Hence why I hated French class so much. My teacher was lovely, I (somehow) got good grades, but the subject itself did my head in. I've pretty much regretted picking French over German since my first French class. I can't really blame anyone; I was only 10 or 11 when I was asked to choose.

We had no choice. We had to take English and I took French as a 3rd language. And we had 3 foreign languages for 2 years. (Ages ago)

Each year my school rotated which language all students would study and then the students could choose between the remaining two. When it was my turn, we had to do Japanese and chose between French and German. If by chance we had to do German, I probably would have picked Japanese considering I had already touched on the subject in primary school.

I can't imagine spelling would be such a problem in too many other languages. Curse the English language!

As far as I know the English language is logical. Atleast to my dyslectic brain. Wich makes it easier for me to actually write it down without mistakes.

Trust me, it is.

I just say e.g. voorkomen.
And Nemesiss might agree here.

I agree on the fact that there are a lot of word in Dutch that can have multiple meanings (and depending on what part of the country you're from pronounced a bit different), but voorkomen in either meaning is still written down the same way. That spelling won't change.
My frustration is not picking the wrong word or even having the meaning wrong. It's with the spelling.
U instead of you
mixing up your and you're. (or worse: ur)

Does it even make sense??? I'm starting to get lost in my own brain here.

Heh.

"Hello class, these are the rules for writing in the English language...except for this...and this...and this...and this...and this...and because this word is derived from the Greek word blargh we use this instead of that...UNDERSTAND?"

It was the same for me.
Dutch and English was mandatory and then we had to pick either French or German. I took French. Don't know why?

I had this discussion recently with my mother, asking why I picked French over German. Turns out she did German in school (which I already knew...she remembered 'eins', 'zwei', 'drei' and 'kaputt'), but she hated it, so I guess that was my entire influence. Oh well.

It's weird. My grandmother (can't really remember her as she died when I was 4) actually was part German. So that should have made German the more logical choise. :confused:
