You know how in Western countries there tends to be a lot of ignorance and racism when it comes to Asian languages and cultures? In Iceland basically every Asian languages are referred to as "Chinese" even though the person who says that literally has no idea, so it's kind of a xenophobic generalization. Maybe "chinoca" is a similar term.
Thats was a joke. "Chinoca" is term used by most people who can't distinguish Asian languages. So they call "Chinoca" Whatever seems Chinese. I don't know if it means the same as this "Gook" or wathever
"Porra agora até estão a falar chinoca... O filha da mãe é verdade! O
cabrão do Ponte também sabe falar português! EU NUNCA MAIS TEREI
PRIVACIDADE!"
I said "Fuck. Now they are even speaking in "Chinoca"... Oh son of a bitch! I nearly forgot the damn Bridge (Closest translation but it still doesn't seem a correct one) knows how to speak in Portuguese! I SHALL NEVER HAVE PRIVACY AGAIN!"
Again. Joke. I had no nefarious intentions whit this

Story of a Briton that really. I'm Welsh and everyone in Wales speaks English, yet quite few Welsh people actually speak Welsh anymore. Recently its on the increase which is good, but its a good example of how we take English for granted as being a Universal language.
I admire you European/Non-Native English speakers, yet envy at the same time.
Long term life goals: Learn Welsh, French, Swedish all fluently.
You wanna learn swedish? Well that'll take some time, our grammar is a real bitch, there are exceptions to every rule. Men om du jobbar på det så kanske du kan prata med oss en dag. Om än endast oss här i norden...
I think it's interesting with languages, I speak swedish (ofcourse), english and some spanish. And I have to disagree and say that I think it is good that english is a universal language, not because it is english but because a universal language is essential for us to be able to comunicate. And the reason why it is english, I belive, is because of our dear brittish folks sailing the world and claiming lands by sticking a flag in the ground. It could as easily have been french or spanish. Heck, not so long ago german was the language used in Europe for comunication between nations. I guess it changes with time...
