[sedative]

Spanish, Nihonggo, Bahasa

[multisarap]

i had spanish in highschool and in the first two years in college... our batch was the last to receive mandatory spanish lessons

[mrxtacy2003]

Mandarin during my elementary and HS years..

 

Cantonese when i was assigned in Hong Kong

 

Fookien when i got married c/o my wife, sis-in-law, father-in-law, grandmother-in-law and all other in-laws i had and had not seen before and during our wedding whew!.

 

effects... I could still remember a few mandarin words and can utter a few sentence enough to converse with...

 

Cantonese... yup.. still could converse on it... thanks to 3 years in Hong Kong...

 

Fookien, now ever heard of learning with pressure. Still struggling in this area even if i had been learning for almost 3 years.

[Yuex]

I our school? nah, no course actually offered any Foreign language.....

but taught myself japanese and am currently learning French

[grotesque]

took up 12 units of spanish language.

la na ngayon

[consiglieri]

Espanol...

 

i sucked though...

[Magaling]

Diga me.

 

Estudié español en secundaria escuela y en colegio y lo utilicé a veces hablar a mis abuelos en español cuando él todavía estaba vivo. Ahora, carezco práctica. Puedo haber leído inmóvil y escribir en español. Pero cuando hablo y escucho, tiendo "pienso" en inglés y lo traduzco mentalmente en español o viceversa.

 

Seré feliz si cualquier persona aquí puede practicar con mí.

[tygerius]

espanol

 

yo tengo hombre

estoy perdido

que horror!

[xreytd]

took up spanish in college...that didnt work... que horror!

 

took up short courses in french...that didnt work either..

[UNDergroundX]

Took up Chinese Mother Tongue in Singapore while i was studying there for Secondary School, will never forget it as i always fail or either just pass in all the tests.

 

In the end took up Chinese Sylabbus B as well just in case for my o level results to be good. Passed it but Chinese Syllabus A will never be forgotten

[renaultmsc]

i took Spanish for a year when i was in HS...elective...pretty cool

[Equus]

anyone out there interested in this sstuff? its actually a great read and the daily applications is phenomenal...

[belisarius]

what's the difference between relativistic and non-relativistic quantum mechanics?

[devil_lance]

Trying out French now, online tutorial, wish me luck

[QTkolehiyala]

currently takin up mandarin... anhrap...

[leloup]

French, at Alliance Francaise. Did it for a year.

[chipmaker]

took six units of japanese during college.

 

currently studying putonghua

[pussycatdoll]

german and spanish for my european language requirements, but i haven't been able to retain much of either except for the basics, i.e. guten tag, guten morgen, como esta... you get the picture.

 

strangely enough, i've managed to retain more french that either of the abovementioned languages, thanks to most of my barkada opting for the french elective and practicing it in front of me all day. most of the stuff i've retained wouldn't make sense in casual conversation, though. hahaha!

Your lolos and lolas spoke spanish? cool man. Pero bakit kailangang i-tinatranslate mo pa sa iyong isipan ang mga words, pagnagsasalita or nakikinig ka? di ba pede diretso?

 

Magiging masaya nga sana kung may makakausap para makapag-sanay ano? :headsetsmiley:

[Reno]

French, at Alliance Francaise. Did it for a year.

 

A bon? C’est vraiment intéressant à parler en française, ne c'est pas?

 

Si je peut vous demande, Qui est votre prof à Alliance? J’ai connu beaucoup de prof labas.

 

De quand a quand avez-vous assiste a Alliance?

 

C'est vraiment aussi intéressant si on peut raconter ici, gens qui a appris la française et a s’exercer avec eux. :thumbsupsmiley:

[Sir Galahad®]

Japanese.... well it was when I was working when they enrolled us.... Before sending us to Japan... I can read, write and speak... but lack practice now

[baccaratboy]

Mandarin !!!!

[Reno]

Any french speaker who want to put up a study conversation practice group?

Basic, intermediate, or Advance.

Nabasa ko lang sa isang science journal... pls express your thoughts after reading bout this.

 

Matter and the Void

 

Everything that exists,including us sentient

beings,is only a void,that has no material essence

whatsoever.

 

For matter,is just a three dimensional effect of the

void;and sentient material existence is nothing more

than an awareness,that feels the effect of the

void,that takes a material form of color,and shape,by

the deductive foreign mind of the first attention,in a

three dimensional space,and time.

 

Matter,as science defined it,is made up of atoms;

and these atoms are composed of protons,neutrons,and

electrons;the nucleus of the atom comprises the

proton,and the neutron,which is surrounded by rotating

electrons.

 

Molecules are made up of atoms,joined by the bond

between the electrons;the molecule of water,for

example,is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms,and 1 oxygen

atom;a drop of water is made up of millions of

combined water molecules;any body of water is

comprised of millions of water drops.

 

Suppose now that we travel deep into the atom,and

view it from the inside;the atom would look like

something,that resembles the solar system:the sun

being the nucleus,and the planets,that are rotating

around it,being the electrons.

 

If we measure the volume of the space,that the solar

system occupies,and compare this volume with the

actual volume of the sun and its 9 planets,the ratio

would be,something like 1 : 1000000.

 

The majority of this solar space would be a void,

which comprises about 99 percent of this volume.

 

Now if we take a water molecule,and measure its

volume,it would be like measuring the space,that the

sun occupies with its two nearest stars.

 

After comparing the volume of this space,with the

actual volume of the sun,and these two stars,we would

get a ratio of much more than 1 :1000000000 .

 

The majority of the volume,would be a void,which

comprises about 99 percent or more.

 

If we take a drop of water,and compare its volume

with the volume of the atoms,that comprise the drop of

water,this would be like comparing the volume of the

space, that the milky way galaxy occupies with the

volume of all the stars,that comprises this galaxy.

 

In this case,the ratio would be extremely more than

1:1000000000000,and the void forms about 99.5 percent.

 

Now,if we take the Atlantic Ocean and compare its

volume with the volume of the corrosponding atoms,the

comparison would cover the whole universe,with all the

stars in all the 12000000000 galaxies .

 

The ratio would jump to 1 versus an infinite number;

the majority of the volume would be about 99.9 percent

of void this time.

 

Now,if we try to analyze this 1% of the supposed

material volume,the trip would take us,still further

into the depth of the atom, into where the nucleus

lies.

 

By travelling into the nucleus,and take the

proton,for example,and compare the volume of this

proton,with the volume of its components the

quarks,the ratio would be something comparable to what

has been presented up to now in this analysis; the

proton would also comprise a 99 percent of void too.

 

And if we go still deeper,and analyze the quarks in

turn,we would get the same result;the quark would form

more than 99 percent of void also.

 

If we go still to a much deeper level,and reach an

infinitesimal dimension,we would find out,that matter

doesn't exist in the first place.

 

And in analyzing the neutron and the electron in the

same deductive method,we would be more convinced than

ever,that what really exist is only a void,and that

matter,is only an effect of the flux of energy of this

void,which is but one infinite whole, comprised of no

other part, but itself,and that everything that

exists,is just part of the flux of energy of this

infinite void;and the flux is none other than the

infinite field of energy of the circle of light,that

comprises an infinite number of

infinitesimal points of awareness attached to that

infinite flux of live energy.

 

This void and its flux of energy,has no description

in the deductive foreign mind of the first attention;

for who can pinpoint the void and give it a reasonable

and sound description?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
