LOL! none of the europeans has replied to this thread


us ddutchies speak english cuz english is a prohibited course in secundary school

and next to that, the english/canadian/australian/american tv shows and films are subtitled so that way you automatically practice ur spoken english

And most of us speak a handfull of french and german aswell

like miss p already mentioned, we get to know english very well (me especially by watching ALOT of foreign television series). some words we use in our normal language (dutch to dutch) as well, but that's most of the time because it sounds cool :P like 'I'm master' or that Rules!

before I forget: as dutchy you NEED TO LEARN FOREIGN LANGUAGES, cause if you don't no one outside of holland/belgium will understand you... so it has grown into our lives..

about the german language: that is ALOT tougher for me, because I barely speak german people.... but I know a lot of people who can speak german because there company deals alot with germany...

and french.... When I listen to the french television.... hardly understand a word of it... despite of 3 years of learning french @ secundary school==>> actually quite a shame, because france is definately a nice country (with ALOT of beach and sun )

for the rest I need to say I'm planning to learn spanish in the future.... I think that is going 2b the 'english' of the 21 century...

its called school... a lot of EU countries have it so the kids learn english from an early age.. this is because english is one of the international languages recognised by the world in general...

e.g. in international courts of law, its all english but with translators etc etc..

In Norway kids start english at the age of 7 or 8. We have it up to we're 17 where we can choose if we want it or not. And the subtitled tv shows and such also helps
Hehe, I've also had french for 5 years, but I couldn't hold a french conversation even if I tried hard

Peace

actually Finnish does NOT belong to those languages, estonian, finnish, hungarian (and "samiska", don't know what it's calles in english) belong to the finnish-ugrish languages

In Germany everyone going to school has to learn english for at least five years, so everyone here understands and speaks english quite good.

BTW: Someone said that only the younger germans speaks a litte bit english. Obviously this person has never been to Germany since, like I already said, everyone learns english in school (since the end WW2 they have to, before that they had to learn Latin and French), and the older (today really old people, who went to school before WW2, learned it when big parts of germany were occupied by the americans and the british.

As reveal said finnish isnt a germanic language. And English isnt really a germanic language either is it?

And as someone else said. Living in a smaller country you get more influences through media and such from across the national borders. Foreign movies / music / whatever are almost always in english. Naturally you pick up on it.
