OK, so I’ve been planning to install Ubuntu for a while, right?
Well,hypotheticlly speaking of course, what if I chose a different language for my installation?
(I speak English)
I probably DON’T have the discipline for this, but IF I did, I thought there might be a TINY chance in a frozen hell (because we all know hell doesn’t freeze :D) that it might ACTUALLY make me learn it, somehow
OK, I know there is absolutely NO point for this, but what do you think of the idea?
Propably not a bad idea. Maybe you should try some software that you use most regularly (Blender:) ). Whatever you use, you won’t learn the complete language, but you should get a basic understanding.
If you know the software good enough, you will probably learn whatever part of the language the software uses rather well, but it’s generally single words.
Don’t think you will learn to speak the language but possibly you learn some basic reading skills.
And don’t choose a language with different latters like Hebrew, Russia or Japanese.
Sure you will go insane than.
Some of those languages use different type keyboards. Also even if you’re familiar with a second language, some of the modern computer jargon can be quite confusing in another language, and you won’t find it in the dictionary. You will get used to the new language, but it will take time.
I think that doing this along with using another course would be an interesting way to learn it. So you are learning the language through a course thing, but then you get to actually use some of what you learn regularly.
It is a language in its own rights, i can imagine trying to do something in linux in some other language.
Just goto the ubuntu forums… most of what they say is in english, but most english speaking people cant deyper the posts, becaause they are mixed with “Geek” and English…
Well anyways, learn Ubuntu lingo first… French or german will be a breeeze after that
Please excuse my sarcasem
I want to make some people smile today
we were down in the heart of mexico, and there was a PC we could use, so I sat down, and it was in spanish. Luckily it was Windows XP, so I could tell what the buttons were just from where they were positioned in the window and the icon. On the treadmill, yup, everything was spanish, but you could sorta tell by the heart icon or the sequence of questions…it just asked me age, and now this one is another numeric input, so it must be weight…
