It isn't an expensive one, it's my first bass and I'm not really rich
Around the 150 euro. But the sound is great and it looks cool, so I don't think the price really matters.

But one day, when I'm rich, I'm going to buy the most beautiful and best-sounding bass I can find, an expansive bass.

Yeah, welcome to the forums!

The grammar nazi... that would be me.

In that case, the grammar Führer is Pippynip. Seriously.

We must remember that English was not everyone's first language.

Exactly, people should respect that some of us are from Norway, Holland or the US.

It may surprise everyone to know that I don't really give a shit about grammar.

Both of those posts have perfect grammar^^

It does seem people from Netherlands and Scandinavia speak better English than us, also I prefer the accent.

The accent untrained Dutch speakers of English have is just horrible. You can't discern 'bat' from 'bet', 'bed', or 'bad'.

A guy I knew once described my accent as sounding exactly the same as one of the penguins from "Madagaskar", and he was a Polish Latvian from Vietnam.

ooo I wonder which one. Although the voices will be different in polish/estonian or whatever

Btw, do any of you american people learn foreign langauges in school? was is compulsory too or is it a choice.

Nah, he meant the English voices.

I'm not currently in a foreign language class but it is necessary. I know at my school anyways we have to take at least 2 years of a foreign language. And we can choose which language we want to do, of course.

What options are there? im curious

Technically anything. But it depends on the school. If the school has access to a Japanese teacher then you can take Japanese. If your school only has a Spanish teacher, then you have to take Spanish. Etc.

In Canada you must take one year of French in highschool. After that anything is fair game depending on teacher accesibility. My school has Italian and French classes while some have Japanese or Spanish. However very few people continue to lean French or anyother languag due to the poor teaching ability most of our second language teachers possess.

There's a joke, that goes like this:
- What do you call someone who speaks two languages?
- Bilingual.
- What do you call someone who speaks three languages?
- Trilingual.
- What do you call someone who speaks only one language?
- Eh, monolingual?
- Wrong! An american!

I know a decent amount of French and some German. Ive forgotten most of the Welsh I learned as I took the exam about 2 years ago.

Same here. I also speak a mouthful of Japanese and am able to reasonably translate a Latin text, provided I have a dictionary handy.

I really want to take Russian language classes. I only speak English and a couple of French words. Like 'petit' and 'boulangerie'.

i can speak english and german and am learning french at school
it love to do russian though
Their accent is just smexy XD
