Hi folks,
I learned English the usual way: School + personal use.
I had English courses at school. I never even took an intense course, but the language came so easy to me that I was good enough to read (and understand :P) English books. First I read simpler books - Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz - but later I dared to read classics like Shakespeare, Milton, Blake. I still prefer to read books in English if they were written in English originally.
And, of course, I used the language a lot on the web. With a hobby like astronomy you need to read a lot of English articles (or even books) if you want to stay updated, and in the Therion community English is the main language, too.
And that's about it. :)
Cheers!
Markus

So... there's no High Priest secret? No invocation? No secret wisdom from the darkness? Damn, I thought you had some interessant history behind your good English :ph34r:
:nanana:
Eya dear NTSMS fellows!!! The question is clear: how did you learn English? Some of you (a lot of you, in fact) have a very good English, even when it's not your mother language.
Thank you! :D
but my English level's is a lot better than only 2 years ago.
Really? haha, I remember chatting with you while I thought that you are a man. :D
What's your experience? Have you learnt English only in the school, for your own, it's your second languange... Tell us, please! B)

Elementary school (from 4th to 8th class) - I had good teacher and I learnd basics.
Highschool (4 years) - I had bad teacher and I did learn english at all, I was just learing some lessions I had to, but I was never preparing for tests. I guess I leand english in that period the most cause I got PC and I was playing many RPG and adventure games, and I was watching movies.
College (now) - I have english but I am not learining it. :D I spend much time online reading english sites, I am watching movies (without subtitles, cause I am too lazy to find some). But, I don't know how good I am at english. I mean I can understand alomost everything but I never really talk on english.
Since I am in the USA, I learned at home from my parents :)

In "Just For Fools and Horses",incle albert would say:
"During the war..."
1950...My grandmother was born in 1948
Spanish? :bawling:
[snapback]9692[/snapback]
It was only good to confuse it with Italian :wacko:
Don't worry, with your Romanian mother language I think you will learn Spanish very... errrr... not difficult (I don't know the word ) :c0857do: Ah! Easy! (don't laugh!)
I like languages very much too! Especially those weird and exotic ones (then you wonder why I like "Siren of the Woods" so much... :blush: ). I learned Latin for a while too, but the teacher sucked big time.

I agree!!
This is one more reason why I like Therion this much!

Ah...To understand Therion,you should know old hebrew,and some other ancient languages,ancient greek(name!!!),babilonian...
I had to learn English after seeing my owner chating on the internet. She did so many faults and I had to correct them all!. I gave up at the end and sent her to take som classes instead.

Well, Dark... it'd be quite difficult to learn all those languages (hard enough to learn modern hebrew, trust me), so if you want to understand the lyrics anyway, just check out the translations section
And according so the period, you can call "Babylonian language" simply Akkadian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language).

Hmmm, it seems Luth's cat is displaying some distinct anti-Luth tendencies. :blink:

Yeah me too. But I'd like it better well cooked and served with French Fries :iconmi77kl:
So we wan't kill her and eat her? :huh:
Maybe we should kill and eat Luth :ph34r:
[snapback]9756[/snapback]
Maybe we should kill and eat Luth, and let the little kitty watch. This would make the little kitty VERY happy. :evil:
....then we could kill and eat the little kitty (with fries and peppercorn sauce). :ph34r:
Eating the extra-power flowers (my secret weapon)

My husband knows ancient hebrew and ancient greek... :smilies_liebe016:
And he loves metal!
Husband? Metal? Ancient Hebrew?
Then kindly lure him over here (http://ntsms.megatherion.com/index.php?showtopic=448) and refuse to cook or kiss until he translated those lines! :D
Thanks in advance.

I already gave him that, he's trying but he asked if we had the text with the original hebrew letters... Anyway he's working :wub:

Yes, indeed it is. Tons of other topics where we can discuss how to eat Luthy
:ph34r: and her cat too. So everyone feel free to make your suggestions in the right topic :evil:
[snapback]10275[/snapback]
Look! Eresh has suddenly remembered she's a mod :afraid1:
There's only one thing for it.....
KILL HER!!!
...whilst at the same time explaining how we learned English - just so we stay on topic. :D

...and this is not the right thread for that age topic either ;)
So, open up an age topic if you wish :)
[snapback]10469[/snapback]
Conversations are allowed to evolve here! :P
Now we are on age, until someone wants to tell us about how they learned English. In fact, telling us to open another thread is far more OFF TOPIC

No, we are on English cuz that is the name of the topic. I know it is OT forum, but at least we gotta try and have this place in order the most we can.

You are certainly evil :unsure:
