Possibly. They paired us up with kids but mine was shy and wouldn't talk so instead I taught him to punch the other male US students in the butt on command

probably not the cultural exchange that was intended, but it worked

I want to go there to learn the language too

I just want to *go* there

_mo, that's because you're a wapanese

and you just want to go there because.. you're not?

because I want to learn the language

well, just going there would be fun too, of course

you don't have to *go* some whereto learn a language

it helps of course

exactly

actually, you have

for instance, I can type English quite well, but pronouncation gives me problems

I'm interested in, the language, the food, the coulture, the history, the television, the people, the

I've never been to england or USA

I've been to London

my spoken english is rather good

_mo, how come then?

how come what?

how come your spoken English is good

where are you form anyways

Norway

scandinavian people usually know English well

for some reason

not really. most other norwegians I know are suck at it

and I mean *SUCK*

you can't even compare it to, say, Germany

or Italy even

I wouldn't know

not to mention France

never been there

you don't have to go there to know it

but generally the amount of suckage I've heard is pretty bad

English isn't even a mandatory subject in France's schools

maybe not

people in Norway, Sweden etc. know it relatively much better

perhaps because they aren't born in former empires

well being in norway talking to other norwegians in english is a pain

I think it has

take France as an example

they're associating English with the American culture

they won't learn it for that reason

o_O why would they?

that's weird

I don't accosiated england with anythign but.. uh.. england moslty

because they (like the rest of the world) don't approve of the expansion of it

lol

france want to be the epicentre of global culture

whic they once were

all countires want that

norway to

and England is their historical enemy

i think if you look at french history they would have more reasons to be against GB than US

I dunno, i thought it had a lot to do with centuries of hospility between England and France

hostility

PRAEst76, that too

well. sweeden is the historical enemy of norway, and was even owned by them but noly 100 years ago

_mo, you just don't understand the mentality of French people

no I don't. you don't understand the mentality of norwegian people, because neither of us is the other

:)

i understand the mentality of Parisien taxi drivers; they want me dead.

lol

if you take the hostility to england then perhaps scots speak the worst english :>

_mo, you don't have to be one of them to understand the mentality

'deed

I know the russian mentality rather well because like 40% of the population in the city I live in are Russians

but I'd argue that I understand norwegian mentality better than you?

and it's the capital

I've known Russian since I was very little without even learning it in kindergarten or whatever

I think it speaks for itself

and I, have spoken english fro mi was 3

how come?

because

well anyways, it's a matter of being informed

Americans who say "caucasian" to refer to white people annoy me

it doesn't make any sense

what has Caucasus to do with my skin color?

ah, the arc of noas lol

that's so stupid

if there was such a thing, people of all races would have to be on it

not just white people

unless you assume that the other races appeared after that big flood thing

I have a problem, http://musicbrainz.org/track/fae74a56-c05b-42d9... actually translates to "kyuuono youkitsune" and not "kyuubino youko"

why?

what am I doing wrong?

ok bi can also have the same kanji as o then

but there is no kitsune kanji for ko

hmm

anyone knowwhat the [on] and [kun] means here: [On] bi [Kun] o ?

_mo, every kanji has (at least) two readings, an on reading and a kun reading

ah! what is what?

what is the difference and is there a way to guess what reading sould be used?

I don't really know any more than that =D

ok

but it helps

There is, but I don't know what

alot! thanks

no prob

Oh

Check out "Readings" section

hi ClutchEr2

Hi there! I have a problem with MB Tagger and after half an hour of searching through the FAQs I found nothing about it: I added Romanian diacritics to a few songs that lacked them; they look OK on the MB web page, but they're garbled both in MBTagger and in the files it writes. Is there anything I can do?

Is this common?

yes, MBTagger can't handle unicode

the only fix is to upgrade to picard tagger
