Question:

You'll need to at least learn their language.

You'll need to at least learn their language.

Not really. One thing about major european cities is that almost everyone speaks english. When I went to Amsterdam 3 weeks ago, I can't remember running into someone who didn't speak English. Same thing with Berlin 2 weeks ago and Frankfurt last week.

That's because they get so many English-speaking tourists. It's easier for them to learn English than for the English to learn foreign-speak.

Either that or they learn English just so they can laugh at us when you go up to them and say really slowly and loudly "HOW MUCH IS THIS BREAD? YOU KNOW, MON-EY."

And yes, it's called Maths - it's an abbreviation of Mathematics.

There is no 's' - it's just Math.

Maths makes more sense, though.

Which is why you say "Mathematics".

"Math" is American. "Maths" is the proper, English way of saying it.

And "Maths" does make more sense - it's not just one thing you do in the subject, but many.
