Just some quick facts then, or we wouldn't have much to talk about, would we? I'm Malaysian, and I'm an Animator. I adore listening to Florence + The Machines. I am currently taking lessons for German, but it's really all baby steps. Please bear with me. Ideally, my language partner for German would like to practice English as well, so we could help each other. :)

    What does 'ich mir' mean? Why do we require the personal pronoun 'mir' after using 'ich' in the same sentence? Is it okay to leave 'mir' out? Do you have other examples for this word combination? Just a little confused. Beispiele: Jedoch könnte ich mir vorstellen in der Rocky Horror Show zu leben. Vielen Dank! :D

    September sprint #4 "About learning languages"
     

    There is are about 7000 different languages in the world. Every person has him a native language which he they speak without any problems. This is a language that we use to communication communicate with our family, friends, or just someone people we know. But what about another other languages? Are  Aren't they important too?

    In Russian`s schools, children usually learn only one foreign language. Most of all  the time, this language is English. More rarely do It is rare for children to learn German, French, Chinese, or Italian. All of the children are studying languages but not everybody becomes advanced. These children say that they aren`t able to learn languages, but is it true? All of the teachers say that everyone can learn anyone a foreign language. What is a the problem?

    At first Firstly, why we can`t we choose the languages what  that we want to learn? Why do I have to learn English, while when I dream of Korea and Korean? Because it`s an 'international language'. Because my school and town haven`t don't have Korean teachers, but English teachers are everywhere.
    At second Secondly, why we haven`t we the motivation? Because nobody thinks that this is serious. Our teacher don`t  doesn't think that everybody will can learn English. Most of all our parents can`t speak any foreign language and don`t want that their children can  learning it. Children don`t know what they want and just do what is easy. They do nothing.

    Not all Russians think so, but the most of them.

    But our state says that English is important and all of people must to know English. The state adds English as an obligatory exam. Teachers teach children, parents give money, but nothing changes. Why? Because nobody understands why does he they do this.

    I don`t want to say that English is unnecessary, or ugly. I want to say that it will only be would be some effect effective, when everybody would have a has the motivation to learn it.

    Learning English

    I now have have now been learning English for many years. It must be have been 5 or 6 years. I started to learn learning when I was 14. I'm from France, and I must admit the French education system isn't the best one to learn for learning English. Courses are boring and teachers speak French all the time.
    This is why, 2 years ago, I decided to move to Canada for studies purpose the purpose of studying. I am now having classes with good teachers, from the United States mainly.
    I'm now able to write English correctly (I guess), but I still need to practice my speaking skills. I've got the opportunity to go to Sweden next semester, so I will have to practice. This will be an amazing exchange and I hope I'll come back from Sweden with a fluent English more or less.

    PS: Thanks to the ones that will correct me, and feel free to contact me if you'd like to practice your french !

    It depends, in some cases you could use both interchangeably. For example: I forced myself to eat the disgusting bread. I made myself eat the disgusting bread. However, in most cases, 'force' sounds far more rigid and almost violent. 'Make' sounds more lenient. almost like you are negotiating with the subject. Furthermore, 'make' can also be used in place of 'create'. Ex: I made the artwork. I created the artwork. Probably another reason why it sounds more positive. Hope it helps. :)
