Blog Parade The language can take its course?
In many countries, making politicians, linguists and other people thought about language. Lately I've noticed that more and more countries, the loss of one's own language is discussed. Not infrequently, then trying with the help of laws to fight interventions in school systems, events or other actions against it.
Language never stands still, always have been and will always remain so. But it is clear that it probably went faster and faster lately with the changes. But now to the actual topic. In this blog carnival that is it takes me wonder how it is to change the language. Here are some questions to which you can depend on. One can also easily describe his thoughts on the subject in another way.
- Does it bother you that your language is lost, by example, always use more English words?
- Do you think it makes sense to try to control the language of the development?
- Do you use even words in other languages you could also use German on about?
- Are there other ways to preserve their own language, without standing in the way of development?
- Do you think language is one of just let her run and easily adapt?
I look forward to your participation. My "answers" to questions will be available in the coming days.
Who wants to join the blog parade was that by 22 September 2010 make. Subsequent contributions can not be considered in the evaluation.
DIX better for Spanish
When it comes to English I am going for a long time of Leo to Dict.cc switched. For Spanish , I'm still up here yesterday. But once again I could not find words for 2-3 hours or no ridiculous translations, which drove me to find another German-Spanish dictionary.
I've found the page DIX (dix.osola.com). Overall, this dictionary has but only about 274,000 entries. These seem to me but to be superior to that of Leo. Above all, there are useful examples of what I miss most at Leo. Very beautiful is of course that you can fill in the verbs, not only in the basic form and still get good results.
So, better use of Spanish DIX.

Learn languages - Spanish
The fact that the Spanish language is so widespread in the world, of course, have very encouraging origin. The indigenous peoples of Central and South America has been forced upon the language, together with Christianity. For us and possibly also for some of these countries this has now of course the advantage that we learn a language - Spanish. And there we have the opportunity to travel to 20 countries worldwide.
Spanish is my opinion also a very beautiful language and it is worthwhile in any case to learn this.
That is why you should learn Spanish:
- Ca. 350 million people have Spanish as their mother tongue
- About 500 million people speak Spanish in total
- In Germany, 2.7 million people speak Spanish
- Spanish is the official language in 20 countries
- In the U.S. there are more Spanish speaking people than in Spain
- With Equatorial Guinea, there is even an African country where Spanish is spoken
- Spanish is used with several other languages, making the learning of Portuguese or Italian as easily later
- Spanish is a world language
- Spanish is a beautiful language
- Spanish rocks!
The scene languages Wiki - Today we speak different
Language never stands still. Every language is changing again and again. Continuously actually. Not only when new things are invented, there are also new words. But especially young people, the language change very change by inventing new words or existing.
create some of the words it means to spread widely and in some cases even permanently replace the original word. The scene of the languages Wiki Duden Verlag Bibliographisches Institut AG, in cooperation with a website for new words has brought online. In this wiki, users can submit comments on both the existing entries and add your own words.
Here's an example: duck skin - also called goose bumps. Mostly by a cold but also by emotions caused by the autonomic nervous system controlled contraction of Haarbalgmuskels, so that the hair follicles on the skin's surface rises and straightens the hair. Source: Languages scene Wiki

Do you understand German?
Who once a time as I live abroad, the notes may be that he speaks his own language while, but it really does not understand. By understanding is meant to function naturally.
Of course I know and you know also that it does that, not the horse or the horse. But why is this so?
I have learned here in Costa Rica several friends, the German. This, of course, always questions about our language. And quite honestly ... I though they can always help, but can never justify my statements.
Why it is called in the car and not in the car? I do not know. For me it is just clear. Of course, I also have learned the whole time at school. But honestly, that's a while ago
So now I am helping my friends a little more intense while trying not itself something of my own language learning.
