Daifuku Bidermaier Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2014.02.17 00:37:00 - [1] - Quote So it happens that my gf is french, and after two years being with her and her friends, and going to France... i kinda feel like I really want to learn french. Of course my gf does understand gaming, I tell her the truth, this is like facebook but instead of being offensive with words we are offensive with turrets. Anyway she does not like when I play eve. So... what if I joing a french corp so i can practice my french? is it a dumb idea? I woudnt like to make people feel inconfortable with my lack of communication skills, on the other hand it sounds interesting.

Not a dumb idea at all and I wouldn't worry about them feeling uncomfortable. It'll be the other way around.
Hasikan Miallok Republic University Minmatar Republic 278	Posted - 2014.02.17 02:36:00 - [4] - Quote Be prepared for much amusement. I still vividly recall posting in a German game forum and trying to say "I only speak a little German" and having people crack up laughing and asking me why I it was that I was only insisting on only talking to midget Germans and what did I have against tall people.
Unsuccessful At Everything The Troll Bridge 10293	Posted - 2014.02.17 03:26:00 - [5] - Quote I join most English speaking corps to learn how to spell badly, not use punctuation, and use the incorrect form "there/their/theyre". *Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?*
DSpite Culhach 278	Posted - 2014.02.17 03:30:00 - [6] - Quote I'm learning Russian in order to infiltrate one of their corps. ... errr, how do you delete these posts anyway. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html
NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises 1430	Posted - 2014.02.17 04:12:00 - [7] - Quote Not a bad idea at all. When i started to play EVE i knew more or less no English at all (knew the basic terms like "how are you?" but thats as far as my knowledge went. After a few years with some very very patient corp members, Google translate, and some pretty hilarious misunderstandings along the way i can now be understood by most native English speakers both via chat and voice (even tho my accent still gives people trouble until they get used to it), and the amount of people that make fun of my English has gone down quite a bit The grammar is still causing trouble tho, but hey im trying Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles

I join to learn who has slept with my mom. I'm also sometimes confused about my own sexuality. Corp chat usually clears that up for me as well. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose.
Erotica 1 Krypteia Operations CODE. 3681	Posted - 2014.02.17 04:30:00 - [9] - Quote Better to safari a foreign language mining corp to learn all their curse words. See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.
Michael Ruckert Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 62	Posted - 2014.02.17 05:15:00 - [10] - Quote OP, join the French Foreign Legion corp. You learn French and get real pew pew with no TIDI.

Sibyyl University of Caille Gallente Federation 50	Posted - 2014.02.17 07:34:00 - [12] - Quote It sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure your girlfriend will appreciate the sort of French you learn in EVE ! /Fÿ¡
Tul Breetai Impromptu Asset Requisition Insurance Fraud. 678	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:52:00 - [13] - Quote how about joining a club to learn a foreign language ? There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.
Ptraci 3 R Corporation Boarderline Cartel 1771	Posted - 2014.02.17 13:02:00 - [14] - Quote Join a Russian corp, learn to "Blyat!" like the best of them. Also, vorp and boobles.
Treborr MintingtonJr Quantum Reality R n D Spaceship Samurai 169	Posted - 2014.02.17 14:15:00 - [15] - Quote I will admit its an interesting idea, what you could do is learn french outside of EvE then use teamspeak to practice what you have learnt. Also whip noise
Faenir Antollare University of Caille Gallente Federation 188	Posted - 2014.02.17 14:22:00 - [16] - Quote As an Englishman, it always embarrasses me just how fluent so many of my European peers are in English compared to how many of us English (me in particular) are fluent in other nation`s languages. I think itis a truly brilliant idea OP, I wish you well and hope you learn at least as much as you need too to be fluent in your partner's tongue +1
James Amril-Kesh 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 9051	Posted - 2014.02.17 14:27:00 - [17] - Quote It's not embarrassing. English is the de facto lingua franca. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron
Erotica 1 Krypteia Operations CODE. 3690	Posted - 2014.02.17 14:31:00 - [18] - Quote The other option is wardeccing them all, offering they join a nice English language corp and be assimilated. See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

I was in -A- for 2 months and learned a few Russian words. If i went to Russia and said them to people I'd probably be thrown in jail.

Karen Avioras Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 241	Posted - 2014.02.17 15:03:00 - [21] - Quote I got an A in english thanks to playing games, go for it.
Khergit Deserters Crom's Angels 2770	Posted - 2014.02.17 19:27:00 - [22] - Quote That's excellent. Learning a language is quick, when you have a practical need to communicate. You can't get much more practical than being under live fire from dangerous spaceships. Also, you can tell your girlfriend, "Oh, I wish I could, but right now I have to log in for my Francais lesson"!

In Australia you can get abused and insulted for speaking anything other than English on the public transport. Actually you can also get abused for speaking English too correctly. Apparently its unpatriotic :D
Laura Gallardo Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 16	Posted - 2014.02.17 23:14:00 - [24] - Quote It worked for me, i don't speak/write perfect on english, but i can handle myself. French will be much harder tho. Also, women don't change their minds about that kind of stuff, they want to change you, not the other way around ^^.
Mourn LeBlade Jupiter Roughriders 108	Posted - 2014.02.17 23:19:00 - [25] - Quote OK, so this is a long shot....but is there any corp. out there that speaks Klingon? I'm willing to learn. LTCOL LeBlade 177 Division Live Free or Die

Kappy Ukap K For Kill 7	Posted - 2014.02.19 23:35:00 - [27] - Quote But thing is would corporations accept you if you are still learning their language? I might actually think about this... I do find this an interesting idea in my opinion actually
Tsubodai Falang NEXT FRONTIER INITIATIVE Domino Industrial Group 6	Posted - 2014.02.20 02:04:00 - [28] - Quote I keep searching for a Thai corp but no luck so far
Angelica Dreamstar Epic Boo Bees 518	Posted - 2014.02.20 02:08:00 - [29] - Quote This is actually a brilliant idea and others I remember have proven that it works! - Join the Epic Boo Bees! (RP,PvE/PvP,wardecs,new players!) You are at it from day 0!
