No , since I live in The Netherlands that's not a great idea. I just talk Dutch but I wouldn't mind if tomorrow everyone in Holland spoke English. :wink:
Your feelings towards Dutch remind me of how I used to feel about Irish when I was younger. But it wasn't really a native language for me as my parents didn't speak it and I only came into contact with it through school. It is a little hard to understand why someone would grow to dislike their first language so much. I'm not being critical or expecting you to explain yourself, just making an observation. It's just not everyday you find that kind of thing.
I don't like English at all, it's just my opinion. I guess I dislike it for different reasons because my situation is different.. because it made me forget my Russian. :( But I'm getting it back........
I like English, but if any other language was my first I would like German. I love the sound of it.
I wish my native language was French.
Funny, I wish my situation was exactly the opposite, I'd prefer to know English better than Russian. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.Quote:

It sounds very pleasant to my ear, unlike German or Dutch. In addition, it has very concise and logical structure, perfect for my needs and aesthetic taste. Russian is bulky, full of implied meanings and inefficient in clear precise communication. In fact, at work I always switch to English with my Russian-speaking colleagues .
Well, Russian is not so bulky as you think. Maybe one needs plunging in the atmosphere of speaking, listening and understanding it for many years. Then it could be great becuase you know many ways to express yourself on different levels of communication just playing with intonation, strcuture of sentences, word meanings and all.
Nevertheless it doesn't prevent me from adoring English which has its own ways of making communication, and in comparison with Russian it really rocks. That's my opinion. When I firstly heard it spoken I liked it without delay. I remember feeling excitement when I for the first time started to leran it seriously. With the first lessons, I fell in love with Enlish, and nothing will change the opinion of mine that it's the Language-to-Know. I may be wrong. But that is how I feel.

I know very little about my great grand parents, so the only thing I know about my gandparents is one of my grandfathers is Ukrainian. Both my parents are Russian. So I think I'm Russian.
I think French sounds beautiful. Plus I am trying to learn French, I am reading les mis in French right now and there all all kinds of words that are not in the dictionary and weird expressions that I can't figure out. I wish I already knew what it all meant.Quote:

In these details, Russian is similar to classical Latin and Greek but with many fewer irregularities of inflections as those two, and so seems much better suited than English as an international language of scholarship and technology.
English had too much of a head start, though.
mmk... first time at this... whoa now. ok, well I am mostly Russian... I am also Anasazi.... if I can spell... :roll: iono how to spell that, but uuhhh.... yeah it is a small, but known Native American Tribe from the four corners area.... Its really neat. :D I am also part Hispanic... But yeah iono what the persentages are tho.... :? mmk...
Doesn't it get quite strange and a bit ridiculous to discuss the percentage, countrywise, of one's heritage. :roll:
I think it's just a bit of fun and not to be taken too seriously. It's not like we're testing for ethnic purity or anything. It's just interesting to know people's background.Quote:

I am PURELY ARAB . :D :D
By the way we are one of the fewest nations that have recorded their ancestors hierarchy till these days. I can count up to my 13th grandfather.
We are so sensitive regarding our bloods so we like to have pure bloods but this does not mean that we are racists. As muslims, there is no different between Arab and non Arab, white or black races, they have the same rights and they are brothers. Regarding, relatives and blood relations we are supposed to know these relations and hierarchy in order to DO SILAH (visiting and caring about your relatives) also to help us in determinig the heritage division among inheriters.
What do you think of Arabs who marry non-Arabs?Quote:

It is not prohibited in Islam to marry Chrestian or Jewish girl, but you can not marry a girl with other religion than Islam, Christianity, and Jewdism.
Also, a Muslim girl can not marry non muslims.
Religeous bonds ard not that very good.
