web English is losing its status as the universal language of the Internet

[Ghazi]

Every one can be allowed to post in the language of their own choice but it make things harder for every one. People who are not under the constant pressure of using English for education purposes do not feel the need to learn it.

Though it wold be fun to learn other languages as well as cultures

Lets not get into this  as the rules don't allow me too really . They say we have to focus on how were alike not different  and this topic focus on how we are different. I can tell you one thing though the translator don't work very  well for non English sites translated back to English and i read very well.

 

If you  ever tired  to use machine translated subtitles  you would understand  what i mean if you read English good.

 

If so then send me in message  

This is just a normal news article I don't see how it tries to show our differences, we ourselves already know that our native languages are different from one another.

Yup I did use them, unfortunately they suck at some languages

for the arabic language: i had to learn it & it was easy for me as some of my relatives are Arabes

for the german language: i was taking courses from the Goethe German Cultural Center

the most thing that helped me is the daily contact with different cultures & all kinds of medias

it's like using computers: you'll learn how to use it more faster if you really use it, not only study about it ,-)

practice is more efficient than theory ,-)

 

btw. i have 3 russian (1 ukrainian) friends too but we speak only english ,-)

[Ghazi]

@ jordan4x So have to find some one to learn German basically. Goethe Center has Different levels of tests. Is there a time frame like you have to study 6 months for A1 and 8 months for A2 etc. Can we give these exams without attending Goethe center or is it compulsory

every single thing costs something!

every study needs time. but you can learn german basics at home especially when you have time

watching some german tv channels can help too as you will understand a word in different contexts

i can't give you a straight answer as it depends on too much variables but in a nutshell, the contact with different cultures helped me a lot

[Ghazi]

@jordan4x Thanks a lot. Will be asking for your assistance in future as well. Please ask the Goethe Exams time line question from your teacher if you still go there to take classes.

The bottom line English is not  the just the  universal language of the  internet were  its typed.  its the universal spoken language as well . But really it should not be. Because there's just to many  Dialects of it. so even though you can find people  about anywhere that can speak it it don't mean we can understand each other  when we do. speak it.

 

There should evolve  a new language out of all languages  and that should be the universal spoken language . But we  don't live in a prefect world . And if some other universal language of the  internet evolves  it will just make it hard on everyone . If less people are using English on the internet it just shows  its just becoming more divided is all 45%  of its in English  and the other 55% is divided in all sorts of languages .

 

So still  English is universal language of the  internet  .  Maybe one day  the internet  will be were no one will be able to understand each other anymore  who knows

 

To be a new universal language everyone would have to agree about it and I don't  see that happening

Very interesting conversation. In my house 3 languages are spoken at any giving time English is the common one. When i visited this forum for the first time, I sensed that it was multi culture one just by the name of the user or the way to write the post. Personally I like it.

I'm so glad, that forums use one common language. I can learn others for my satisfaction, but to have one global language is a must. That way we can understand each other a lot better. And google translator sucks big time. If you want to chat in your own language, do it privately or in forums which use your language. I wish i spoke and wrote fluent Spanish, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, but it's not that easy. And as older you get, it's harder to learn.

Please respect others, speak forum language.

You can learn German with this Page:https://en.duolingo.com/

 

It is for free and i learned better English with this page.

 

P.S. I am from Germany and German has a lot of Rules in Writing and Speaking. Like TIme Forms.The word "The" has 3 forms for male,female and neutral persons and objects.
