deutsche? stimmt das? also, du bist deutsche aber du wohnst in griechenland? sprichst du auch griechisch? wie viele sprachen sprichst du denn?
enermazing Nov, 04 2009 at 03:41 AM
ja, ich bin deutsche und lebe seit 10 jahren in griechenland. ich spreche deutsch, englisch und griechisch (nur "neu") und wenn's sein muss auch franzoesisch. Ueber Interlingua bin ich vor einem halben Jahr gestolpert, und war fasziniert, dass ich ungefaehr 2 wochen gebraucht habe bis ich so ziemlich jeden text in interlingua verstehen konnte. Vor zwei Jahren habe ich mit Sanskrit herumprobiert: weil ich die Schriftzeichen schoen finde :), aber in erster linie weil ich vor hatte, griechisch fuer englischsprachige auslaender zu unterrichten und feststellen wollte, wo genau die probleme sind beim erlernen einer sprache a) mit fremden schriftzeichen b) mit einer grammatik die mehr strukturiert ist als die eigene. ich bekam ein paar sehr interessante einsichten, habe aber dann aufgegeben, aus zeitmangel :)

ps: dein deutsch hoert sich "nativ" an, dein englisch auch (??) - da die "hauptverkehrssprache" in AB englisch ist, schlage ich vor, auf englisch umzusteigen

absolutely. all of those things are true and important. but for me there's something amazing about the history and organic development of language. tracing documents from charlemagne's time to see when french and german started diverge/emerge. looking at the 1400yr. old language of the qur'an and comparing it to an arabic news website. or even digging deep into old and middle english to better understand how modern english ticks. that thrills me. and amazes me.
exchange is great, but i'd rather see everyone speaking 3-4 languages each and be able to communicate ideas in the flavor of the moment as opposed to a frankenstein hodge-podge where no one has native jokes and the history of the constituent parts is muddled or unavailable.

re: history and organic development: that is one of the things i appreciate most about interlingua, that it is not as artificial as esperanto, but based on the roots (vocabulary & grammar) of a small, defined set of languages. it may be assembled, but it has a long history
- sorry, must stop, the owner of the computer just arrived ;)

i'm back, for the moment - the computer is my husband's, plus i am sitting at his desk in order to use it ;)
what i want to add is this: it is not difficult to interest someone who knows 2 or 3 languages already in learning more. but it is very difficult to motivate someone to learn a second language, especially as many people had bad experiences in school, shut off when they hear the word "grammar", and in general believe they are just "not good at learning languages". interlingua has all the components and advantages that would make it an excellent, and quickly rewarding pre-course "how to learn a language" (for anglo/roman native speakers), and i'm surprised that this hasn't happened long since
