You guys know that not all off us are from the states/uk, and we all don't speak English as our first language. So we have walked thro the pain of learning a new language at school, or perhaps some of us even enjoy the ability to study languages for fun at home.
Imma force you guys to learn a bit Finnish now, so this is
Finnish for beginners:
järki = reason, sense, intelligence
järjestää = organize
järjestelmä = organization
järjestelmällinen = organized
järjestelmällistyttää = organizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttää = unorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämätön = having unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyys = unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättomyydellä = with unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellään = with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänkö = is it with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköh än = I wonder if it is possible, with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköh änkään? = I wonder if it is possible, even with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
Share with us 1-O-1 of your native language! All the silly rules, grammar, etc.

Yeah... A lot have changed, but hey, even if I had started teaching you, you would prly know as much about my language as you do now. Imma crappy teacher.
But so that this would stay on topic, here is a poem to remind you about the words that need comma (,) before 'em!
Että, jotta, koska, kun,
jos, vaikka, rakastun!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Time to give you some German >: )
For the beginning I'll put obvious words here, that are "similar" to english words.
German - English:
Kindergarten - Kindergarten (I also think the Origin of this word is german)
The only difference here is how you pronounce it. We don't speak the "t" in this word as a "d".
Frosch - Frog
How you pronounce the "sch"? You can already to it, just how you use "sh" in an english word. See?, you did it. And the way we pronounce the "r" in correct german is always different than the english "r".
Musik - Music
The difference here is , like almost always, how we say it.
Now four words so you actually learn something.
Kino - Cinema
Spiel - Game
Holz - Wood
Getränk - Drink

Yeah... it's kind of a cliché sentence (an incorrect one btw.^^). You know, the cliché that all germans wear tight leather pants, eat a lot of sausages and drink a lot of beer?^^
I think I would kill myself if everyone in germany would wear tight leather pants and would always hold a sausage in the left and the beer in the right hand. Actually I don't even know ANYBODY who wears leather pants (except some girls in discos but I don't think it's any different from america in that case). :D

[COLOR=#333333]bönner - wtf, with all my brain I can't get this word right? :D What is it?
ok I was a little evil with this word, because bönner is not an actual word its just a more local dialect. It should be bönder(farmers), on other example is potatis(potatoes), in one dialect its potäter.

nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliaudavome - that's the longest Lithuanian word with the meaning "We didn't use to pick up any oxalis anymore". How cool is that! :)
