What language is used to communicate in the European parliament meetings?
Q. I would really appreciate it if you would be able to tell me what language is used to communicate in the european parliament. And for that matter I would like to know any instances where the language used to carry out the meeting was different from the native language of the country. For example a meeting held in Germany would be conducted in Spanish due to the ppl attending it. I am trying to study what langauges are given more importance in formal situations (political instances) in europe only. Thank you in advance.

A. There are 27 states in the EU and the language of every state is an official language in all European institutions, parliament included. So, everybody can use his/hers national language there, and an army of translators translate the speech in other languages.

Is a language with words that explain tiny differences easier or harder to learn than a language with only one?
Q. Is a language with words that explain tiny differences easier or harder to learn than a language with only one general word for something (for example, 30 words describing different types of snow versus "snow" used for all types "snow)? Why do you think so?
Asked by fita - Wed Feb 23 01:06:01 2011 - Languages - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Strangely enough probably easier to learn with lots of variables. Some words in English have clauses like 'exception to the rule' such as the e before the i except when a c. You have certain rules to abide by, but some words are different and the rule is bent to accommodate them. You'll only find this out when you eventually begin to learn another language. So I wouldn't put to much worry on will you ever learn the subtleties and differences. Usually these things with the languages have a way of making you learn them. By the way I don't speak another language, but have always wanted to be able to do so. The word 'snow' is classed as an uncountable, like sugar and salt. or sheep which is singular and plural without change. The emphasis that… [cont.]

Is American sign language considered a second language that a lot of college's require?
Q. I plan to go to BYU. And all the high school teachers tell me that most colleges require a second language. I want to learn sign language instead of Spanish. Is sign language considered a second language that I need to get into college?
Asked by Scott C - Wed Aug 29 23:43:33 2007 - Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Some colleges will give foreign language credit for sign language and others won't. Most colleges require two years of college-level foreign language, but you take a placement test at the beginning which can exempt you from part or all of it. BYU may or may not have accommodations for you to "test out" of sign language, but may not if they don't offer courses in it. So you may end up having to take another language when you get there, but many students who take two years of high school Spanish have to start over in college anyway, or in any case they will usually have to take a year of it in college. So even if they don't take your credits, you wouldn't be far behind, and if you want to learn ASL and have the opportunity to do so, [cont.]

What's the difference between second language acquisition and foreign language acquisition?

How come Filipino language is not considered a romance language?

Asked by Chewbacca - Wed Sep 15 19:34:41 2010 - Languages - 6 Answers - Comments
A. It's all about the core of the language. Compare English: English has picked up huge amounts of French and Latin, but its core grammar and vocabulary is Germanic. Same with Filipino/Tagalog. It has picked up a great deal of Spanish from centuries of contact, but the core language - the grammar and basic vocabulary - is of the Austronesian family.

What major language is spoken by the least amount of English speakers?
Q. This includes both native English speakers who learn the major language, and native speakers of the major language who learn to speak English, whether out of necessity or because it is an educational prerogative of their nation to teach English to their students. Basically, I'm curious as to what the rarest major languages would be for a fluent/native English speaker to put on their resume, or something like that... And by major language, I mean at least 50 million speakers. Thanks for the answers so far. Portuguese and Arabic were two of my first guesses.

A. You do not need to major in something to take classes in it. Majoring in a language take a lot of work. It might seem like you have all the time in the world right now, but when you are 25 and finally done with all your bachelors, time is going to seem more precious.

A. If you want to get a computer to do something for you, you write a program. Half of the job is figuring out how to do the thing--what steps do you need to do? The other half is explaining it to the computer. That's what computer language is. When you learn programming you learn both of these skills. The figuring-out part is the hard part, the actual language is relatively simple. That's why you begin on a fairly easy language like BASIC (Beginner's All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) or Python. What you learn about programming you can then take with you to a 'real' language, like C. So you want to start out with a beginner's book on programming.

There are already tons of people who are bilingual with English and Spanish so I was thinking about maybe learning Mandarin Chinese or Hindi(India). What language do you think would be the most beneficial for gaining a top business job?

A. If you are steering away from Spanish, then I would suggest Mandarin - since International Business is Hong Kong. Don't bother with any Indian language because anyone educated over there can speak English better than both of us.

A. Apparently you speak English as well, so you have the top two covered. After that would be Russian, German, or French, then Italian and Dutch. Since you have the top two languages covered, try to figure out the country you would be most likely to do business in/with. I don't think it matters, except that Germans and the Dutch would probably be more likely to know English.

A. In my opinion, it's French. It is a very close language to Spanish, Portugese & Italian. It is easier to learn the other once you know one of these 4. In architecture, there are works of Le Corbusier (Modernism & International Style) still not translated in English. The father of deconstruction, Jacques Derrida is a french philosopher. "French is an official language of : France, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Canada, Madagascar, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Belgium, Rwanda, Haiti, Switzerland, Burundi, Togo, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Comoros, Djibouti, Luxembourg, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mauritius, Vanuatu, Seychelles."<-- easier to live & work since you… [cont.]
