Australia has no real culture, since our history doesnt have any real interesting bits npieces…we kinda hang onto USA’s coattails - see the recent foreign affairs “soladarity” from my prime minister…diverting attention away from his failed taxation and medicare policies…tsk tsk..we’re such a mix of mediterranean, asia, UK, US, etc
lol, what languages do people know…i did like two years italian, 2 years french but none of that matters…mandarin chinese i’m fairly fluent..
but i did do, hehe, 6 years classic greek and latin, nearly all of which i’ve forgotten…
oh, and 2 years japanese…
i’m wondering, cos i remember mano’s nationality breakdown and hearing about unter’s idea of identifying that…all very interesting to me… …lol we could even get lowcaliber constitution translated eh?
i know a lot of members can speak non-english languages: wanna put those down?
as you all know: i speak german because i am german. i speak english, because i leran it at school and because i’m listening to american music (e.g. mudvayne, slipknot, marilyn manson)
i’m able to speak some russian, but i hate that language because of the grammar. i try to learn delphi 7, too.
i know a bit of japanese, im fluent in english and im getting better and my aussie slang words, all sounds a bit strange from a guy with a scottish accent tho
i know a bit of javascript,actionscript,lingo,asp,vb
im not much of a programmer,more of a designer and graphic artist
Well for me I know English and the stupid french from Quebec, Canada (Damn you Quebeciers Shaking Fist Violently). I hope to learn German in a few years.
I am currently in a Multimedia/Web Designing Course. I will be following that course up with a 3D Animation Course this September.
I know several programming languages. HTML, Visual Basic, Basic, Javascript, Java, Lingo and Actionscript. I am in the process on learning XML, MySQL, XHTML, CSS and PHP.
I work with the industry leading programs such as Photoshop, Maya, Director, Flash and Dreamweaver. Thats just a little info. about me.
Music, first and foremost: Bach fugues. Throw in computer; and then the manly tounges: English, French, German, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Spanish, Latvian; all in various stages of imperfection.
PS. Identification going well; we’ve now registered 246 national flags on Rune from Andorra to Zimbabwe. They should make a nice complement to the scoreboard.
I stick to Beethoven, Everlast and some BlackPlague.
Languages: Romanian, English, Latin, Italian, lost pieces of French and German, and lots of curses -a must know for everyone- in Russian (mother Russia) and Yugoslavian.
btw
hey if you folks wanna hear some rad “natural” music do a search for Fractal Music/Chaos Music.
Kinda like classical but very eerie. Like something you would hear in an Undersea show lol.
As far as I can gather… they replace the #0-9 with an octave +/- 1 note, then “play” complex fractal equations. Quite beautiful
Hey Midknight I come from Montreal Quebec And I speak french and I try to be better in English, in the near future i shall learn swedish. Somethin for you to know Midknight most of the ancestor come from France Normandie (Normandie for land of the Norse Man) Give to an army of Danish-Swedish Vikingsname Rolo by Louis Le Gros. You should be happy to have us
in your contry lol. see ya in the arena
Sorry about that Ulfhednnir. I am just angry at the way they teach french over here in Saskatchewan. It is really stupid. I am sure if we had French teachers that were actually french it would be a lot better.
English, obviously. I know tidbits and phrases in French, German, Polish and Italian (used to date a lot of italian women, lol) But I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on when I run into someone that speaks these langauges.
I know a little Spanish, not a whole lot but I remembered most nouns from years of high school Spanish. When a Spanish speaking customer comes into the ol’ workplace, my employees get me to take their order. I think I’ve got a knack for foreign languages, I just don’t have the time or the patience.
Back in the old days, (1996-ish), I used to write webpages by hand. I knew the basics of html pretty well. I’m a little rusty now but if need be I could shake it off. Oddly enough, I quit with web design when I started using programs like Frontpage98.
I haven’t forgotten about UScript either, Unter, lol. Last time I tried to get started, I couldn’t lol.
…lol we could even get lowcaliber constitution translated eh?
, nice crowd we have here, for sure…
