I found Dutch to be a little more melodic,kinda like a twang on certain words & more from the throat while flemmish is down to earth more direct & straight forward,I could be wrong there!

robsantiago15: For a person to keep proficiency in a language you have to constantly use it and somebody that you can practice it. I have had the opportunity to live in other countries and I was always surrounded by English speakers that I could never learn the local language. The only reason I speak Spanish is to communicate with my family. For dealing Engineering with English is much better to use. Is a language that's straight forward. When I was trying to learn Japanese I was having because the logic of the language was backwards English or Spanish, that I would end up confused. And now I'm having similar problem with German.


You are totally right, what I meant was to get the most you can and enjoy that particular language.
When I was in Greece language was really complex but fun. We (some friends from chile and I) did try to make a phone call to our countries from a public phone, every thing was in Greek, so I did place the phone card on the public phone and push every button one by one until I got tone, I wonder if i did call 911 in the meantime but I did hung fast enough not to bother them, I did hope.
Something similar happened to me in Iceland, trying to get gas for the vehicle and again, I pushed all the buttons (no one around to help) until I got gas.

I really did not make an effort to learn Greek or Icelandic because I was there for only a short time.

Buen día!

No way, they are not related to English, in matter of fact I was told by a Welsh woman that when the English conquered Wales in the Middle Ages, the Welsh were prohibited in speaking their language so they won't be able to plot anything against the English, without the English not knowing. In fact Welsh is so different: it lacks vowels (it has vowels but, not commonly used as other languages)

The longest word in any language is in Welsh, if I'm not mistaen, it's a name of a railway station and here it is:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

YES THAT A WORD!

In English it translate:"St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".

Note what I meant by "lack of vowels"

I mean in the first part of the word there is: rpwllgyllg

How the hell do you pronounce that?

Note also that the Welsh and English versions are totally different.
