CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Guten tag!
I took German for 2 years here at college...because I had always wanted to take it. I'm thinking I might re-take it at some point...but I don't know.
Es geht mir gut. (In case anyone was wondering.

Das ist sehr gut, Angel.
Es geht mir gut hier, auch.
I took 2 yrs of German in H.S. (largely self-taught, but that's another story). Then, in college, I took 2 semesters of it to get my BA. I have to admit, though, I'm more comfortable with Spanish right now, because we have a lot of Mexicans in our area & I just picked it up from some Mexican friends.

Wols, soy de Indiana!!! Pero, tenemos muchos mexicanos aqui in el ciudad!!! En el campo (countryside), hay muchos mexicanos tambien (they are migrant workers).
Spanish is very similar to Italian. People might disagree with me, but I think it is. I learned Italian from Spanish and vice versa.

To Avila:
Spanish and Italian and French and Portuguese are all "Romance" languages. They came from the common root language, Latin. So, yes, you will find many similarities amongst all Romance languages.
When I took German in college, I was VERY surprised at the number of words that are similar to English. Lot of Germanic history in Anglo-Saxon language!
Peace be with you,
~VOW

VOW I know about that. It is pretty cool, really. I can sorta read some French and Portugese because of my background with Italian and Spanish. As for speaking, I'm totally clueless - unless you count for pronunciation only!
I think German comes so easily for me because of the history of many English words. I love words, language/s, and language development!

Avila,
I bet you have a large Wernike's lobe, it's a lobe in your brain largely responsible for language and language development. I am afraid mine is rather small. I was just in Germany and Italy, and managed to pick up neither...but Italy was a fiasco! Well glad to meet you.
