Hello guys ! I'm new around here. A really good friend of mine strongly suggested that I register to the forums. I am deeply looking for free minds to share ideas with, thinkers to ponder with. The more cynicism and sarcasm, the better ! I am a morphine-addicted French Atheist musician from Canada, and I study printing technology; nice to meet you.




So good to have you. I'm our resident Robitussin addict, and it's a pleasure to meet you!

If you see me touch on anything you'd like to have a more in-depth take on, I always welcome PMs and if I don't know what to tell you, I'll usually have someone I can point you to who does.

Perhaps you'll share some of your music with us soon! :zomgzomgzomg:

You'll never get points from me.
There are quite a few polyglots around here, myself included. And some other French-speaking Canadians.
There was a whole thread full of them awhile back.




I'm an aspiring polyglot. A for now, I just can say a few esoteric phrases in a startling variety of languages.

My old psychiatrist and another doctor I know both speak at least 3-4 languages, so I'm going to try to do it as well.

For now, as someone picked up on, I'm confined to a startlingly broad mastery of English vocabulary, but with Ancient-Greek Spanglish being my only other competency, if it can even be called that. Still, probably I'm the only person ever to accidentally utter "Autov" trying to say "man" in a sentence to a Mexican coworker :shrug:


What languages you know, sVs? Any tips for learning?

Every other province has let go of their ancient colonial culture. At least most of it. You go outside quebec and people wave the Canadian flag. They think they're so different but quebec was the first real Canada. Bilingualism is a good thing.

it was in 1995, and was dismissed. A minority still hopes it will happen, but it will not.

Very startling, my robo-tripping friend.
I speak Arabic, Spanish, Catalan, and a passing amount of French. I can muddle my way through German, Italian and Portuguese, but not very well.

I grew up with Spanish and Catalan being exposed to me, and married into an Arabic/French speaking household. Exposure is second-to-none when it comes to being conversational, so if you get an opportunity to immerse yourself with native speakers, it will teach you much more effectively than any courses will.

Absolutely, immersion is the way every language should be learnt in my opinion. You will learn more in a week of immersive conversations than a whole year of classes.

I was in college then, and my French Composition professor was Québécois.  I remember that most essays we wrote had something to do with the political hullabaloo up there.  I can't even remember which side he was on, but a friend of mine was born in Nova Scotia and that's how I learned about the panic in the Maritime Provinces.

Welcome, BTW! :cheers:

And that isn't even my dissociative-exacerbated confidence-crestfallen-begotten egomania... I can ask where the suitcases are in Japanese, talk about buying cameras with credit cards in French, beg for peace in Russian, talk about how lazy my slave is in Ancient Greek (this was typical life back then and how they taught it at Uni), implore someone to first do no harm in Latin, and that's about it but there's probably more this tequela is getting between me and. (look at that clumsy grammar, how un-st1lly! damn tequila).

That's very impressive, sVs! How fortunate you got such exposure, and what a neat, if esoteric, linguistical combo you married into exposure to lol. (clumsy grammar again! something about agava man...)

sVs, bud, so glad I chose to poke your post! I was trying to decide if I should stay on with McDonalds for the exposure to the Kitchen Staff, who are almost exclusively Spanish-speakers (I've affectionately dubbed it the "mexikitchen") and it seems like I'm not just engaged in a poorly-chosen subject for rationalizing (sorry, I'm starting to be drunk enough I'm talking like drunk akira_akuma :teehee:).



Just for anyone who thinks I may have some sort of language talent, it's my highest "aptitude" (my SQ subscore in verbal intelligence is the highest) but literally that's about all I know (what I enumerated), save for a "could survive if my plane crashed above Mexico" level of spanish.




I was going to do Spanish next but German seems to have made some extremely apt and precise distinctions in words that we clumsily use a single word or phrase for, and seems like a very precise language (plus I've been hired to investigate a 20s-60s German philosopher, and it's clear that English can only outline what his German was saying).
