angie 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 If I sound like that in English, somebody shoot me, pronto! Just kidding, Eric! Not perfect but very good! Spanish is a challenging language to master. Unlike english. Me speaks the english very good and I don't study him. Believe or not you! C'mon I understand him!I've tried a LOT in order to speak spanish decently!And still I can't!I mean there are a lot of words,which mean the same thing and there are so tiny differences between them!Not to mention all the idioms!But the only encouraging thing is that even when i make mistakes ,people understand what i want to say!

I know, I was just kidding Yes, spanish is difficult to master, like most latin languages. As a plus, these languages can be very expressive for you have many choices of words and makes up for a more "musical" expression (I dearly recomend you to read Francisco de Quevedo's poems, but you need a very high level of spanish to understand them) And it can't be any harder than greek. I mean, you don't even use our alphabet! Anyways, who cares about Greece? What did they do to contribute to the Western civilization, for example?

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Well, I think we learnt something about Freaky today! Personally as far as sex in ancient Greece goes, I think Sappho takes the biscuit. She was a great poet who lived on the island of Lesbos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 It's a Bulgarian invention.... Oh well...close enough! As for Sappho, Muzza, so the legend goes! Too bad her work never reached us. I have a nice collection of greek and roman classical books (almost 70 books of a total of 100, but one of our usual economical crisis prevented me from acquiring the remaining books) I tell you it was a wonderful reading material.
