I've been learning german since I started grammar school, and have been doing it for just over three years now. Both my parents are fluent in German. I wish that thay had brought me up to be bilingual, but appearently, its difficult for non native speakers (german isn't their first language). I don't feel that I'm that good at German, compared to you, practically fluent in English.

Well, you can check out my synopsis here, but its about a Roman demigod in roman times who loves a greek and becomes an outcast for it. He runs away to camp half blood, but its turns out he was a son of zeus all the time, not a son of jupiter, just he was brought up bilingual and he didn't know that he was. It is of one in seven mini stories, about a boy who gets reincarnated seven times (with slightly different personalities). On the seventh time he breaks the law and is forced to become a god, and be all seven different people at once ( like split personalities). I started writing it before the son of neptune came out, so the details are really iffy. Plus, I changed charcters. I made Apollo more serious and responsible and Lupa and Chiron more warlike.Natalya Finnley 20:21, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

well, not all private schools here in the U.S. have uniform, just most, to distinguish between private and public. My school just happens to be also a high school, so we don't have uniform.  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 00:32, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

A sysop is anyone with special rights on the site (chat moderator, rollback, admin, and b-crat). Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  10:44, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ciao. Yeah, I get those alot. Like Frank's steroetypes, except mine are like, totally absurd. Once I got 39/40 and they're all like, 'Oh what happened with miss perfect? No more 40's?' It annoys. Anyways, saw you pic in the 'Administrator team' thingy, you were on the 'Rollbacks', good job! The thing is, what is rollbacks? =). I know I just said 'good job', even though I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it feels awesome to be published in a template like that! Right?

All I can say is... COOL! Well, I tried undo-ing wiki contributors' edits, it work for me, but why? Anyways, awesome. =) Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  13:02, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Thast game sounds so cool! Porn Bingo? Seriously? OMG, you guys obviously don't lack imagination! There is a game Greeks play, but it's not dirty.. Each student is assigned a fruit and when sb says it, they have to stand up. I have the impression we're not the only ones to play this. So, how do you exactly get a teacher to say obscene words? BTW, I love the Simpsons!!! :D Oh, I noticed that you've been talking about stereotypes about the people of certain countries and since you're German, I was curious what you guys honestly think about us. I don't know if you keep up with the news.., but we're not very popular these days. Mary! (talk &bull; contribs) 14:08, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I like creative stuff, but I'm not very good at essays. I think that learning German is easier than learning French because in German you know how to prononuce stuff. Plus I hated french from the beginning. It was because everyone learnt it, and I just didn't like it. I make grammatical mistakes in english, but thats just me. In German its mainly spelling of nouns that I get wrong, and the der, die das. Have you ever been to Stuttgart? I've been there. Have you ever visited anywhere in England? I know it sounds wierd, but do you find it difficult that "the" in english has no gender or whatever? It was hard for me to get around der, die das in the beginning, but then it started to make sense. On this Wikia, I don't think people are bothered about grammar mistakes and stuff that much, I mean, I'm sure some of the English native speakers make mistakes, though with them its probably spelling.Natalya Finnley 18:54, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

You're honest, I Iike that. To me, racism is unacceptable. Greeks of my age hate racists and I think most young people feel that way. Personally, I don't blame the Germans, I blame the governments and mostly ours. You know what our problem is? Incompetent politicians. We blame them. But in times like these, people just have to blame sb and I guess that's why Merkel (I don't know how to spell her name) is the easy solution for some. But we have a great sense of humor, so people just make jokes about her or other European politicians. It sucks that Germans are afraid to come here, but when we go anywhere in Europe, the minute we say we're Greeks, we get pity looks or people look down on us. I know cases. Sad, isn't it? It's unfair to judge sb by their nationality. In general, Greeks really like foreigners. We find them interesting. I think English and Germans buy houses on Mount Pilio. Mary!

Exactly! I think wherever you go, people make fun of their politicians. Satirical TV shows that make fun of the media, politics and stuff, are very popular in Greece, not to mention hilarious. Comments we hear about Merkel go sth like this: "I'm willing to give my body to/sleep with Merkel in order to save Greece". That's very common, cuz Greeks kinda feel.. violated (??), to be polite! I remember that brilliant idea to sell our islands and now with that ultimatum she and Sarcozy gave us, she's sort of a bitch (sorry). OMG! I just saw the photos! I had noticed her hands, but I had no idea she did this so often! Anyway, you have no idea what we say about our politicians.. First of all, our Prime Minister, Papandreou is completely dellusional. It's like he's living in a different country or planet.. He's expected to resign today, thank God!!! One of our favorites is Psomiadis. He's on different shows every day commenting on gossips about our local "celebrities". He's unbelievable. Paggalos is mocked because of his weight, just like our previous Prime Minister and maybe the craziest of all, Georgiadis who is very fanatical about Ancient Greek and religion and yells all day long on TV. His party is shown by the media to hate immigrants. Mary! (talk &bull; contribs) 11:22, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I left chat. It was like, broken. And I don't know. Some type of wiki glitch. So sad I like having a chat. D: SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 23:04, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Of course. Look, I've never been rich in my life. My parents are police officers and they worked hard to get a good salary. Now that salary keeps reducing and reducing. I think we're gonna be fine, but I'm worried about families that only one member of the household has a job, about families with more that 3 or 4 children, about old people getting pensions around 200 euros or people getting the same as salary. So yeah, life has changed. Because of the media's exaggeration of course, the French are under the impression that people are so poor that walking on a street, you'd find bodies everywhere. That's not true, this isn't 1940! Mary! (talk &bull; contribs) 08:56, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I'll fix it. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  15:48, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

if you're here, care to go on chat?  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 18:41, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think so. I mean the hardest part about being an admin is blocking people. It isnt something I enjoy because sometimes I have to block new users that dont come back or users that have been here awhile and just dont listen. If you can get past that, you should be good. As far as your editing goes, you make good edits and I dont see any warnings or anything which is a good sign. Just be prepared to get asked a lot of questions by new users who dont know what they are doing. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  18:47, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

ummm...let me first demote you to see what's going on.  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 19:37, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

how about your internet service? is yours internet exploror 9?  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 19:41, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

that's happened to me before. try another wiki's chat, and then come back is all i can suggest.  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 19:43, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

when i was fixing the template, i realize that there were too few admins so i decided not to, but i'll nominate you later. I won't forget, i promise.  Athletiger Talk~Angelica Liu 19:52, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I came to Germany for a week, and stayed with a "host family". We were based in Aachen, but also visted Monshau, Bonn and Koeln. I came to Stuttgart seperately with my family. Are you guys able to "drop" (not do) subjects after a certain number of years of doing it?

For GCSE's we are allowed to drop the subjects we are not doing for the GCSE's. Everyone has to do English Lit(erature), English Lang(uage), Maths (x2), Chemistry, Biology and Physics. We also have to do a tech (textiles, ICT, food technology or Product Design - woods, metals and plastics). As well as a language (french or german), a humanity (geography, history or RS - religious studies), as well as 2 extras (another langauge, another hunamity or music, art, PE, business studies or latin). All in all thats 12. We have more than one exam per subject. For example, we will have 3 or 4 exams in the language that we are doing. Natalya Finnley 20:57, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
