English was me second language, and I’m sure for several of you fellow chaps are non Native English speakers.. so how hard was it for you to learn English..
the Grammar structure was somewhat similar to me native language, so it was no problem adjusting to it..but holy fish! this language has so much slangs and mutliple meanings.
It was very useful in finding a job..and it was the only language of instruction used at Hamburger University.. Yes it does exist!

Another nice thing about English, you can speak to a guy in the bar or your boss using the same words 🙂 Don’t try this in French, Dutch or any other Indo-European language.
Geforce , you’re born in Belgium right?
Are you Flemish or Wallon?

I learned english from watching old British tv shows on public television. This is the only place where I get to practice those old skills. Everywhere else I go I speak my native tongue. Amureecann

I don’t know. By the time i stopped learning English and started blabbering, bullsh!itting and ignoring all advice my teachers ever gave me i think i got the hang of it.
Learning a language requires lots of alcohol, and an occasional read.

Being serious for a moment (Blimey, that’s a first for me!), like Hand, I also work for an American company with offices throughout Europe, and almost without exception, the standard of English spoken by my European colleagues puts most of our UK workforce to shame.

Compared to French, German and Latin, I have to say that English is pretty easy. Nearly no grammar at all 😀

Now you know what happens to all the growth hormones that gets into the food chain… They employ the victims in the university!
Hamburger University? That’ll be next door to Pizza Polytechnic, and across the road from Gateux College? Me? I’m going back to cheese-on-toast school, thank you very much.
Nurse, the screens please?
