Actually, i'd admire that about the whole living in finnish and forced to learn swedish thing, must got some masterful learning skills to fit it the situation Never said it's a bad thing to learn more than one language. Heck, I can speak both English and German (the latter not so well unfortunately). It's the fact that you have to learn such a horrible language as Swedish - it's about as horrible as my own language. 0 Share this post Link to post

The pronounciation is absofuckinglutely terrible and you can hear that whenever a Swede speaks English - just like my own language. And German kicks arse. 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted May 16, 2002 ah that just depends on one's capibilities of learning and need time to get used to it 0 Share this post Link to post

Didn't stop me from failing English in my high school finals though :P Stupid Great Gatsby, Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman... what relevance do those books/plays have to Australian culture? Here's an answer: NONE. gn00!!! Those are CLASSICS, my man! They defy the artificial boundaries of land and sea... heh, those are Aerican and it's called English Lit. So Australia? See teh pattern here? 0 Share this post Link to post

Mithrandir Posted May 17, 2002 Over here in England we have GCSE's as well. It sucks. These last couple of years have been the best of my life I think. And now it's all over. My life will never be the same again. Plus I have bigass exams coming up, and i've gotta do well, coz if I do, I get real Jamaican cigar leaf and tobacco, specially imported. I think I'm gonna fail 3 of them but do really well on the others, but unfortunately that just doesn't look very good, having three fails. So I'm having to work my balls off if I want that good shit. 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted May 18, 2002 Sure, pritch those books may be classics, one problem, he's right, they have no relevance to aussie culture. Yet we are forced to study shit like that, hell especially in most of my classes, work was based on american or british stuff, we learn everything about everywhere else but jack about THE COUNTRY WE ACTUALLY FUCKING LIVE IN! :@ And on the other end, other countries (Ok, I'm only assuming here) learn all about their country but never about australia. Ask a foreigner about australia and they'll say, either (a) Thats the country with those ski slopes isn't it? (b) ah, the place with kangaroo's (c) THE CROCIDILE HUNTER! THATS HIS PLACE (or, the CrocoDummy in my opinion) (d) what?. On the other hand ask an australian about america and they'll know 75% of the freakin questions. :@. *Baz stops ranting. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted May 18, 2002 We don't learn too damn much about our own country here either. That's because we're expected to find out about our own country on our own - we live in our country, so we're free to go out and explore it ourselves. 0 Share this post Link to post

To me, nothing takes out the joy of your birthday than knowing that you've got plenty of boring reading to do to prepare for an exam. 0 Share this post Link to post
