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.
