About Daniel Postlethwaite
I study Film & TV Screenwriting with Creative Writing at the University of Central Lancashire. My three part plan is to move to Manchester next year, get a job in some media related position, then eventually move on up to London and from their go to New York or LA when I've got a tonne of experience. I have had four poems published by ForwardPress and I have had a short story based upon the first day at University published in the local paper. I am always looking for more competitions etc, if you know of any let me know.
Hahaha! This made me laugh :’)
Glad to share the joy
Since English is the most difficult language to learn.. I’m glad to have learned it at a young age. — Now, I’m finding it difficult to learn other languages.
I don’t know any language other than English unfortunately
I wish I could speak another one though, I should have paid more attention in school xD
Well, they’re still available if you ever find that you have the time and the patience to learn something new. Just be sure to stick with one for the time being; it’s hard enough without confusing yourself with the rules and such of another at the same time.
Yeah definitely, I want to learn either Japanese or Spanish (:
Japanese is a very interesting language. I’d learn it for the women alone; which is why I haven’t bothered. French, German, and (less likely) Italian have attracted my attention over the years. Languages of romanticism. I think it would be very interesting to speak more than one language fluently. Still waiting for that day to arrive.
Start out slow with either of them and build up a friendship with those who fluently speak it. Learn all that you’re able, surround yourself with the language, listen to music and the like, and I’m sure you’ll be speaking it in no time.
I never thought of listening to music in the language! I guess that’s actually a realllly good idea haha.
Yeah Japanese is interesting, I think the reason I want to learn it so much is because I really want to visit there and I would feel so out of my depth being so far away from home and not knowing the language. At least in another EU country there will be a higher percentage of English speakers in the main city. Or at least I think there would be.
No matter what country you visit, English will be spoken in some area or another, to some degree. English is basically a universal language.
then you have words that are similarly spelled, but sound very different, and vice versa like: though, tough, bluff, through, threw, throw, thorough, borrow etc.
I feel bad for anyone who has to learn English, which is a lot of people haha
Amazing! Never thought about it that way! What a strange language English really is, but it’s the only one I know quite well!
It is a strange strange language indeed but I’m glad I know it from birth lol, considering there are a lot of English speaking countries in the world it’s such a great universal language
Doing these kind of things on my writing blog right now. I can’t even imagine trying to learn English as a second language!
