Oh shoosh Traumgänger 
hey dark
Just got back from Bolivia and, feeling a bit jetlagged, thought I might pay a visit to “good old LD4all”. Of course languages have been quite an important topic to me over the last few months, so I had to contribute here.
Welcome back, Tapir! 
Did Lanina just call ‘german’ a weird european language?^^
I don’t know if English is your first language, but if it isn’t then you might be mistaken about some synonyms. English has borrowed words from both Germanic and Romance languages that look like they should be synonymous (and actually their dictionary entries might be identical), but will give very different meanings in context.
Haha, sorry. I actually think that english is wierd (at least the spelling) while german isn’t very wierd. But, if I would have called english a wierd language in the first post, then all the english speakers would be here and say “I do!” 
And thank you, Dark Matter.

Your name is on my lips.
Tonight is tender full of memories.
It´s all I have now.
But for the last time I´m feelin hold you in my arms
Say goodbye, Now I´m leaving.
I can´t stay another day.
I can´t share another feeling.
Love will tear us anyway.
Say goodbye, Now I´m leaving.
Save your tears oh don´t you cry.
All I take with me is greeting.
In the name of love goodbye.

(nek’ neko drugi kose ti ljubi, da tebe lakse prebolim)
Lane moje ovih dana (lane moje)
Vise i ne tugujem (lane moje)
Pitam samo da l’ si sama
Ljude koje ne cujem
Lane moje nocas kreni (lane moje)
Nije vazno bilo s kim
Nadji nekog nalik meni
Da te barem ne volim
Da te vise ne volim

Well, to me, since i’m english, most european languages are strange to me, but i know a little dutch…
I’d have to say that English is a weird language, even though it’s my first language. Ever since I started to learn french I’ve noticed how odd it is. For example, all the inter-changeable words, synonyms, etc. Like bass (the fish) and bass (the musical instrument) are spelled the same but pronounced differently, so if you didn’t know what context the word was in, you might not know how to pronounce it.
Sorry for the off topic rant 
English is the weirdest language of all. Nah, ok, Hungarian is weirder. (And that’s exactly why it’s one of the languages I want to learn the most. 
)
I want to learn a gaelic or Celtic language.
Anyone speak catalan? Or even heard of it? 
It’s a language spoken in the north east of spain, kinda like a mix between spanish and french. I’ve known how to speak and write it all my life but… holy bejeesus, the grammar is tough!
My uncle does, he’s part Catalan or something. I’m looking forward to learn it, more than Castelian if you ask me.
I’ve heard about catalan, I even think I’ve heard a song sung in that actually. It sounded a bit like a softer spanish.
I want to learn hungarian too. I’ve heard that it’s supposed to resemble finnish, but I haven’t found any real similarites yet.
But, I also want to learn romanian, japanese (reading it in school now), arabian, latin, norwegian (well, I understand it pretty well) and russian. I love different languages.
I’ve read on wikiedia that both Finn and Hungarian belong to the same language family. I think Finn would be interesting to learn, although I understand it’s a very difficult language.
Yes, but it’s very pretty. At least to me.
The grammar is diffucult, and very different to english, french or swedish. But, it is very easy to write, because it’s very logical in that way.
Hmm, I think here in germany catalan is more or less common knowledge (that it exists, not how to speak it).
I really would like to learn some eastern european language like polnish, hungarian, russian. Well, I would like to speak it, not to learn it…
I very much like the sound, more than the sound of suppousedly nice languages (french, spanish). However, that’s not enough to motivate me to learn it, so for now I’ll stick to practicing the very useful spanish.
In swiss there is “samish” (or whatever it’s written in english), that probably makes for the most weird european language (it’s older than latin and only few people still know to speak it).
About the synonyms:
Well, there are hardly any “perfect” synonyms, probably none. But yes, as a non-english speaker you get the impression that there are quite a lot of words coming from different languages that mean pretty much the same. When there are differences in certain contexes it makes it alle the more difficult. Though, still I am convinced that english is one of the easiest languages.
I was guessing he was Spanish… 
You want to learn almost the exact same languages that I do!
