I am Canadian, and only speak english (I was homeschooled through elementry and most of high school so I never took french...) I really love languages and learning cultures etc, I was wondering if in the commons there was ever a chance to learn languages since there are people from all over the world. That would be a great way to bond with the people and learn at the same time
There's a learning centre at every park for Cast Members where you can take out books, tapes, dvds etc.....you might be able to get some language specific learning stuff from there.....or else just get in with some of the 'non english as a first language' people and ask them to teach you!!! Spanish would be useful to know cos there's lots of Mexican guests.....I wish I spoke it better...and French!! Ellen x x x x
awesome! Can anyone give me more info on the learning centres...? That is a great thing to have. Leave it to Disney
I speak English and French fluently, and German almost fluently... I am currently learning Spanish (by working at Disneyland Paris and having a friend of mine speaking to me in Spanish). I really enjoy learning new languages !
Your roomies are a great resource for learning languages...or at least some words. I can wish you a Merry Christmas and say Good Night to my car in Norwegian. Shan
You know I believe there should be a subject for eache language where you can put most common words and sentences that the guests can ask such as: "Where are the toilets?" "Where is this attraction?" Left, Right, Straight ahead, Behind us, etc...
id love to learn a language - the only language related thing i can do is talk in an irish accent lol ill teach anyone that ;D
ok now i can do a bit of french - had to do it in school (4 1/2 years ago) but i can probaby say a few things still - some things jus stick dont they
I speak English and Norwegian fluently... So can teach you Norwegian... probably not the most popular choice as only 4,5 million speak it, and rougly 20 mill. understand it.... is also ugly... or so I'm told.... ;D
well im more than willing to give it a go - but please dont laugh to much when it all goes wrong lol ;D
Norwegian is fun and really basic. You can learn some basic norwegian in 3 months, hehe. Jeg er Marco og du har en bra rompe!
Well if you can teach me a few spanish words and write them on the board it would be nice... Working at DLP is teaching undirectly how to speak Spanish ! I've been wondering: does disney have classes with language teaching? Because here in the DLP, there are classes where you can learn different languages !
hehe, ja, marco, du slutter aldri å forbause oss med din eksepsjonelle norsk kunskap... men det er digg det da , at du kan litt, så vi kan kommunisere utenom engelsk ;D ;D yeah, it's very easy to learn... we had an exchange student once, and he learnt the whole language in about three months.... he was this super geek as well... but anyway... ;D
well, if anyone interested in chinese, italian or vietnamese just give me a shout ;D ...specially if you want to learn some italian bad words, soooo funny....could write a dictionary-thick book of ways to call someone who just stepped on your feet...LOL
might be able to teach you the odd welsh word or two, altho my knowledge is prettty, erm, basic, to say the least... I think Ble mae'r cwrw? (Where's my beer?) should get you by...
