a favor and put a shotgun in you mouth and pull the trigger, but do it somewhere in the forest where a bear might eat the rest of you so that no children might see you and get harmed.

Now STFU.

He means the general culture of Latinity I am sure; even linguistic outliers, such as the Finno-Ugric languages (Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian) have partaken in the lexical absorption of Latin. Even Basque, which remains unclassified, has borrowed enormously. Strictly speaking, however, you are right in that only the Romance languages are true daughter languages of Latin.

i can assure you there is no general culture of latinity over here

and the borrowing in our language is minimal

again u use fancy words but u lack substance ...

Romance languages : romanian, italian, retroroman (swiss ) are over 90 % latin based at origins

                               spanish, french, portughese, brasilian, catalunian also latin based

the easiest time to learn english is for german/nordic cultures ( swedes, danes, etc )

My opp is that learning has to do strictly with ones ability as an individual ...

I'm romanian by the way and moved to US @ 19

That being said, there are some exceptions ... Donkey Kong for example, a failed NAZI experiment @ cross breeding a monkey brain with an ASSanine cock .... poor fukk ... imagine his whole life : an amalgam of fatty tissue, skin, veins and lots of cartilage. How can we demand pictures when his family portraits resemble Zoophillyland ?

Dave Czech, Kyomu, Kamali come to mind.

I would of thought they can speak perfectly english like american natives but there even better then there.

Hehe. So you guys shouldnt make fun of my english that much!!

[Camel Jockey]

I speak two languages fluently, and 2 where I know some nouns and verbs and that's about it.  

Most Americans have some impulsive 'us against them' reaction when exposed to foreign things they're not familiar with, like cultural things they're never seen before or language.

Why foreigners may be able to speak so well is because English is the universal language. It's like a life skill that's expected now in most other nations.
