Predators and Prey

Try Russian then.

RASKATCHAEM ETOT MIR!

Ne nado, raskachali tak, chto dollar 75 rubley stoit, eto zhopa

 

[Keefur]

I'm off to fix some food.

To this day I still don't get why French is being taught as the second language in my university Foreign Languages major, I believe French lost its importance a long time ago. It should be German, because it still has relevance in the international world and its among the most spoken languages of the Internet.

I don't agree.
French is spoken in more countries than France, a lot of African countries are French speaking.

While German is only spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

French is a good langue to learn (and also spoken in the West of Switzerland ^^ )

Nothing worse than broken food

See you later.

 

[Thrashy]

Interestingly the Swedish Spelling is 'Krona' (I have an obsolete Swedish 1 Krona coin, it has a resale value of $6.48)

The German word would be 'Krone' ^^

 

[Thrashy]

I'll do that.

Ok

Oh, I do not really speak Russian, just some Song Titles I know ^^
There's another band, called Klinika. They're pretty nice too

Hopefully no skunk!

 

[TR273]

The German word would be 'Krone' ^^

And a quick check of the dictionary tells me that would be 'die Krone'

 

[Furrium]

Ok

I don’t listen to Russian rock, because it is in Russian. When you listen to a song in German, you don’t understand anything, that's why you feel good. You only understand the word Deutschland, but what is it, why, who cares? I know English, but I can’t translate anything when they speak quickly, so for me Eminem’s songs sound like a lecture on mathematics — nothing is clear, but somehow it’s interesting.

Yes

@Spilogale Pygmaea as a comparison:

This is a map with countries that have French as at least one of their official languages

Here's German (yellow = official language, blue = local minorities)

 

[FlannelFox]

This is a song from the Soviet Heavy Metal Band "Aria", and means "Let us Rock this world" ^^
The song is pretty good (the whole album "Igra S Ognom") is

I'm seeing an image of a man sitting alone in a smoky a room, a grungy apartment which he can no longer afford, a little drunk, a little high. What he's worked for, for so long, has just been taken under illegitimate means, but the authorities aren't on his side. He prepares himself psychologically for vigilante justice.

Sorry, guess I'm having fun with that

Well I would understand a Song in German ^^
(And I do listen to some German songs).

I don't care if I understand it or not, if I like it, I like it

I’m kind of the same, it’s the melody and the sound of the words rather than what is being said that gets me to listen to a song, (naturally I am listening to more German music to pick out works and work on my pronunciation.)

 

[FlannelFox]

Yes

You may be able to add part of Louisiana to that, knowing French would get you a long way in places speaking Creole wouldn't it?

Given my alternate fursona is a fossa ( and just because it fascinates me) I hope to one day visit Madagascar. French would come in handy! I'd also like to see some of East Africa while over there, since all flights from here route via South Africa or Mozambique. Ideally I hope to spend a month exploring; two weeks in Africa and two on the island. Need to save my pennies and prepare for a lot of immunizations! But the mix of cultures, wildlife and landscapes very much fascinates me. And I like a good deal of music I've heard from S. Africa.

 

[Thrashy]

Nothing to apologise at all, I love reading your interpretations!

The French map only shows countries where it's an official language ^^
I didn't find a similar one like the German map ^^

It probably would be way too hot there for me, as I don't like heat at all xD

I'm a winter skunk ^^

 

[Guifrog]

I hope everyone is doing all right. I heard that @Guifrog was attacked by a roving band of thug butterflies.

Yeah, they attempted to kidnap me and everything but it's all fine. I scared them with some slurp attacks and capoeira moves

 

[Furrium]

I have only 14 percent of the battery left on my tablet so I’ll go to sleep but keep a beautiful picture

Oh...it's actually not really overly hot there. In ways the climate is closer to being Mediterranean given how far south of the equator it is and the effects of the oceans. Temps in Madagascar are going to range from 55f to 85f, mostly. (farther north and inland in Africa would be warmer, at lower elevations but cooler in the mountain highlands)

So this part of the continent is a bit drier/cooler. Perhaps I'll even see a few Cheetahs on The Savannah. : )

Ah, 15 to 30 degrees in a normal measuring system
(Just kidding) ^^

I'm still not quite sure, while French is spoken in many African countries not many people are interested in them besides for business because of the rare metal production, and you can pretty much get away just fine in those countries with English and still being able to learn about their culture. French may be spoken in many places, but it is not relevant anymore. Now have a language conversation or ask anyone which language are they interested in, and German will come out immediately, but no French. Besides, German is a much more popular and interesting language, rooted in much of the European cultures. So my opinion is the same, it should be German.

Funny, huh? *makes plans for the Fossa to pay you a visit*

But the temps are pretty pleasant there: a range of 10c to 30c with it generally being about 22c as a high. So not too hot, not too cold. It's amazing how diverse climates in/around Africa can be...it's a much bigger, varied place than I'd first imagined.

Why not both?

Thanks @Thrashy for considering us the normal and most civilized folks.

 

[Pygmepatl]

Why not both?

That's what I've been thinking of, but if I had to take priority into account, I would reverse the the system so instead of French being taught as the second language in the Foreign Languages major and German as an optional extracurricular language, German would be first and then French.
