English: Practising

Ehm, i don't play any computer games at all. ^^

But maybe I can get a few good tips here.

well, if you like to think a lot and combine things, jack keane is great. it's funny, interesting and looks really nice. and it's not too complicated. just point and click^^

You're talking about this game, aren't you?

Well, it looks quite funny. But i don't know if I have enough patience for this kind of games. ^^

Hm.. sims2 is funny.. but i haven't got it.. a friend of mine has ist.. and when i meet her we are building tihs ridicoulous big unpersonal and cold houses with to many rooms and to many space^^

Lovely.

i am not a really patient girl, but these games are great. and they are really interesting, so there is no boredom. you can try the demo.

here you can get it: http://www.jack-keane.com/index.php?id=3&L=0

Thanks. ^^ I'll try it, when I have enough freetime. ^^

Hey, cool! Thx - i know what to do with my just-to-much-holiday-time (just one week left!!!)

Im not playing those games often, and i just have a few harry-potter (but of course, flying with a hippogriff is so cool! I love it - you can do it all the time in the tird one!) and this heureka-klett-adventure-learning games, but there difficult couse they mix all the stuff from up to six forms together (5th to 12th), so i lay them aside after a while ... (im no good loser^^)


And i DONT like point-and-click! Its so - argggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! i just dont get it! Give a minute with one of this online point-and-click games, and ill scroll down and follow the walk through step by step if i havent since the beginning!
okay, its really not my kind of game...

Ah, I also have some "learning programs"! One for Latin (Heureka) and another one for Spanish (Langenscheid).

But they aren't really fun ...

Mathica was really good... physikus...biolab...informaticus...geographicus... and opera is quiet good, too...
But i like mathica best - and its my best one... maybe ill try again when ive got time

Ah, I heard about these games. They are really difficult, aren't they? You have to combine a lot and to be creative and so one ... and you have to have a lot of patience! ^^

oh, yes... - i dont like biolab, in this moment im standing somewhere behind a wall and staring at a hundret of robots that're going to kill me if i show up and i punched them to life by pressing this big, red, hidden button which i found - and i know that you have to find it to get through the game! - and now i cant do anything. great^^ i love this games, ha ha...

I would get really aggressive after fife minutes playing this game.

So...

I'm convinced this thread died (a long time ago).
Think we should close it. If anyone has any objection, he might speak out now or remain silent forever. (^^)

No, really, does anyone has got a good topic?
(I'd be glad oif i could improve my english talking skills a bit - though i haven't got any problems with understanding, there are still difficulties in talking without using the same words and phrases - i notice this especially on deviantart.)

well, topic. hey, i got my new book since this morning^^ i waited almost two weeks, now i just have to pay the bill.

so, yeah. anybody else here who loves to read english books?

I really enjoy reading english books. well, actually it's not about reading english stuff, but the original book and the real sentences written by the writer. i can't stand bad translations (although some of them can suit the book. depends...)

Me too, I enjoy reading books in their original language. Especially the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Really, the translation is just... awful. And once I've read a book in German (I think it was "Erdsee") and I've found sentences which were neither German nor English.

And I muss state that my English skills are rather a bit rusty at the moment. Well, I should practice more before my holiday in England this year^^

Is there anyone here who speaks French?

Je comprends un peu, mais je ne parle pas bien. Pardon.

Where exactly will you spend your holiday? I'd really like to go to england, too.

I will spend my holiday in the south. We start in London and then, we'll visit different cities etc, for example Cardiff, Exeter, Cambridge...

Dommage^^ j'aime bien le francais^^

Je ne parle pas français. And i think i like english better - even though french is a beautiful sounding language, isn't it?

I like reading english books, too. I think the english language is less than complicated than the german, and i like its possibilities in grammar and phrases.

Yeah, english is actually my favourite languange.
i think - you can understand english, no matter who is speaking it, while it's rather difficult to understand german when its spoken with a great accent.

Like I said before, I had a wonderful one week stay in Budapest.
A beautiful city! Think i have fallen in love lately^^ like the ads say: "Budapest - a love for life".

And, while were speaking about languages (or least, i am) - hungarian is really strange - it's not like the other european languages. the hungarians came from asia, and if i remenber it right, the languange has had finnish influances, too.
But, though, nem beszélek magyarul. (= I don't speak hungarian - pronounced like "nem besselek madiarul" - nem means not; magyarul means hungarian - if i am remenbering those facs right, like i hope^^).

@Selene: Oui, dommage. Je cherche à apprendre le français, mais sans professeur ou un cours est très defficile (pour moi).

Well, I do like the english language, but the possibilities in grammar and phrases are more or less the same than we have in german, I think? I like English, because it's a "simple" language which also has its refinement and great importance in literature - but concerning the real beauty of languages I'm more into the Romance languages like Spanish, French, Italian ...

Besides: There are some tricky English accents, too.

Yeah, but im trying to say... german is always so complicated. And when youre trying to translate some english phrases to german, it sounds just ... well, lets say, not good^^; or is much longer than the english one.
And i (personally) dont like the hard consonants, and the "r"^^

Ive never heard those languages in action^^, but i think theyre kind of to fast. Or i just dont like all the very latin like languages^^

yes, of course - nobody is perfect, isnt he? =)

Has anyone ever read Carrols "Alice in Wonderland"? A masterpiece - by someone who really mastered all possibilities of language!

(By the way, the key under the one with the + is not working, so the single " is missing - like in "don_t". Please forgive me^^)

I've never read Alice in Wonderland (at least the original english version), but there is a new film comming out soon! with johnny depp, helena bonham carter, alan rickman and lots of other perfect actors! Oh, and by the way, the director is TIm burton (Yeah!! )

Oh jeah, i know - i am really looking forwards to it. You know when its comming out?

as far as i know in march '10

oh, i love tim burton and i love helena bonham-carter, johnny depp, anne hathaway and all the others

i think it'll be as crazy as all the other burton-movies
