that's some collection of languages Willie

missy: now that's a language I'll never learn. What the sign for God?
The character for God is : 上帝 which is pronounced - shang di or you can say 神 shen . Shang di from what I understand is very ancient name for God but Chinese tell me all the time to use shen as its more commonly used but the Chinese ESV also used Shang Di and its connected to Ancient Chinese Christianity. The word for heaven is Tian which is very similiar to the word big - great or big etc in fact the word heaven is changed from great by inserting a character that that looks like a minus sign so theory it was to mean Most high. :)

Hehe. I'm not good with them either. I try to learn a few words when I visit a new country, so I can now say thank you in several languages (probably extremely accented in most cases :p )


Takk, Tack, Danke, Bedankt, Gracias, Merci, Shokran

(Norwegian, Swedish, German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Moroccan)

Haha yeah you are either good with languages or you are not, you have to have a good memory to be good with languages. Like you I tend to learn the basics whilst on holiday, mostly forgetting what I've learned when I have been home a few months.

Whilst in Jamaica I learned the phrase "ye mon" and "no probLEM" passed for most things ;) :p
