They can set zero trade traiffs with the EU if they wish and provided the EU reciprocates. Wait and see how quickly Merkel will want to deal once the UK operates with WTO rules so you hope but facts are she wont,yes a few less VWs will be sold as the broke UK enters a recession as BIG companies move to yes youve guessed it the EU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Can speak thai pretty fluid and good. Has brought me good deals so far. Your statement: English is the International language , once you can speak English fluently , theres no need to learn any other language Is wrong and lazy. To learn several languages is good. English is an important Language, but not the only one. And if you can speak a little the language of your business partners, it is to your advantage. All people are proud of their origin, culture and language. The belief that English still dominates the world today is stupid. Take a look at switzerland. Most of the young people speak four languages (English, German, French, Italian). i can speak six languages (german, thai, english, italian, french, spanish) and a bit portuguese. So how many languages you can speak and understand? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 23 hours ago, rooster59 said: May had offered on Wednesday to resign if the deal passed, in a bid to win over eurosceptic rebels in her Conservative Party who support a more decisive break with the EU than the divorce her deal offers. So she'll resign if the deal is passed, but stays on if it isn't. And she keeps bringing it back and failing. Strange times we live in. Normally it would be the other way round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this if you want a bit of background. https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=394807.0 Today they call it specialist terminology. This specialist terminology often uses Latin terms, but often also words of Greek or ancient Greek origin. Specialized terminology allows for an exact naming of structures, problems, living beings (including pathogens, see biological nomenclature), bypassing possible misunderstandings due to regional or "national" language differences or various trivial names. If you gain practical experience as a medical doctor abroad (in any way whatsoever), you will be able to start there among colleagues, for example in a report, also with the Latin, anatomical specialist designations ...

dick dasterdly Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 How on earth did this thread turn into a debate on Latin etc.??? Seeing as we're way off topic anyway, I'll add my '2 cents' - English is the 'universal' second language everywhere thanks to the Americans! I too was taught Latin at school and it is useful as a 'background' language to european languages. Sadly, I can remember virtually nothing of it nowadays ☹️. Some people have a 'gift' for languages, and so can easily learn another. Others don't have this 'gift', and find it v. difficult to learn other languages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though English was the universal second language because we conquered half the world. Same reason Latin was the original universal language. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
