G.W. Bush hasn't been to school so why should Sandy...?
Wants to Learn French
No Caspian, wrong again. I meant what I said. Why didn't you get it? Are there more errors? Or do you just refuse to comprehend?
I've lived most of my life in a country other than the USA. However, for reasons I don't have to discuss here, I am now permanently living in the USA, (though physically I'm in France at this very moment).

If you live in France ask people there, they may be able to tell you where to learn French.
He can't ask the French where to learn French 'cause he don't speak French.
<<I didn't lie, you idiots. I am from the USA but English isn't my mother tong. Shouldn't be very uncommon. >>
"Shouldn't be very uncommon"??? If you knew anything about the US you would know that IS very uncommon.
What a ridiculous thing to say.

That's fine Sandy... but that means you're not actually from the USA. If I, an Englishman, went to live in America, it wouldn't make me American. I'd still be from England.
you're an american if you feel like being one...like being a football fan...
just like this comment on youtube...
"You know, being Russian is something that is not written in your passport. If you understand what I mean."

"Schwarzenegger is an Austrian"
That's so naive. Schwarzenegger has been an American over 40 years.

He's American now, but he's not a native American. He's a naturalized citizen.
He's an Austrian-American.

He's an Austrian-American.
Right, so he came to America and got given a piece of paper. Fine. But he was born and raised in Austria, with Austrian parents, speaks German natively (a dialect called Styrian), not English and astoundingly still has a rather noticeable accent after these 40 years. So in my books, he's still Austrian.
He is very understandable in English, but usually German speakers are-even those with a noticeable accent. I don't hear people complain that Germans talk "too fast", something Anglophones commonly complain about when talking about speakers of Romance languages.
(It's just a sign that they haven't listened to enough speakers. Sure, some people do talk fast, just like in English, but not everyone is on a brzi vlak or whatever they say in Serbo-Croatian. I thought I'd throw that in because it's a fun way to say "fast train".)

Sandy,
There is a website for the Frenchpodclass. There were about 100 lessons on it today. I used to listen to it for their musical offerings and slang.
It would be more accurate to say that you live in the US instead of saying that you are from the USA, but I agree that it isn't necessary to go into detail. It was very nice of those posters who helped you with your grammar. It's a kind, not a mean thing to do. Please take it in the right spirit.
