French and Italian are awesome (Italian is cooler). Spanish is okay. Merely okay. I keep associating it with illegal aliens from Mexico (I live right next to the US-Mexico border). The other two I associate with European beauty and grace.

"Illegal aliens from Mexico"

That made me think about District 9 set in México.

Also I would be offended you don't associate Spanish with Spaniard beauty and grace but it's pretty much right. (Frenchs and Italians aren't much graceful though)

Chagen

There aren't as many as the right may say, though. Most of the mexicans I know are legal...I'm pretty sure.

My dad, on the other hand, is racist thinks that he can just "tell" if someone's illegal. His way of telling, however, seems to be just "looks vaugely Mexican and slightly poor". Yeah....

Italian and Spanish rock my socks. French is meh. Just meh. I keep associating it with the syrup-guzzling foreigns up north.

Say Stormtroper, how many languages do you speak? It was five right?

Just curious

Stormtroper

Four. Spanish, English, French and Japanese.

I only speak the first two well enough, though.

nohaynicklibre

I envy you. Though I would replace French with German

Ponicalica

ver say lees

Stormtroper

I envy you.

Don't say that. It's just a matter of perseverance, anybody can do that (and more and better).

I wanna learn German, too (and Chinese and maybe Russian).

Russian is awesome.

Chagen

Russian owns. Eastern European languages are cool in general.

glennmagusharvey

Polish is complicated to type.

Chagen

Really? Doesn't it use the Roman alphabet?

glennmagusharvey

Yes it does, but one with many modifying symbols.

Chagen

Clearly the answer is to get a polish keyboard.

I wonder if some companies make keyboards designed for mulitple languages at once.

glennmagusharvey

What funnyguts said.  I've installed the French and Spanish keyboards on my computer.  Though my needs are usually met by using the US-International keyboard.

Funny how no one associates Mandarin or Cantonese with grace and beauty and all of that wonderful bullshit.

Racist Eurocentric assholes.

GuyInWhite

Phyrexian is the coolest language IMO.

«Funny how no one associates Mandarin or Cantonese with grace and beauty and all of that wonderful bullshit.»

That's because it's a rare white person in the first place who has ever heard either language spoken and can recognize it as such.

glennmagusharvey

Mandarin is annoyingly smooth.  It's like, a fuckton of s/sh/zh/ts/dz sounds.

Cantonese is better.
