"Sank beneath the the waves of the Lethe" is an incredible phrase. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 26/06/2011 06:01:00 AM
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

/Simple Question: at what point do you tell people you "know" a language or "speak" it? Tom - 24/06/2011 02:49:51 AM 900 Views
Here's what I tell various people Larry - 24/06/2011 03:09:45 AM 692 Views
It's interesting that you focus on the literary side Tom - 24/06/2011 03:29:36 AM 648 Views
I do that because I make some money from translations, so I have to "know" at least one other, no? Larry - 24/06/2011 03:41:24 AM 674 Views

I'd say it depends on the purpose... jh - 24/06/2011 10:04:48 AM 822 Views
I agree that it varies on why you're being asked ironclad - 24/06/2011 10:45:02 AM 758 Views

I had a feeling you might enjoy the survey. Tom - 24/06/2011 10:50:47 PM 564 Views
What can I say, I'm predictable? Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:00:49 AM 668 Views

Funny how your taste in languages still to learn parallels mine to a great extent. Legolas - 25/06/2011 01:04:36 AM 622 Views
Yeah, and I realized that last list should include Farsi and Arabic. Tom - 25/06/2011 02:24:06 AM 622 Views
Oh, and Hawaiian. I have about seven books on Hawaiian. All bought in Hawaii, of course. *NM* Tom - 25/06/2011 02:35:43 AM 267 Views
I suppose Farsi must be easier than Arabic. Legolas - 26/06/2011 11:18:23 AM 669 Views
Yes and no. Tom - 26/06/2011 05:08:29 PM 1718 Views
