I will answer you later. Am busy writing a post in German! :)Luminita schrieb:No, it get‘s worse :D No, seriously, the better I got in english, the more difficult I found the switch. I remember watching a video, mainly english, and it suddenly switched to german. I didn‘t understand a thing for the first few minutes.
But that‘s just my personal experience, maybe you will get used to it with time.
OK - but is German your mother tongue or a foreign language? For me this does not happen at all between Swedish and any other language. It only happens between two foreign languages, such as German and English, English and French, French and German... Another very odd thing, is that when I speak English in Germany, I very often start speaking with a German accent... like in the old British and American movies about WWII... :-O

I had not thought about that... that the similarity between two languages can play a part in it. I know no other languages than western European. (I began learning Arabic once, but never got very far...)

why is it, that most of the people can't speak english here. I truely can't understand, what "I find it good" should mean for exsample. Also you can read a lot german stuff here.
It is no problem if you can't speak e[/b]nglish at all. We all need to learn it piece by piece. But to be honest, you can't learn english correctly if you only read this german-english-mix-stuff.
What do you think about that? And don't use this copy and paste technic all the time. Write it in your own words ^^
Bye
Annotation:
When i was in school, i had the problem that my english was to good. Most of the other students didn't understood me. The worst part is, that a lot of people made fun of me and gave me names just becourse i could speak english and the others not.
Also most of the people, nearly everyone I know, can't speak english. The problem is, they can't understand a few jokes after all. They don't understand simple Videos on Youtube.
This is so disturbing
Yes, what we saw there was a serious case of "the pot called the kettle black"... :DRedBird schrieb:The sentence "I find it good" is grammatically correct and even though it sounds like Denglish, it is used by native speakers too. Thus, I do have some serious doubt about the reason for the mockery in your school class back then. Keep educating yourself, it won't do any harm - at least not for the readers who might get a bad headache if you don't.
So it seems, but at least it was somehow entertaining to read it. You're Swedish, right? I learned a little Swedish a while ago and compared to Finnish it is kind of easy. But since I didn't use it for almost a decade it is a little rusty I guess.Merwinna schrieb:Yes, what we saw there was a serious case of "the pot called the kettle black"... :D
That is quite some nonsense. More likely your English wasn't good enough to adapt.
Yes, I'm Swedish. Swedish and Finnish do in fact belong to two entirely separate language families. They are not related at all, despite of the fact that Sweden and Finland share a long border. The people who was going to develop into Swedes came over from the South and the West, and the Fins-to-be from the East. (It is very difficult for me to find the words in English now, as I have been discussing in German in another thread here, so I keep thinking in German! I have great difficulties switching between my various foreign languages nowadays; I can even feel the strain in my brain...)
Let me try...
Min svenska är inte bra.
The more languages you learn, the more likely you are to mix them up. German might be hard to learn because of our demonic articles. But learning Finnish causes a mixture of depression and agression with occational eath depopulation phantasies.
Haha, I did exactly that two months ago, in Rostock, at the Hanse-Sail! Worked perfectly! I love German sailors! :D Wish I could have gone to Bavaria for the October Festival as well, but that was not possible this autumn.
