Thanks! I can say English is a second mother language for me, as I basically grew up studying it and had always contact with it more or less! No problem, but what exactly would be the Tschöamen? German? That would make sense cause I know my German writing skills at the moment are not that developed unfortunately. I learnt the language at MERKUR in 4 years until now, you could tell I've learn that mostly orally, as I speak better than I write obviously. You have no clue how much time I need to get to write a longer post in German here! But how did you come about to learn English and what other languages do you speak yourself? You also speak English really good!

I am going to buy some beer (1950)
I'm gonna buy some beer (1980)
Amana buy some beer (2010)
Burp! (2040)

Cheers! I found this to be funny! You gotta love the last language development sentence! A short, but damn clear statement!

Actually, that's a good example of language abbreviation! Mind you, I came from Romania and some words in Romanian language which are consider to be abbreviation after more frequently the younger people used them in the informal communication ways, some happen to actually have more characters than the longer version of the words.

Yes, accents and dialects just bring colours to a certain language and it can be even more interesting to explore the pleasure of communicating in the same language in several ways, but also it can be interesting to start to actually learn new stuff related to a language you thought you knew so good! There are times where people do speak the same language, but it might happen that you don't understand them because of their different way of communicating. It would be warm and interesting to learn extra, new things about a language you already know!
