Just look into Japan, they have subbed movies, they have dual channel movies on TV (english/japanese) and they really struggle and fight with even basic english. why? because it is too different to their own language ... OTH you might be right for european countries, I always think eg Scandinavian countries are far superior in english because they see, watch everything in english on TV, etc ... and I see it on myself, if I wouldn't have started watching movies in english and reading books in english I think I would be the same "no inglisch heare" ignorant like a lot of my friends in Austria are ... adding a second thought to Japanese, they all WANT to learn japanese desperatly ... its just horrible difficult for them, weather a lot of austrians are not even interested in doing so ... "english? why? I don't need it ..." ... ignorants ... - -- Clemens Schwaighofer - IT Engineer & System Administration ========================================================== Tequila Japan, 6-17-2 Ginza Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8167, JAPAN Tel: +81-(0)3-3545-7703 Fax: +81-(0)3-3545-7343 http://www.tequila.jp ========================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/MvZjjBz/yQjBxz8RAnrHAJ959gUv99zTMVVWAH6o85T8nxtsHQCgwlRD 3V+ydjzLBLbiA+z/QzdRxZ0= =fGyM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
