Why shouldn't he post in Spanish. Greg posts in French all the time but no-one says anything to him. << That's maybe because French is still a world's language and Spanish isn't!

My last post is not intended to insult spanisch speaking people, but a conclusion of the obvious fact that Gregs posts are accepted even if they are in French. Maybe most of the visitors here do understand French or have at least some knowledge of French so that they consider it ok.
Greg, posts in French because he thinks the 'languages' and 'English' split here is discriminating.He's can actually write English very well.

If we shall have a European language ( which many don´t want to have, and I am also one of them) it should be German. It´s the biggest language in Europe and it´s no doubt about it. German has roughly 100 speakers today and Germany is also the biggest economy in Europe. Thats the truth even if you dislike it. Spain or Spanish can´t match Germany today (maybe they can somwhere in the future but that is an other debate).
Danke Sander. Ich schreibe auf französisch ***UND AUCH*** auf ***DEUTSCH*** und ich mag die englische Sprache gern.
=>German has roughly 100 speakers<=
*Adding 6 zeroes* German has roughly 100.000.000 speakers :-)
Well, sorry I forgotten to say millions in may last massage.
(Thanx Sander)
And how many people in Europe actually learn German as a foreign language?

Oh many do, compulsive that is in secondary schools.
Think many people in Europe learn German. In Sweden it´s very common, and before WW2 they learned German as the first foreign language. I also know that it´s very common to study German in other countries.

Which ones? <<Oh many do, compulsive that is in secondary schools.>> Where is learning German compulsory outside the Netherlands and Sweden? |
