Haha no I meant is that a language? I didn't know if it was small enough that it wouldn't have its own language.

I've been watching them for about 10-ish years. The repetition doesn't seem to bother me much. But I mostly watch historical dramas anyway.

Yeah but you knew that I was from Armenia before right? I think I told you before :D

Nope. For instance in my family my brother can say. My name is.... and that's about it.
I took 6 years of French Immersion a long time ago so I am a bit more proficient. I could converse with a toddler maybe. lol.
My mom is a bit better than my brother but not by much.
Most people have about the same proficiency in Canada with French as the Americans do with Spanish. Very similar. :)

Unless people live in a big city, they never really even think about it. My town is pretty small. There are a few Mexican families but that's about it. If I were to go to any other country I would want to go to England (because my mom is half English) or Ireland just because. I definitely want to see some castles some day.

We existed since 300BC and were a kingdom once, however after recent historical events that took place we lost half of our lands :) that's why it's small now
Edit~A wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "✌ Ashley ☠ wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "I Love languages too!!! in Armenian there is a saying, word to word translation would be 'As many..."Same! I got to Korean by way of Anime lol. Anime is a gateway to other Asian languages obviously. lol.
Sailor Moon was the bomb. I actually hate it dubbed now and prefer it subbed. Never got into the shounen anime. Always preferred the shojo. Although I do like Bleach. It's like my one exception.

historicals are the worst when it comes to repetition lol the in-laws are always after you, and you're poisoned, and there is a traitor in the family that's it. Always and forever

Sadly, all the Spanish I know I learned from Dora. I should have taken that instead of German and Japanese.
I'm tempted to download DuoLingo again and learn it.

America is one of the worst I think. It's such a powerhouse that most of it is concentrated on itself. Other countries tend to focus on the US and other countries more.
Edit~A wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "✌ Ashley ☠ wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Edit~A wrote: "I Love languages too!!! in Armenian there is a saying, word to word translation..."Probably pays better. lol.

Yes. I actually meant back then. I have a very general idea of where it is now. Not as close to Europe as you would think but closer to Russia. That's about my knowledge of that portion of the world in general. I sometimes can't even remember all my own provinces and territories. :S

O.O I didn't know that! Canada is a barely a zygote compared to it then.

I think that's one reason why a lot of other countries think of Americans as rude. There is a big perception that most Americans don't care about other countries. I think a lot of it comes back to resources. The ones who have them, usually speak another language. The rest either don't have them or are focusing so much on getting by that they just don't take the time to worry about it. Then there are a huge number that enjoy other cultures but just don't want to learn the language because they just don't have any way to learn, but I imagine that's the same as other places.

I've found some good ones. I guess I just love them so much that I miss the flaws. Love learning the history.

I've got duolingo on my bookmarks. Just out of sight sadly. Too many bookmarks. Need to figure out how to get it in view so I am tempted to use it every day.

Haha so we should start your geography class now.
On the other side of the planet we call it Europe and Asia (as if continents) and you should know that half of the Russia is in Europe. and the half in Asia, it's so huge lol That's the Europe that I was talking about.
Now the Europe that you're saying is the EU, the countries in the EU lol And yes Armenia is not part of the EU.

I did not know that half of Russia was in Europe and half was in Asia? I just thought of it as it's own continent almost. It's so huge!
Oh, Africa I didn't even think about there. I would love to go on a Safari. Now I just want to go everywhere :/ Pretty sure no one wants Americans in their country right now though.

Cause actually the European countries like France and Germany and Spain, where they have pretty popular international languages, they don't speak in a second language that much as well, much more than English speaking countries but not a lot. Australia and UK would be the same in that case lol I think it's the smaller countries that teach foreign languages, and it's apolitical move. Well that's my opinion. I love Americans tho :D minus the new president

Lol, yeah I got it, lol that's why I corrected you, sorry about that tho. It is HUGE! 11 timezones, 3 ocean borders, 14 neighboring countries!! CAN YOU IMAGINE?? IT'S A GIANT COUNTRY! Lol and yes it spreads on almost half of Eurasia continent :D
