German is the best sounding language, super strong like Hebrew and Russian. German isn't romantic at all, even when you're trying to be. "Ich liebe dich!" isn't as romantic as "Je t'adore". In Rammstein songs, many are love songs, and many are weird violent ones, yet not being able to speak German, there's no way to tell the difference, because they both sound violent! <br><br>Shalom Maggie!! I was born in Israel, and Hebrew was my first language, but when I moved to the US, the school put me in a speech theropy class to get rid of my Israeli accent. The class went on for 5 years, kindergarden to 4th grade. Today I see it as "English conditioning", making me forget my Hebrew. Now all I know is Shalom! Mazel tov! and a few other things. I'd like to learn Hebrew of course, but I don't have time, and of course there's no Hebrew class in school, and probably not one in any state college. I'm waiting for doctors to make a medicine that will make me remember my long lost Hebrew.<br><br>Right now, I'm taking French. In college, I'll be taking German and Russian. I'm so good at learning languages, I don't know why. I got a 100% GPA last year in French 1, 100% GPA the previous year in Language, and currently have a 100% GPA in French 2. (I such arse in English class though!) I'll be able to handle 2 languages in college easily. After that, I wanna move to der Schweitz! (Switzerland) In Switzerland, the officials languages are (in order), German, French, Italian, Romansh. I'd like to learn Czechoslovakian (and maybe Italian and Hebrew) when I move there. Romansh (pernounced roe-monch, with a hard ch) is a dialect in eastern Switzerland that is natively spoken in only 1 canton, no reason to learn that. Isn't Dutch similar to German? I just learned yesterday how to say underwear in Swedish! Underkläser! And of course, that's similar to German. The one thing that I don't like in German are the words Frau and Fräulein, they just don't sound romantic AT ALL. Mademoiselle, now that's sexy, but Fräulein? Nope. <br><br>Oh, and Bjorn is such a cool name! I'll keep it in mind if I have a boy. For a girl, I like the name Anita, the Russian pernounciation.
