cucoriedka Hallo alle zusammen! I've been thinking about something, well, it has been driving me crazy since a long time now... What I just can't stand, is when someone teaches a language that is not his own, and he teaches it wrong! Like for example when I was living in France, there was this guy who was really bad in German. I offered to help him with his next homework. He accepted, I helped him, he turned it in, and when he got it back, he failed it!! And I really don't think that I made a mistake, it was basic grammar. The teacher actually teaches wrong stuff! How irresponsible is that?!?! I mean, there's also another explanation to it. The guy usually fails German, so maybe the teacher just couldn't be bothered to read his (my!) homework and failed him anyway. Again, scream scream scream I think only people who really know a language should be allowed to teach. I mean, some teachers are really bad, I would probably do a better job even though I'm not a teacher... Sadly, you'll find that for any language. I always banged my head against the table whenever I had English classes and the teacher would pronounce words so wrong but nobody seem to notice or care stare Best was always when my teacher started correcting my American English pronounciation and gave me bad marks for _not_ speaking Oxford English (like, who the hell speaks that way, save, the guys in Oxford maybe?). And believe me, I have seen many English teachers fail with such simple things. And for the heck of amusement: "Wir bringen ihre Eier zum kochen!" This advertisment comes every night between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Who can guess what this is supposed to mean? razz

Our German teacher is a real drill master, she gets furious when you make a mistake. It does make sure you study hard though. I'm now in my third year of German, it's going pretty well. Only the grammar has me confused at times, I think that's the hardest part of every language.

I'd say germanic and slavic languages have the most complicated grammars so kudos to all who actually bother learning them. heart

I go to a private school, so the teachers actually don't need a teching degree, but they're all really good teachers, though a bit infuriating, and crazy at times, but, hey.

Well, as a whole, there are no particular traits that Amerind languages all share except for being spoken in the Western hemisphere. To say that Navajo shares any more traits with Pirahã than Japanese shares with Swedish would, quite frankly, be folly. That being said, there is a tendency towards polysynthesis among many Amerind languages, and some of them actually lack nouns. Polysynthesis is basically where a sentence is one or two words because all of the units of meaning are squashed together. The process involved in this is often very complicated. Have you seen Vajra B. Hairava's signature? In it, it says... Quote: Aruskipasipxañanakasakipunirakispawa which is the Aymara word for... Quote: It is my personal knowledge that it is necessary for all of us, including you, to make the effort to communicate. As you can imagine, that's very grammatically complex (although, it being Aymara, it makes an incredible amount of sense when you look at the structure, but I digress). That being said, I would say that the Caucasian and Aleut languages are the most complex; Inuktitut is pretty dreadful, too. And Koko, some Caucasian languages have well over fifty cases. One of them can be analyzed as having a hundred and twenty six.
