Vince Green Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) The trouble with all these dead languages is that they are just that. How can you say "I am going to the supermarket to buy some deodorant" in any of them? Might as well just speak English, its a lot easier.

Tell that to the French, they don't use deodorant, so don't need a word for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripey999 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Learnt French at school and when I went to live in Italy for a while I got by in the beginning with my schoolboy French. Later, when visiting France, I got by with my then fluent Italian. Took colloquial exams in Italian but forgot a lot of it now. Went to live in Germany for a while too so learnt the lingo but again losing that. Like everyone, always learn enough for each country that I visit so that I don't embarrass myself too much!
