Learning Another Language

PaulGilbert · 11-22-2007, 01:44 PM

Anyone else trying to learn another language? Talk about it here and share tips etc with others.

At the moment I'm studying Spanish, a few months in and progress is pretty good when I put the hours in. Also I want to strengthen my French as I have a little French heritage and it's been a long while.

I'm trying to learn Japanese and tagalog. Wouldn't mind learning chinese so that when I go into those chinese restaraunts, I can understand what those ba$tards say in their language and start laughing about!

Nah - I looked at a begginers course in Chinese....Hell No!

It's hard to take you seriously.
I see your screen name and hear:

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

It's hard to take you seriously, I look at your previous posts and they say it all..

Good contribution though, get out.

I'm gonna try teaching myself French, and my native Gaelic (Irish for Irish).

I took 2 years of French in high school. It was pretty easy to learn. I've forgotten pretty much everything though.

i speak and write three languages, yeah its awesome.

Im brushing up on Japanese. Since I'm back in the states I don't get a chance to speak Japanese much. Going to restaurants doesnt help either. It's funny, everytime I go to a Japanese restaurant and ask for the bathroom in Japanese, I don't realize that the establishment is owned by Koreans and they get angry at me for my mistake. Anyway, I'm learning Siamese now, and later I will learn Korean and Cebuano.

I still have a slight Sober accent. But I'm working on it

I'm so glad I took some university level French courses... I can basically figure out most things I hear now, it's just a lot of the pronouns that throw me off. Je t'adore, je m'adore, etc. But I'll get it.

I'm studying Mandarin, and you really have to put a LOT of time into it. Writing the characters is a pain.
