Portuguese is extremely hard as well, it's REALLY hard to learn all the grammar rules! Gaelic is also notorious for it's difficulty.

 

[Mango Elephant]

Russian is awful(ly hard).

Yup. I tried to learn Russian, but I couldn't decifer any grammer rules decerning the plural/singular forms of nouns. It seems like they were different for every word! Now I know how people learning English feel.

Manchu grammar isn't all that different from Germanic grammar.

...well, in some ways.

Is it possible to emigrate to canada or europe as an american with no skills or undesirable skills?

What skills are desired over there?

 

[BCLG100]

Bow hunting skills, nunchuku skills or the ability to grow a wicked moustache. Otherwise you're screwed.

Is encouraging savings really more important than encouraging spending in a downturn? What use does a company have for investment credit when business is slow?

Not likely. And certainly not when people are drowning in debt.

How can I tell the difference between loose skin and my good ol' blubber? Stretchyness?

Assume it's blubber. Have low self-esteem.

I love how Korean is mentioned three times in only two sources. I think we have a winner.

I feel that Korean shouldn't be that hard to learn because Korean is a pretty logical language. Then again, I grew up exposed to Asian languages, so I don't feel bewildered at Chinese tones. Maybe if you only grew up with the Latin alphabet, you'd be terribly confused at the new alphabet you have to learn, with the added difficulty that in Korean, the language is SOV (subject object verb) rather than SVO.

I assure you, my self esteem is quite low. It would take a LOT of money to get me to take my shirt off in front of anyone besides myself (which I can barely do as it is )

But when you go from a 40 inch waist to a 34 inch and drop 85lbs in 16-18 months, you just start wondering what the hell yer lookin' at down there, lol.

Euro users: How diverse are the coins in your pocket?

I have 5 Irish, 3 Spanish, 1 Portuguese and 1 German coin at the moment.

I have no non-Irish copper coins.

 

[chegel]

I have 7 German, 1 Luxembourgish and 1 Portuguese coins in my pocket at the moment. There is a jar with a lot of copper coins right next to me, but I do not feel like counting these right now. Most of them will be German or Luxembourgish.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Must be a fun game to collect them all.

The only thing I have of interest is a bent nickel and Canadian Tire money.

For those living in europe where do you take your vacations usually, is it within the E.U or outside? (I know they call vacations, taking a holiday in the U.K)

 

[W|M]

I mostly go in the EU, so does most people in my school, though I do occasionally go to Brazil. I'm going to Portugal in December, and possibly Poland after that.
