Stoatbringer posted:Well, that didn't take long. I'm sorry but they would expect British people to learn to speak their language from where they came from so why shouldn't they have to learn English if they come to live here? Inside their own home they can speak any language they want but when speaking to a British person they should speak English. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I just don't go to a restaurant again if the staff insist on speaking their mother tongue when they can speak English as it's just downright rude. As for holidays I find that most people speak excellent English and admire the fact they are bilingual. When I'm on holiday I always show respect for the culture and countries I visit. The only place I found this difficult to adhere to was America as they were loud and brash... but maybe that's just the part I visited.

I'd be happy if I could speak more than one language it's a great asset. However, I do find it rude when people, especially when I'm in a restaurant, speak in their mother tongue in front of you, it makes me feel uncomfortable as I'm not sure what they are saying? By all means celebrate if you're bilingual but have some consideration for those who are not.

On public transport, I find it rude when others don’t just speak their own language, but shout in their own language to each other, it really does make you feel uncomfortable. When we go to other countries on holidays you go their to take in the culture and try as much as you can to learn the language.

twoday posted:Well, as the IK/mini-mod of the Dutch thread one of my only policies was to crack down on people making fun of Flemish and Frisian and Afrikaans as languages, because some posters who speak those things said they felt harassed. Then someone made a post saying Frisian is not a real language (it is legally recognized as one of the two languages of the Netherlands), and I gave them a sixer. At this point you made a long sincere post about why this was wrong of me to do, and it ended with: i know that Americans love telling other people and cultures how to behave, but yes, i still stand by my statement that you, an American who has just recently learned dutch, are in no position to tell native dutch speakers what they are allowed to say about dutch as a language, no matter what nationality you are.

this whole situation is totally bizarre by the way. i have posted some bizarre daily mail posts here to show how crazy those brexiteer opinions are, and consequently i have to defend myself as if i wrote those posts because "i could have written them". this is insane.

therattle posted:That’s not what the article is saying. it’s correct that fear of immigrants has been exploited and that there is resentment. that resentment can’t be addressed and changed if it isn’t acknowledged. labour made the same mistake in the UK for a long time of dismissing fears and resentment about immigrants just as racism, which prevented it from properly grappling with those feelings and presenting a proper alternative argument. fears resentment about immigrants is literally racism op, hth

V.

marktheando posted:So newly qualified German teachers make more than some head teachers in the UK lmao those are salaries for fully qualified teachers at public secondary and primary schools. Fully qualified in this context also means German at C2 level. Teachers at (most) private schools make (much) less. Teachers at "language" schools (so not public and not an actual secondary or primary school) make next to nothing. oliwan has issued a correction as of 16:43 on Mar 1, 2020 |

marktheando posted:When you say next to nothing, do you mean by German standards or UK ones haha. I'm not sure if we mean the same thing talking about English language shoots, my friend said there are international schools where all the teaching is in English. I'm a Dutch living in Berlin op, Germany is most definitely not "my country", although Berlin is my city Yeah, I thought you were talking about English language schools in the sense of private institutions where you can learn the English language. Teachers make nothing at those and the are basically all "freelancers". There are indeed international schools where the teaching is in English, but those are all private institutions and you will make less than at a public school, especially in the beginning... but maybe still more than in the UK. I don't know about the rest of Germany, but there are a couple of international schools in Berlin, but its not easy to get a job there
