I can speak only hungarian :\

Hey Juli! actually I can teach you Spanish and you can help me to improve my wicked Hungarian. :D

Well, I kinda passed by a similar experience, Sally...This year, I had to choose between english classes or spanish classes...Well, just 2 languages, not as many choices as you have but still...I chose spanish, because I thought it would be nice to learn a bit more about it, since my spanish is really poor and I have a notion of english...Guess if had to choose between so many languages, as you have, I'd pick up the one who I most had curiosity to learn or spanish as well, because it's the second universal language... :)

i wanna learn russian :kid:

Do it,Ren,its not so difficult:cool4: I'll help ya:kiss:

i speak english and of course indonesian, but i wanna learn norwegian, dont know why. is there anyone knows what's the norwegian language for 'you rock!' ?

 

:roll:

English,Czech,German,Hungarn,Slovak

just 5

I only speak swedish and english but I'm learning spanish right now...or at least I'm trying to learn it. the languages I'd like to learn are finnish, icelandic, german and japanese or chinese

This was my first week of German classes, it's a nice language... until now seems easy to handle but gotta ask... what's up with all the differentiation between capital and small letters? the teacher doesn't stop reminding we need to copy all EXACTLY as she writes. :thinking:

 

However it was quite funny when she told us it was was a big insult to speak informal with an older/unkown person... ;)

I know how to say f**k you a**hole in Korean. :)

This is so my thread...I totally love languages. Spanish is my mother tongue, I also speak English :P and I'm starting Portuguese classes this Saturday because it's so beautiful :heart: . I'm gonna be a translator and I'd like to learn as many languages as I can (not French or Italian though,I don't like them), I like Arabic, Japanese or Chinese and Russian (and Hebrew to please my grandma :P ).

Oh,and maybe Greek too.

 

 

If you wanna start learning a new language I recommend you not to start with latin ones, meaning French,Spanish (you already know those ones), Italian or Portuguese because the grammar and conjugation are extremely difficult to learn.

We have choices between Spanish, French, German, and Tagalog, and I chose French. I'm in my third year, and I like being able to speak it. I've taken Spanish before, but I hear it so often living where I do it got kind of boring. The others I just wasn't interested in.

 

I'll be signing up for a fourth year... my lessons can be boring, but like I said, I like being able to speak it. :)

so can anyone speak russian or japanese? is it very hard to learn? because i think i'd have a problem with any latin language

 

I'd stick with the romance languages i.e. French, Italian, Spanish.

 

I've heard that both Japanese and Russian are very hard languages to learn. You will have to put a lot of study time into it so I wouldn't choose these if they aren't your major or unless you really really want to learn them.

 

I've taken Spanish (primary school), French, and Italian (university). Don't ask me to speak any of them because I would butcher them beyond belief. I'm not good at languages at all! I'm told that I have a very American accent..which I do, so it's hard for me to pronounce foreign words. Such as the French word for Mister. People laugh..I swear. :embarassed:

 

Also Latin, unless you are going into the medical field I would see no point to study a dead language.

Do you mean why some words begin with a big letter and some with a small one?

 

Regularly subjects and objects always begin with a big letter.

 

For example: das Haus (the house), der Fisch (the fish), die Frau (the woman)

 

You may have also the three articles in front of it. Verbs and adjectives always begin with a small letter.

 

F.e.: spielen (to play), kaufen (to buy), schön (nice), kalt (cold)

 

There are exceptions aswell, for example if the word "beim" is in front of a verb.

 

F.e.: beim Spielen (while playing)

 

But I don't thing you will use this word in your first German lessons so forget this word. ;)

thanks for your advice. i thought that japanese would be very difficult, ewasn't that sure about russian. so it probably isn't a good idea to start learning another language, which might be even more difficult than the languages i've been studying.

 

i can't speak well in other languages either. i don't really have a problem in english... i make mistakes of course but people understand me. i can't speak french well, i sounds soo german.

Dutch (of course), English, Italian, Greek (not old Greek), German :)

i like japanese too and i also think it's an important language. i didn't know that there are so many signs. i thought every letter was a sign in japanese, so i thought there would be more or less the same numbers of signs as letters. i think in chinese every word is a sign, so there have to be thousands of signs.

 

anyway thank you very much for your help!

 

I think that Chinese is even more complicated... we learned at school that Chinese has each sign for each meaning... but that it doesn't differ that much from Japanese.

actualy... the language is not called Chinese.. it's Mandarin ;)

Mandarin Chinese, right. :)

 

What about Esperanto? Anybody speaks it?

actualy... the language is not called Chinese.. it's Mandarin ;)

 

arent there different languages in china?

i wanna learn russian :kid:

yeeeah, like you don't speak every language in the world already! :tongue:

Ah so true,Ren,you already know many.I wanna learn french,spanish and japanese :)

i want to learn Finnish, Italian and Portugese ... these are the three languages that i want to know in about ... less then 3 years. I already know Dutch very good ... English (very) good ... French very good and I can make myself clear in German....

Why do you want to learn Finnish Nic? It's very beautiful language but a bit difficult as well... Hope you have determination...

 

I only speak Finnish, English and Swedish but I'd like to learn at least French, Spanish and perhaps German (I studied it for a couple of months but I don't remember anything anymore).

I want to learn it cause there's not much non-finnish ppl that can speak it i think ... It sounds like a nice language to me ...
