Language Lesson

You need to research more about México.
Is a beautiful country, full of traditions and history, not everything is related to usa.
I'm sure you'll find it very interesting.
Greetings from México ^^

@Ahuizotl yup.. México is really beautiful country.. That's why many Americans go to cabo for vacation.. If trump said it's bad country.. Than sure there nice peoples...

Even the fish is laughing on the 2nd panel : D

@FrederickII cuz why not?

the barrier between Mexico and America... very nice and very subtle. what? i mean language barrier

Trump

@Apotato ....

@Apotato

@Apotato (lol ignore my useless replies with my old account) last panel

I speak danish without a potato. What is your superpower

Now stuff your mouth with kitchen sponges and say it backwards.
Perfect Finnish!

THIS WAS MADE IN 2010 HOW DID YOU KNOW BEFORE DONALD TRUMP

@ApplesRock About language barriers? Who knows.

@AussiePengwin
No, he means the wall on the Mexican border.
Not a remotely new idea, much older than Trump's campaign.
Abandoned by every single previous twit who thought to push it because:
1) it would be monstrously expensive, the equivalent of 20 Hoover Dams, and that is only just to build it, through mountains, across rivers, and right through the center of populated towns. And ever-after, it will still cost a fortune to man, and maintain; their great-great-grandchildren will still be paying for it long after the opportunistic politicians who pushed for it are finally dead.
2) The US cannot reasonably afford to build it: If you think the US national debt (currently $21.48 trillion and climbing every year) is shameful and frightening, this project will probably double it before the wall were even complete.
3) it wouldn't keep Mexicans out anyway (most arrive by plane in the current century).
4) It would actually continuously INCREASE the number of illegal immigrants living in the USA by making it harder for them to GO BACK HOME! (as more stringent boarder security already has. "If I leave the US, they won't let me back in again later, so I guess I'll stay here?")
5) almost 1/3 of the current US states (by land area, not by number of states; all in the southwest) are formally Mexico, so a very large % of these brown-skinned, Spanish-speaking folks never crossed a border to begin with; the boarder crossed them.
6) America needs their labour (seems every few decades the US government goes back and forth between inviting them in and trying to throw them back out).
7) Mexico's economy is actually quite healthy these days, and illegal immigration to the USA has never been lower.

Or if you want it much shorter:
A) It costs WAY more than the US can afford.
B) It wouldn't solve the problem anyway, &
C) The "problem" isn't much of one.

@Hinoron Oh, THAT American-Mexican barrier...

@Hinoron It's an insane idea that no Democrats, no Independents, and very few Republicans support! Trump only wants it because he knows he promised his cult followers a wall, and he can't ever admit that he was wrong.

@ApplesRock Damn I didn't catch that joke, thanks for pointing it out... Btw mexico looks gorgeous, why would you want to keep her out ? :o

@Isdaril It’s not her, it’s the others.

I only read through 5pages of comments so I'm not sure if anyone else has tried this,
but you can enter the name of the dessert into google translate (Rødgrød Med Fløde)
and listen to it pronounced.

Swedish & Finish were the easiest for me (an exclusively american-english speaker) to parse...
It's not that the words were familiar to english at all, but I could
easily detect the breaks between words. Of the two, Finnish seemed harsher.. rougher.
I do hear the "singing" quality of Norweigian ... it feels a little "softer" than Danish to me..
Danish was the most difficult to follow but I consider it more beautiful than the other languages...
the vocal equivalent of cursive writing instead of printing letters... it flows and feels more expressive.

I have to try out a receipe for Danish berry pudding now!

Mange Tak Humon

For some reason I'm shocked that Canada wasn't eating pancakes

@Ouran-After-High Yeah, why isn't Canada eating pancakes?

@Canadian-Girl Why is America eating pancakes instead?

@Ouran-After-High Yeah! America stole Canada's breakfast and now Canada has to eat porridge!

@Canadian-Girl That's what I thought, that would explain another reason why Canada is unhappy with America

@Ouran-After-High Canada cannot eat pancakes without the maple syrup.

@NothingImportant pancakes without maple syrup should be illegal

I always thought Swedish sounds more like singing. And Norwegian sounds so flat. But I know that feeling, all Germans I met always said, Swiss-German sounds like having a throat disease. XD

@OneSwissMore Don't get me wrong, I love schwiizerdütsch and love speaking it. But well, us romands think that swiss-german sounds like you have some rocks in your mouth while speaking, because of all the /ch/ sounds xD

@Tibochapo Hahahaha, don't worry, I already heard that! XD And I kinda see why... It really is harsh, right? So, you have the permission to keep on saying that! ^^

@OneSwissMore It's a hell of a language to learn. I learned it pretty quickly once I knew how to change words from high german, but yeah the basis took me a bit to learn.
On the counterpart, french has more exceptions than rules... I guess we can call it even

@Tibochapo Oh wow, you LEARNED Swiss-German!? ^^ How does that work? How's the pronunciation for you? I think that French is really smooth and soft. Swiss-German on the contrary is ... just the opposite. I love it, but sometimes, I really just stand there and listen to the people around me and try to hear this language like a foreigner. And it often made me laugh. ^^ It has funny pronunciations, hard consonants and many /ch/s, just plainly interesting for me!
Oh yeah, French with its many Grammar rules and even more exceptions of their own rules made many of my classmates go crazy! XD I still love it. So hard and so fascinating at once, you really are lucky to grow up with it! ^^

@OneSwissMore Yep, I did LEARN it !
How it works ? Well, determination, I guess ? I wanted to, bc I thought it was fun, and so I started to join FB groups, read swiss-german things, and listen to music with the lyrics in SG. And I mean, once you know the basis of words, SG is a pretty easy language...
Pronounciation is quite easy, now. All those /ch/s never bothered me really, there are more complicated sounds in french, so I guess that's that ^^
And as you said, SG is a really funny language, that's why I wanted to learn it ! (And since I'm not bound to any dialect, I can switch between many and mix them up ! And that's the best, esp. when zürcher cringe when talk like a berner )
