=/ I don't think then and than are synonyms.
But people mix up two, to and too all the time. XP
It's kinda difficult when you're learning a language and it sounds like something in your mother tongue but means something completely different.
I had that problem with French a couple of times.

Hey! Is it true that risk is negative and chance positive? I mean... is it true that you'd say "There's a risk she will die" and "I have a chance of winning"?
Because... it's like that in Swedish, but lots of people don't know "chance" is positive, so they'd be like "There's a chance I'll get AIDS!" (and I'm like "Yay?")
My teacher said it's the same in English... and I kind of trust her language knowledges.

Risk is negative and chance is usually positive, but not always. Unless people just have it wrong, like you say.
Although sometimes people say 'taking a risk' is a good thing. But that's like gambling...
I think taking risks is good. =/

Taking risks may be good. But the context in which they are used ius usually bad or negative.
"If I tell them how I feel there is a risk that our friendship is ruined. But there is a chance that they like me back."
I've never really heard the word risk used in something good.
"There is a risk that I will win the lottery(?)"
Never heard it.
So I'd say risk is negative and chance is positive.

More confuse-ness! biggrin
English - Swedish
semester - termin
vacation - semester
And my friend said "prater" is someone who talks a lot.
talks - pratar
"prater" is from Dutch and... well, that language is similar to German, Swedish and English (and a bunch of other languages, me guess).

My best friend talks about Lojban alot.
I like languages that are you know... cultural. Well, Lojban has to be too because I don't think humans can be un-cultural.
And I want to learn Japanese, Swedish sign-language, Iceland-ish and Latin first mad And maybe a bit French... just to be able to pronounce names and film titles xd And understand what the titles means.

 I study Spanish and French. I know much, much more of the former, though...you haven't really got a good chance of communicating with me in French. xd I've heard about Lojban before and have a little pamphlet about it, but I'd rather learn a language with culture behind it and such. I'd like to learn German, but I don't have the patience to teach myself and there's nowhere I can learn it. I pirated happen to have a copy of Rosetta Stone, but I don't have any good language packs yet.
