So Facepunch, I have recently been contemplating whether to learn another language. I learned Spanish already (and still learning more advanced techniques), and really want to learn Russian. My only question is if learning another language will be difficult, or hinder my ability to speak the other. But Russian is really unlike Spanish, so I doubt it though. Will it be difficult?
[U]Learn to French[/U], and of course it will have it's hard moments.
Learn German/Galic/ or Latin.
Basically what you said, I would've thought it wouldn't be tricky considering they aren't similar. No me gusta клоуны
I just want to know if it will be difficult.
Learn gangsta speak.
Thanks to any who doesn't reply with an unwitty joke.
Learn French or a laungauge based off english, it'll be easier. Or learn latin, would be handy.
Learn Chinese. You'll thank me in the future.

I also want to learn German, Spanish, Swedish and possibly a South-East Asian languag.
[QUOTE=BRAWLmilk;16249639]I just want to know if it will be difficult.[/QUOTE] Yes Russian is not a very simple language. Also depends on the teacher who you have.
I learned English mainly from cartoons and asking my mom what certain words meant. :v:
I too wish to speak russian. I have the alphabet, so I can pronounce everything I see, but I'm looking for kids books so that I can start small with simple words and move on from there.
I speak 3 languages fluently and they're pretty different but I find I suck at one if I don't practice enough. So as long as you speak it regularly you should be fine.
don't learn Asian it is a hard language and nobody speaks it,.
dont learn latin, i take it in school, and its the biggest fucking waste of time. But if you already know one language, learning another one won't be difficult. my spanish teacher is fluent in 4 languages (english, spanish, portuguese, and french). i recommend you learn portuguese before learning russian because it is a mix of spanish and slavic languages good luck :) and
I planned to use Rosetta Stone, the reviews of the russian version were highly rated and said it much easier than they imagined.
[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;16250569]don't learn Asian it is a hard language and nobody speaks it,.[/QUOTE] Asian people do. There's a lot of Asian folk on this planet.
Well, don't know much about languages seeing as I only take high school Spanish and can't even speak that well going into the third level. I really don't think the schools teach languages as efficiently as they could, so I'd like to see if private/commercial books and the like would be more helpful. I've always thought it'd be incredibly interesting to be able to speak another language even nearly as fluently as I can speak English, my native language. You can learn so much about a culture through language.
[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;16250569]don't learn Asian it is a hard language and nobody speaks it,.[/QUOTE] If your in America learn mexican
If you want to build your English vocabulary/know awesome stuff, take Latin.

[QUOTE=Frank_West;16249564]Learn to French, and of course it will have it's hard moments.[/QUOTE] Not if you're canadian. Wait a second.
I want to learn Russian too.

Will it be difficult?[/QUOTE] I finished my second year of high school Spanish and started self-learning Russian halfway into last school year. I don't know much, some phrases and basic Hi's and Bye's, and I know the alphabet and the sounds of each letter and whatnot, and recognize plenty of words if I'm reading something Russian. I'm just now getting into grammar. Russian isn't much of a hard language to learn, compared to Spanish, maybe a bit tougher for the few rules, lack of indefinite articles, and different alphabet. They're really kinda similar int he grammar basics, so you shouldn't have much of a problem. Oh, and they have some really long words compared to English for alot of things that we have shorter phrases for, so that can be a pain.
Defiently dont learn elvish.
once i told this one kid that "ching chong" meant "hello" and then I told another kid that it meant "fuck you" then i told the kid who knew it as "hello" to the kid who knew it as "fuck you" and he beat him up i lol'd
Learning another language is difficult most of the time. Especially russian considering it's a different alphabet. Just stick with it if you really want to learn.
Learn Danish
What? I thought most people already knew two languages. Hell, I can even speak 3 languages, like most swedes who took their language class serious.
