I think in France they call one of their lower grades College, I forget what though

Middle school is college. Univesite is their equivalent of college.

In Brazil, colégio/escola = any kind of school (pre, elementary, middle, high).

Our French teacher said that if you take a french word that starts with 'e' and replace it with 's,' you'll have the Norwegian translation.

Really, it's 'skole' and 'skrive,' so the 'c' into 'k' also helps.

I'm pretty much master of 4 languages then. Haha, even though my French is terrible.

Master? I know English, French, and Russian. I also know 5 or 6 computer programming languages and sign language.

Oh wow, which would you say is the hardest and which is the most useful? I've heard python is easy and I think I'm going to learn lisp in the fall. I'm wondering if I should learn a language on my own or not. And if I do, should I learn a net based one? Like Javascript or something?

college = more or less trade school, I think, so it's at the same age level but most American "colleges" would be called "uni"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

americans say college, and sometimes university, but never uni.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

America is like the only country that calls university-level education "college"

British 'college', 'sixth form' or sometimes 'sixth form college' is just the equivalent to the last two years of American high school. The main difference is British students do only 3 or 4 subjects at this level rather than loads of them.
