That's a lot better than most Americans. The vast majority of Americans are unable to learn any additional languages in school. Some can't even learn English properly.

@smartwarlord german was my better language passed with an average of 80% (writing again least with 60%, but audio and reading were 96% already in highschool). grinn french i dropped after two years, it was dreadful, more a beta and fact spongue then a language girl

[heleendr]

@smartwarlord ;) exactly, but even when taught a second or third tongue they will (in most cases) never sound or look native. my english passively is about 95% (understanding both reading as audio), speaking its about 70%, writing was about 35% (never got the hang of grammar), nowadays when concentrated, people say its around pre graduate highschool level (here that would mean a passing grade of about 75%).

"Well i think my English beats your Dutch"

By default of course, if I spoke Navajo the same would be the case. I have never met someone who spoke Dutch, I have not yet been to the Nederlands, and they don't teach Dutch in schools here. So how on Earth would I learn Dutch or even want to? Especially when, as you make clear - you Dutchmen learn English so we Americans don't have to learn your tongue.

Were you better in French or German? or did you only take English?

@smartwarlord

well i think my english beats your dutch, some people are not native english.. and about 15 years ago i just managed to get a passinggrade in highschool. so yes my english is not as good as that of many others.. yet in this case its because i didn't check spelling and or translations. here in holland there are two ways to refer to judaism : jodendom en judaisme... first one refers to the people and translated that indeed is not jewism, but jewry. judism refers to their believe

@heleendr

Your English is really bad.... I was not going to say anything but you sound like a child. It's not "Jewism" it is Judaism. (ie, the beliefs of Judah/Israel)

The "remarkable similarities" you speak of are not remarkable if you claim that that all religions share parallels. That would make it NORMAL to see these.

[heleendr]

@smartwarlord even Darwinism (so evolution and not religious) shows the same patern as the story of the origine of the world according to the bible... darkness, light, water, land, plants, animals, human etc.. when comparing the both they even can be 'believed' next to each other, cause the bible even mentions that one day to god can be like millions (?) to mankind.

so shared stories or thoughts do not immediately indicate the are the same or close.. the more in common the more close we are

[heleendr]

@smartwarlord the common origine lays to far apart to say they are the same.. they refer to the same thing, yes. jewism (?) split earlier.. but if you go deeply into theology and church history, then you can even say that all religiion do have the same origine. all world religion show remarkable simalarities. check for instance all religions on the origine of the earth. almost all well tell a story about land created afterr water or from water.

@heleendr

Catholicism and Christianity literally refer to the same thing. The way to distinguish between groups is where their authority/governing body is. Hence the terms "Roman Catholic or "Russian Orthodox" or "Southern Baptist".
