Learning/Speaking Languages

[Melanicus 5,208]

That makes you a sexlinguist. Or quintlinguist if you don't want to count French

I thought I was a beast being tri/quadlingual, you showed me up

And I'm only 15...

Oh that would be interesting. Im going to HK at the end of the year after going to London to watch the Blues play. Hoping to get to the Harbin Ice City in China before I leave.

Do the South Island! I love it! You won't be let down! I highly recommend Central Otago (Wanaka, Queenstown, Cromwell) Milford Sound..Heaps to do =]

If you make it North stop in Shanghai to say hi

Italian mothertongue and I'm learning english.

In September, I will go to live in Tallinn, so I hope to learn estonian and russian languages.

Bump.

I just completed my internship and I have a few months on hand till my exams in November so I really want to get round to learning a new language. I'm interested in German and Spanish. Which one is easier? I'm only really looking to become fluent in the conversational aspect, mind.

[whatthemata 249]

English, Scottish Gaelic and learnt a bit of Spanish during my first year at uni!

Edit: Whoops, and a little bit of French at school, but that's going down as I've forgotten some of it!

[Stingray 9,441]

Dutch, French, English and a bit of German (highschool Latin not counting)

@madmax : I found German difficult to master with all the cases (Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, ...). I hated that in Latin and it screwed up my German as well.

I'd go for Spanish - a lot more people speak it and it sounds quite a bit sexier :-)

Spanish is easy to learn and speak. German has very specific grammar which can be hard.

I still remember my high school Spanish! My husband is semi fluent. My mandarin is still painful!

I can speak English, Korean, Indonesian, and decent chinese in a few dialects(mandarin, cantonese, hakka)

Japanese wouldnt be hard to learn for me, but ive never thought about it. French sounds interesting to me, i like the way it is spoken. Might learn that after i get my chinese fluent, those intonations are probably the hardest part about it.

Correct, telling someone they have a nice ass in German just doesn't sound as sexy as saying it in Spanish!

German: Sie haben einen schönen Arsch - it just sounds so fucking angry!

Spanish: usted tiene un buen culo = guaranteed sexy-times!

English I was learning French but dropped it because it was too hard (the pronunications). I plan to learn Spanish when I'm finish with my current uni programme

Pick Spanish. I've learnt to speak it fluently in just 4 years.

(Can't say anything about German as I've been raised with it as my second language. Though, from what I heard, most of the people who learn German find it quite difficult due to its complicated grammar.)

I'd like to start studying a bit French this summer myself (if I find the time to do so...)

The characters would be easy but the pronunciation may not be from what I understand. Yes, the tones in Chinese are the hardest, characters are a killer too!

My native language is Kabyle/Arabic, but I also speak French and English, and I'm learning Spanish, I love it.

[francozola 2,040]

How have you guys learnt new languages? Have you gone for classes somewhere or learnt using CDs etc?

Thinking of learning French!
